V for Vendetta blog post: due March 9th

Here's your last blog writing assignment this quarter.
I'd like you to put down responses in two different registers to V for Vendetta.
First, I'd like you to react to thematic elements. In particular, what do you think about the way the novel presents resistance and revolution to change society? Does it make a convincing case? Convincing for some but not all of V's ideas and methods? Why or why not??
Second, I'd like you to select one or two passages where the graphic novel format seems really effective. Yes, we all like books with lots of pictures in them, but historically this is part of what has held back comics from being taken seriously. However, now people are thinking that there is some really significant opportunities through the form of text and pictures. Where did the pictures really make the story more engaging or make you slow down and pay attention to the images instead of just whipping through the text?
350-400 words.
