The project however ends violently. But the efforts of those involved are not in vain for a new ability to wage war is born from the blood of one of the victims. Imagine a virus, the most terrifying virus you can and then imagine that you and you only have the cure. But if you’re ultimate goal is power, how best to use such a weapon? Well it’s at this point in the story that along comes a spider, he is a man seemingly without a conscience for whom the ends always justify the means. He suggests that their target should not be an enemy of the country but rather, the country it self. Three targets are chosen to maximize the affect of the attack: A school, a tube station and a water treatment plant. Several hundred die within the first few weeks.

    I chose the biographical nonfiction book With Malice Toward None: A Life of Abraham Lincoln by Stephen B. Oates. As one may guess, the book is about our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln. I am generally interested in Abraham Lincoln anyways, and I have heard good things about this book, so I decided to read it for the extension project, which made me part of Oates’ intended audience.…

    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.…

    Animal Farm/V for Vendetta

    In many great texts concerning the politics, it can be observed that the context in which the piece was created greatly influences the ways in which values and themes are presented and the form in which it is produced. Major ground shaking events have the power to transform paradigms of individuals and whole societies, and in turn morph and influence the themes a text created in the same time period implores. Warner Brother's 2005 film "V for Vendetta" and George Orwell's 1945 novelette "Animal Farm" both deal with concepts present in the political climates of their times and the problems associated with them; the cost of apathy towards injustice, propaganda and its influence, and the crippling aspect of fear. The representation of the themes present in the two texts contrast and compare in many ways due to the diversity in the contexts under which each was created and the universal continuity of the themes present. Orwell's 1945 text was created at the end of the Russian social revolution that left the once optimistic Russian people in tatters and under the boot of a brutal fascist regime, while the Hollywood movie was created post 9/11 in a time where people turned to their government for protection from unknown threats, willing to sacrifice their liberty for safety. It was situated in a future dystopia as opposed to Animal Farm's historical setting and warned of what could be the outcome of choosing to blindly follow the neo-conservative politics of film's time such as Bush's and Thatcher's parties. Both texts make political statements that are influenced by the historical and personal context of their creation and contrast and compare greatly in form and values.…

    Freedom of speech, freedom of your owns thoughts and actions, the right to happiness. In our society today, we have all these rights, but imagine if we did not. 1984, written by George Orwell, and V for Vendetta, directed by James McTeigue, both paint accurately scary descriptions about the government in the future and the dystopian society. 1984, written in 1949, was intended to be a portrayal of the future and V for Vendetta, made in 2005, shows Britain in power in 2038. Both of these pieces of literature were not far off from their description. As every single year passes by, our own society starts to reflect images from these books. When the government has this much power over the people, the people rebel, but can they be a success or not?…

Because the stories are set in dissimilar environments, the way in which the authors depict violence is geared to the setting in which it occurs. However, the harmful effects of violence on the human psyche are portrayed in similar ways in both stories.…
