    The Westing Game book and movie, “Get a Clue” are quite similar and different from each other. In my opinion, the book was more appealing to read than to watch the movie. It was long, suspenseful and frequently changed point of view between characters. Instead, the movie was short, straight-forward, and focused mainly on Turtle Wexler. Although the plot, characters that remained, and storyline were similar.…

    One of the main characters in “V for Vendetta” is V. He is a mysterious, vigilante, freedom fighter, and a terrorist who is easily recognized by his Guy Fawkes mask, long hair, and dark clothing. He is a person permeated by an idea that the country they are living in is sick and that it is his duty to save the country and fulfill the idea. He was permeated by this idea after his experience at Larkhill where he underwent medical testing and saw that his country was up to. The costume V is wearing is mainly black and could possibly symbolize his dark site because V is no ordinary hero and the dark outfit underlines these two sites of him. Furthermore, V also wears a bright and white mask, which could symbolize that he also has some good in him. Additionally, the mask V is wearing is a Guy Fawkes mask, which underlines the idea he is permeated by. The mask shows us that he has the same idea as Guy Fawkes, which is to take the government down.…

    He is extremely intelligent, and uses a high class of vocabulary. He was a victim of illegal genetic testing by the government in an effort to further their knowledge about the human torture. He is to bring justice to his country and bring down the government. V murdered these individuals that did the illegal investigation as a payback for the suffering they have caused him and hundreds of other people. Despite V acting as a “Terrorist” he is presented in a way to the audience so that they converge with him and support him because of his backstory.

    Artificial Intelligence is becoming to be a rising topic, and fiction movies about it are starting to seem more like an actual possibility in the future. Two movies that I watched about this topic, are the Blade Runner, and Wall-e. They both have many common elements, and of course have their differences. Overall, they both give viewers an idea of what the future could hold and the dangers along with it. The movies shared differences in their artificial intelligence, therefore afforded different rights, but surprisingly came from similar societies.…

    Both 1984 by George Orwell and V for Vendetta directed by James McTeigue depict dystopian totalitarian societies. Both protagonists in V for Vendetta and 1984 wish to overturn their current government. V’s aggressive acts against his government are successful in crippling the government as opposed to Winton’s passive aggressive attitude which leads to his failure. The substantial difference in each protagonists’ aggression and motivation largely influence the end result of each of the governments.…

    in today’s society, people consume knowledge, coaching, and media in a unique way. People consume knowledge, coaching, and media almost as sponges, soaking up everything that is taught or shown to them. This way of consumption is very similar to Freire’s banking style of education, where the students act as a sponge and take in everything that teachers say without question. Freire’s theory could also be applied to the societies depicted in V for Vendetta and Brave New World. In both dystopian societies, people consume media and knowledge in a very similar way to our own “Utopian society.” In other words, even though our society could be considered “utopian” in nature, it could more easily be compared to the dystopian societies of Brave New…
