When kids were bullying Graig at school in third grade, one of the kids pushed Graig so hard on the ground, therefore the illustrator draw the panel box so harsh, thick and dark. And the lines in Graig’s eyes said how painful it is him falling (p20).Pictures alone or writing only could not be as fun as adding lines of art. For that reason lines come along to convey complex ideas assisting words or motion pictures. Knowing that lines can achieve the same results as several sentences of explicit imagery. If we realize that same shaded lines McCloud used in several pictures, but every time were for different emotion. For Example, when Graig got F for his paper writing (27) the lines in the background explained sadness and shame, which are so similar to the lines in the background when he got A on his paper (169) which explained pride and joy, as well so similar to the line behind his dad (169) when he was challenging Graig with many conditions in order to Graig go see Raina.Lines could vary in widths in whichever assist the author to let the reader understand the concept of the moment in the panel in the story.

In Blankets we see the sweating beads around Graig’s face (185) when Raina’s deceived him when asking to paint her room walls, but Graig’s thoughts were anxious and scared that Raina would ask him to make a sin. Similar bead drops were around Raina’s head (289) shouting at the bullying kids to leave her brother Ben alone, which express anger and madness.The Backgrounds is another essential valuable tool for visualizing emotions. Such internal affect about internal matters, for example, a picture with no words and no facial expression but induced with background that tells all about it. When Graig and Raina
