2. PLOT SUMMARY
A wild imaginary graphic novel that is 3
books wrapped up in one. The book first
story THE RED TREE is a tale of a girl that seems depressed and later finds
good in a red tree that grows up in the middle of her bedroom.
The next story is THE LOST THING about a
boy who finds a large, red “friendly” machine on a beach and takes it home like
a lost puppy. No one claims it so he
makes it his mission to find its home, a home where he says nothing “doesn’t
quit fit”.
THE RABBITS is a story that rabbits invaded the area
and brought their ways with them and took over and destroy the world.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS
I did not care for the stories in this graphic novel;
I found them dark and dreary. The
imagery on the other hand was incredible and vivid. The characters were not so believable. The sections were difficult to understand
until I read the authors notes at the end and discovered that most of the
stories were metaphors.
