So, I really didn't want to post until after class today in hopes we would go over V for Vendetta a little more but oh well. I was trying to see if anyone had any other opinions about the use of mouth, nose, eyes, and ears as part of government. I didn't really know if they were trying to point at something deeper or if it is what it is. SO ANYHOW...this story really reminded me of 1984. The whole idea of the government seeing and hearing everything that happens...and then having a omnipresent means of mass communication...was very George Orwell At first, I didn't really think I was going to like the story because I don't really like action comics; I'm more of a Calvin and Hobbes fan. By the end, it wasn't that bad. I felt like really sympathizing with V because of what he had to go through at the concentration camp. Do they ever mention why he was there, by the way? Anyhow, and how he imprisons (emprisons?) her was kind of ingenious.

(btw, my roomie just dropped her towel in front of my other roomie. I have temporarily lost where I was going with my ramblings)

Oh yea, I haven't read completely through the entire book, so a lot of things may become clearer at the very end (I'm on page 205). I'm also kind of curious what V is planning to do at the end. However, I have a question: wasn't he supposed to wait two years for society to fix itself before doing anything major? At least I thought that's what he said. And then according to the dates I've gone through so far, he only waits a year. Is there a reason I don't know about yet? I don't know. Now I'm gonna go read through some of your entries and see if anytbody clears up some thoughts for me.

PS sorry for the personal little blurp with my roomies.
