Conflict: The Watchmen
Conflict: The Watchmen In the Book The Watchmen tells a tale of a world on the brink of a nuclear war engineered by one man Adrian Veidt, whom comes in to conflict with his former team of masked heroes who would and do plan to stop him. Veidt in spite the consequences will stop at nothing to achieve his goal of world peace. This includes the killing of half of New York city. And proving that no matter how much you manipulate something the outcome will eventually be the same.

Adrian Veidt is the smartest man in the world. He realized three years before killing half of New York city that the world would never reach world peace at the direction it was going with all the advances in technology and politics. He needed to strategically take all of his former teammates away from the equation. He did this because they were the only potential threat to his plan of eventual world peace.

First Veidt Taking out the Comedian; the first person to realize his goal and also the person most likely to stop him from destroying his way of life. The Comedian had this sense of truth to him because he didn't care for the conventional "all American" image. He understood that the world was a cold and cruel place. Those that understood that were the ones that would survive. The very thought of world peace destroyed his entire way of life. It was only natural that Viedt murder him first because the Comedian had the most to loose.

Second was the perfect man Jon, whom was made of pure existence. Jon was also the United States only blockade against outside countries willing to over throw them with nuclear weapons. So basically Jon represented the only block between a war, take him out and tension will arise.

Next he framed the only active member of his former team still at large, Rorschach for murder and thus taking out the person most likely to put pieces together and discover something wrong, and of coarse Rorschach did put them together. Before being framed for murder and disobeying

    Sexual Assault was not a well-established topic until the 1970’s when victims of assault started to come forward with their stories. The media played a huge part in reliving the victim’s stories and drawing forth the emotions and empathy of the public. It also played a fragment in the victim shaming and blaming because most did not believe that a survivor of sexual assault was telling the complete truth of their assault. The most well established part of mass media that tells the victim/survivor’s story in a more empowering way is movies.…

    Levin captures his readers' attention with his discussion of three hypothetical scenarios. The first, the dramatic case of the atomic bomb hidden in Manhattan, he acknowledges to be an extreme example, unlikely to occur in real life. However, he argues, the conclusions drawn from this first scenario can be extrapolated to more realistic ones, such as his second scenario, the terrorist hijacking of an airplane with a bomb.…

    Throughout this course, the class has been given the opportunity to read some very real, testimonial works which allow readers to empathize with the authors. Some of these works have given me a new and literal understanding of history. The two stories that have personally affected me the most are, “The Watch,” written by, Elie Wiesel and “Warring Memories,” by, Kandi Tayebi. Both of these stories are told in a very unique way and give the reader a deeper perspective. The first is told from one's personal experience and the second is a story which gives one perspective through secondary eyes. Both of these stories have an explicit depiction of history that is not learned in a textbook and I feel they should be part of the literary canon. People of all ages need to be aware of tragedy and growth from a personal stand point and not rely completely upon media sources and textbooks that only deliver a version of the truth.…

    It is hard to describe how good Watchmen is. It is important not to ignore Watchmen because it is a comic. Watchmen is a great mystery thriller, analytical read, political commentator, and comic satire all in one. And it shocks the reader from beginning to end. Starting with the words: ‘Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face.' The reader is dragged into the demented world of Rorschach, the introductory vigilante hero. Watchmen is character driven and has an intense, complex plot, the entire story relating back to one, insignificant seeming scene. The use of the graphic…

    The Watchmen begins at the scene of the crime. Edward Blake, who was pushed off of the balcony of his apartment, is being investigated by two policemen. They discuss how Edward must have been approached by one large men, or two men because he is so big himself. Once the policemen leave, Rorschach drops a visit to see what had happened. Rorschach, the protagonist in the story, investigates the scene of the crime briefly to discover the Comedian suit in the closet. Meanwhile, Dan Dielgberg, a former crime fight named Nite Owl, shares the night with another retired partner in the investigations as they discuss the old days.

Rorschach explains to Dan what he saw and the two head down to the Workshop in Dan’s basement.
