Answer:
By using evidence to support the ideas she expresses in her book review, the author of "Shakespeare and Samurai (and Robot Ninjas?)" shows that she wanted to provide analysis of both the graphic novel's text and its illustrations. The author offers detailed analysis and critique of the graphic novel's story, dialogue, characters, themes, and artistic style. The review considers both the positive and negative aspects of the graphic novel, but the primary focus is on providing analysis and critique rather than an equal number of positive and negative comments. The author does not express a preference for dialogue over the graphic novel's setting or focus on providing details over explaining her reasoning.
