V for Vendetta

There are all kinds of readers. Readers who can't put a single book down, no matter how boring or hard it is. Readers who read ONLY a certain type of book, and impatient readers. That's me. I love reading, don't get me wrong, I just need to work on my patience a little. If a book doesn't hook me in the first eighty pages, sadly, I would put it down.

However, I found that no matter how slow or boring a comic might be, I would hardly put it down. For some reason I find comics and graphic novels most amusing. And so I found this graphic novel (recommended by a very good friend of mine) called V for Vendetta, by Alan Moore. I've read tons and tons of comics and several books, and I can honestly say that no other piece of writing has enchanted me as much as this one did.

I first read it when I was a senior in High School, and for some reason it caused a huge impact on me. As you know, senior years are always a hazzle. You have no clue what you want to study, you REALLY want to travel, get out of the house, discover yourself (who you really are).. Anyway, senior year is a total journey. And so I was in one. I was on a journey of discovering my true self, and this book influenced me big time. …show more content…

However, I will say that this is a book about finding your mind, your independence. It teaches you that the matter of which we humans are all made of, is simply that: matter. Eventually everyone will die, decompose, and become dust. Then what? Your body is gone, but something is still remaining. It's not your name, it's not your valuable goods you might've left behind, it's not your house, it's something bigger than that. And you won't believe how simple and underrated that thing

When I first started reading it, I thought that it was going to be really boring because it was about history. But as I got further along in the book, I realized that it was not just a typical history book. Michael Shaara had written the book in a way so that it was easy for us to experience the American Civil War with the soldiers on the field. The different sections of the book were written so that it was from each individual’s point of view, which I found quite interesting. Michael Shaara approached this book in a different manner and I think it really did the book some justice.

The book really made me think of all the stuff that I take for granted, and how I should be more appreciative and how there are people with less than me who are just as happy if not happier. If you’re not a fan of books that are sad but shocking and at times harsh because you think they’re boring or they don’t fulfill you’re interests, then I would still recommend you try reading the book because it’s very intriguing but I can’t guarantee you’ll love it, and if you do enjoy books like that then I say it’s a must read! Such a great true

The book consists of many compelling short stories that revolve around the major conflict, which allowed me to read the book without losing interest. However, the book was not just entertaining to read, but taught me many life lessons and allowed me to realize many important facts. For example, in the book, Denver and Ron are two opposite people that have virtually nothing in common and are actually a little bit scared of each other at first. However, after they decide to reach out to one another, they not only become best friends, but end up changing each others’ lives for the better. This reminded me that I could be a little bit more outgoing and friendly in life, reaching out to other people instead of seeing the same couple of faces every day.

There are a few things that made this book good. First, I liked how the author used real people that survived Hurricane Katrina as his characters. I liked this because it really showed what all differnt people went trough when the storm hit, and the months after. Second, the author drew out a good timeline on how all the events occurred. Third, even though though this was a graphic novel it still was easy to read and follow the story line.

Response #7 Burke is explaining how rhetorical writing needs to be identified first to be understood. Depending on the rhetorical writing and how the author changes up what happens with the main characters, the writing is not intended to persuade. When the main characters within the text are understood then it's decided whether the argument is on that person. Since humans are divided in the way of thinking and how they have different personalities the identification of motives helps them believe that they aren't divided and that they are connected somehow. Everyone is his or her own individual but through identification, through rhetoric, we can think that we see ourselves in another person or group but even if we don’t the fact that we still

My whole life I struggled to understand what made reading enjoyable to people. I struggled to focus on the ideas of books. It wasn't until about a year ago I was given a book to borrow from a friend. I saw this friend as a mentor in my life and she felt I needed to read this book. I put off reading the book as long as possible but when I finally started progressing through the book my opinion had been altered.

Film is specifically made to be sold. Film is an art that is also a source of income. No matter the format, be it big budget or independent, film is a commercial product.
