...Colin Stein ENGL 3060 Mr. Daniel Larson April 18, 2014 Anarchy, Chaos, and Revolution in V for Vendetta Close Reading Panels: (Moore, 248) Throughout V for Vendetta, author Alan Moore emphasizes the significant line that V draws between anarchy and chaos, and the role that each concept plays in his revolution. Whereas V lives his life according to the precepts, or lack thereof, inherent to anarchism, he vehemently condemns the blind purposelessness, impropriety, and disorder of total chaos. Both concepts, however, are associated with V’s act of revolution; anarchy and chaos initiate the uprising, and it is up to Evey and the liberated citizenry of Great Britain to either stay the course with anarchy and rebuild their society or allow it to devolve into a state of chaos. A close reading analysis of the panels above reflect V’s beliefs regarding anarchy, chaos, and revolution, and their critical relationship to one another. This paper will argue that anarchy and chaos are bound to the concept of revolution, in that the society following a revolution faces structured anarchy or an unstructured chaos. Moore reinforces this theme in the panels through his symbolism and specific diction. Within these two panels, David Lloyd’s animation exhibits a number of symbolic images that reinforce Moore’s theme. One such example occurs in the first panel, on the image of V. In this scene, as the slain V’s words on revolution echo in Evey’s head, his body is symmetrically split into...

...3434 11/23/15 V for Vendetta Analysis WR 111 C Analysis In the film, V for Vendetta, the director James McTeigue implies that ideas are bulletproof because the idea lives on through the people you've touched. The movie starts off with V saving a fearful women named Evey. She is scared of everything because her parents were killed and she watched her mother get beaten by government officials. V then goes on to explain his beliefs and ideas, and he even shows her his first act of rebellion by destroying the Old Bailey. They then run into each other a couple more times before the main events of V imprisoning Evey to help her lose her fears. She ends up wanting to die rather than give up any information for V's arrest. V does this to help her lose her fears and see what he had to go through partially. His main thing was for her to lose her fears so she would help him execute his main act of rebellion to free the society of their fear and for his ideas to live on. Once he gets all of London to follow his idea, he knows his idea will be bulletproof and it will live on through everyone he touched. V was a victim of a government ran epidemic. The government was experimenting on London natives trying to find a substance to make a super soldier who held a cure and use a illness to be a devastating chemical warfare weapon. V actually held the cure and he was the super soldier the government was trying to make. The whole laboratory went up in flames and burned down unfortunately...

...An Exposé of Control in The Hunger Games & V for Vendetta ‘Government is not the solution to our problem. Government is the problem’. Bill Clinton’s quote clearly articulates how Government seems to be the problem in society but fails to produce his rationale. Therefore his statement is ambiguous and is open to different thoughts and interpretation. Accordingly, a Government could be problematic due to a lack of justice and democracy within the system; which in turn creates a fascist and totalitarian-type rule whose fundamental belief surrounds the idea of ‘control’. This form of Government is evident within the novel ‘The Hunger Games’ by Suzanne Collins and the comic ‘V for Vendetta’ by Alan Moore. ‘The Hunger Games’ exposes the detriment of a corrupted, twisted, totalitarian Government controlling a deteriorated society. It is set in post-America with the ominous, terrifying Capitol reigning from the center, ruling 12 districts around it. Similarly ‘V for Vendetta’ is set in London in a world altered by the damages of war, famine and disease hence birthing a fascist, tyrannical Government inspiring fear and control over its citizens by any means possible. It is arguable that both ‘The Hunger Games’ and ‘V for Vendetta’ serve as exposé’s of their respective fascist and totalitarian Governments exerting different aspects of control over their societies. Within the ‘Hunger Games’, the all-powerful Capitol rules the society. They possess a large majority of the country’s wealth...

...understanding of human nature and the human condition, the timelessness of his works, and hi exquisite mastery of the English language. The Renaissance (during which he wrote) was a particularly transformative time in English history, initiating a sense of English nationalism and pride in English as a language of art. Some critics continue to challenge his authenticity and relevance making the future of Shakespeare within the curriculum of both secondary school and higher education at stake. Shakespearean Literature still speaks to modernity and is therefore important in the schools. Humanism, mastery of the English language, English nationalism, and pride in English Language as an art is brought forth in works such as, As You Like It, King Henry V, and The Tragical History of Hamlet Prince of Denmark. Students need to learn these works in order to have a broadened understanding of the English Language, culture, and history. William Shakespeare has provided the world with guidelines to the English Language, an understanding of human nature, and the ability to deal with a wide variety of emotional situations through his performative literature. Students will continue to benefit from his works of art for centuries to come. Therefore, a 446-year-old playwright is our children’s best resource and greatest teacher. During the Renaissance, the English Language was undergoing a transformation. Many new words were being added. Shakespeare coined many of these new words and phrases, as...

...that I saw for the first time, V For Vendetta, blew my mind when I started analyzing it deeper. The movie is based around the idea of social change and revolution. The main character, V, can only be considered a ‘terrorist’ despite the well meaning he has behind his actions. This movie has fans in great numbers due to our ability to relate with V. His charisma shows through making him seemingly charming and dramatic. The movie is a symbol of rebellion, the possibility of a simple idea changing the world. As I watched the movie, a theme of terrorism seemed to arise. V is made to be likable yet he is doing anti government actions and behaving in a way that we would usually be more resilient against and brutal towards. The idea that V is fighting against an all-controlling government helps us accept that V is technically a good guy, fighting for freedom like the United States. Another common theme throughout the film is lies and deception. The government shields the truth from the public, even though they know it couldn’t possibly be true. For example, when they lie about the blowing up of the statue in the beginning. The government continues to lie about the state of danger the country is in by showing inaccurate news reports of officers shooting their own peers who happened to be dressed like V, but the government portrays the fallen officer as V, himself. The use of lies in the story line only continues when V takes Evey by false imprisonment. V portrays himself as the government...

...WATERFALL MODEL Waterfall Model is use for designing hospital management system. In a waterfall model, each phase must be completed before the next phase can begin and there is no overlapping in the phases. The waterfall Model illustrates the software development process in a linear sequential flow; hence it is also referred to as a linear-sequential life cycle model. This means that any phase in the development process begins only if the previous phase is complete. In waterfall model phases do not overlap. Following is a diagrammatic representation of different phases of waterfall model. . Phase I: Requirements The first phase involves understanding what you need to design and what is its function, purpose etc. Unless you know what you want to design, you cannot proceed with the project. Even a small code such as adding two integer numbers, needs to be written with the output in mind. Here, in this stage, the requirements which the software is going to satisfy are listed and detailed. These requirements are then presented to the team of programmers. If this phase is completed successfully, it ensures a smooth working of the remaining phases, as the programmer is not burdened to make changes at later stages because of changes in requirements. Phase II: Analysis As per the requirements, the software and hardware needed for the proper completion of the project is analyzed in this phase. Right from deciding which computer language should be used for designing...

...he film Saw V is within a series of films all directed by David Hackl. Saw can be put into many genres, but I feel if i had to pick any particular genres they would be Thriller (Psychological Thriller), Mystery and Crime Fiction. In this essay, I will be discussing these genres and their conventions in order to support my views in deciding what genre of film Saw is. Various genres will also be discussed throughout the rest of my essay. The low key lighting is conventional in a Saw V as the dark shadows help to create the mysterious scenes and the tension as we as the audience feel shadowed and unaware of what is going to happen. It is used multiple parts of the film, so it emphasises their constant danger in the specific situations that they are in, which creates a higher suspense level and makes the audience in a continuous vulnerable position which is how a thriller is aimed to make them feel. Another convention to Saw V, is innocent victims are made vulnerable, and either made to be murdered or go through a series of unfortunate events. It is natural to expect many murders or jumpy scenes in Saw V to make the scenes more terrifying and heart stopping. In the movie we see many of the victims in the "survival of fitness" trying to fight for their life's. At the end of this specific scene one man is horrifically blown up, therefore murdered. The victims are made to look like normal everyday people, which makes the scene to be more relatable to real life, as the aim is to...

...Competition is an element found all throughout everyday life. First in line, first in the class, and in the texts V for Vendetta directed by Jame McTeigue and Animal Farm written by Geoge Orwell this is no different. In V for Vendetta, several parties are competing for power in the British government and will stop at nothing to grasp tightly around victory. This victory is so important to these people that they would do anything. In V for Vendetta, it was the conservative party that took "anything" to a new extreme. After developing a chemical weapon rather than using this weapon against enemies of the state they impose it's deadly nature upon their own country. Why? Whilst developing this weapon a cure was also developed, the quote "Some...

...Michael Bennett Page 1 Dr. Alla Boldina ENG 110-60 REVOLUTION AND ROMANCE Creedy: “Why won’t you die!?” V: “Beneath this mask is more than flesh…there are ideas. And ideas are bulletproof.” With these words, the film, “V for Vendetta” dramatically demonstrates the power of ideas to challenge and overcome the evil of oppression. In film critic Robert Ebert’s review of “V for Vendetta,” he notes the power of ideas, especially the belief that people should not be afraid of their governments, but rather that governments should be afraid of their people. Although Ebert questions the necessity of fear, and believes that governments and people should be able to happily co-exist, I think he trivializes the significance of the film’s message. Although it is an in-depth, well written look at the story, it is one-sided. He gives credit to a novel written by Allen Moore in 1983, on which the film is based, and compares “V for Vendetta” to other movies and stories. The main character, V, is described in detail, and Ebert explains his purpose in the story. The other characters, however, are not mentioned very much, leaving the reader a bit blank. I appreciate that he mentions the main idea of the film, and is generous with quotations. I do fin d his criticism a bit excessive, as he puts down the mask that V wears because the lips don’t move and his vision would be obstructed. Ebert seems biased on behalf of London’s architecture, as he expresses his disappointment...

...The adaptation of Much Ado was Branagh’s second attempt at turning a Shakespearian classic into a box office phenomenon. Brannagh first adapted a Shakespearian play in 1989 with Henry V. “Branagh's "Henry V" emerges from the darkness with the rip and sputter of a struck match. It's a magnificent beginning and a startling metaphor -- an inspired equivalent for Shakespeare's "muse of fire" -- and the first stroke of brilliance in this audacious, resonant, passionate film” … Well that’s what Hal Hinson of the Washington Post thought anyway. Some might say that Brannagh therefore had a lot to live up to with Much Ado, his second Shakespeare adaptation. Do I think the film lived up to the expectations? Well I guess that depends upon your motives for watching, for fun? Or like me in an attempt to understand the complicating language and humour found within Much Ado, if the latter sigh no more students, Branagh’s film makes the understanding of Much Ado far easier. If you wanted a nice night in with a film, however, under no circumstance would I recommend this film, plagued with wooden acting, confusing, casting and more over a boring, predictable and somewhat unbelievable plot. Brannaghh’s decision to cast Denzel Washington as Don Pedro, the heroic, noble fighter is somewhat bewildering, considering traditional audiences’ connotations of a black man; however as a contemporary audience we are able to look beyond the colour of Don Pedro’s skin. I however was unable to look...

...A constant theme in many horror movies and poems is the presence of psychological torture. The most sadistic and cruel inflictor of pain is often our own mind, and when someone manages to manipulate us on a mental level, we are at our most vulnerable. Edgar Allen Poe was a master at painting vivid storylines of people going insane with the prospect of their own doom. Hollywood has combined classic fear-inducing plots with gruesome special effects to bring that same mentality to audiences. In the short story by Poe, “The Cask of Amontillado”, the main antagonist effortlessly manipulates and traps his victim. In much of the same way, the gory “Saw” franchise focuses on a madman who sees himself as a vigilante and takes justice into his own hands by torturing his victims on both a mental and psychological level. “The Cask of Amontillado” and the “Saw” movies share the combined use of entrapment, manipulation, and psychological and physical infliction of pain while being at polar extremes in the methods used upon their victims. Entrapment plays an important role in both horror sagas. In the story of the Amontillado, Fortunado is taken deep into the vault. As the two walked deeper down, Fortunado was repeatedly asked if he wanted to turn back “We will go back; you will be ill and I cannot be responsible. Besides there is Luchesi” (Poe), but his pride and vanity drove him on farther into the catacombs in search of the Amontillado. Fortunato was led into a niche where instead of...

...Q.1 Yes, IDEO should accept the Visor project and Mr. Boyle should compel the Handspring management to push the dates of release for producing a killer product. Even though the same team would be spearheading the new project, the customer base and the applications planned for the Visor would be a wider circle. Palm V was intended to appeal to women customer, to ensure operations performed on it was efficiently carried out and to be produced at a size thinner than its predecessor. But the Visor aims to full fill the needs of the gamers, pagers, travellers, music lovers and the like, apart from the day-to-day operations that the Pilot V was depicted for. Hence the time required for the Phase 0 and I would be longer than they took for the Pilot V. The software would also differ now that Visor was to use ROM cards. One major problem for the team would be that they are the ones who already designed the Palm V and it is highly likely that their ideas would be nothing different from those put forth during the brainstorming done for the Palm. Hence it would be preferable to give the team more time to understand the new customers that the product would be catering to. Q.2 IDEO’s success can be attributed to the change that it had adopted in order to enable its employees to think out of the box. It is not a surprise that IDEO is one of the leading designers in the Silicon Valley which is mainly due to the atmosphere provided by the management. The employees are allowed to recreate their...
