The Book Thief And V For Vendetta

Improved Essays
Within my visual representation, I have implemented an array of techniques in order to convey the comparative contextual values in both The Book Thief, and V for Vendetta. My poster features a young male looking into a mirror, and perceiving his own reflection. However the mirror itself is split evenly in half representing the dualistic nature of mankind; ‘brutality versus beauty’. On the left of the image, the concept of brutality is I believe being successfully portrayed, as through the figurative representation of the apes at the bottom of the cliff, looking up at the totalitarian figure, clearly exhibits the contextual value of equality. The use of anthropomorphism transforms the people/citizens of a fascist government into apes, effectively

    Collier is saying that love is not easy, and not worth it if it is not real. Based on the the text “The Chaser” he would agree with the quote, “The only thing worse than a boy that hates you: a boy that loves you.” by Markus Zusak from The Book Thief. I think he would agree because the way he portrays Alan it shows he thinks that love is annoying and hard to deal with when you do not love the person back and they want to make you love them but you just do not want to.…

    My favorite book “The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak is very different from “The Grapes of Wrath” but they both follow familiar themes. “The Book Thief” is about a family living in Germany during the Holocaust, although they are not jewish they take in a jewish man hiding from Nazi soldiers. As the book continues they survive off of each other and friends to keep going, as so did the Joad Family. In “The Grapes of Wrath” while traveling to California they had many bumps in the road that took a lot of bravery to overcome. Without the family's bravery in both books they wouldn't have been able to make it through the hard times.…

    The main examples are the Jews being represented as mice and the Nazis being represented as cats. Mice are seen as weak, quiet, meant to be exterminated, forced to run and hide, and seen as vile or dirty. This is exactly how the Nazis viewed the Jews. The Nazis saw the Jews as less than human so the metaphor makes sense, but the cat comparison to the Nazis also fits perfectly. Cats are seen as vicious predators, cunning, stealthy, hunters, and cold blooded.…
