Nikopol trilogy
First I want to say that I enjoyed reading the Gods in Chaos, the Woman Trap and Cold Equotor not more than Sin City but definitely more than V for Vendetta. There isn’t too much talking balloons but there is a storyteller in it. Above the panels there is a box which is black and white letters on it. We learn the story from those words. There isn’t just one storyteller. When reader turns the page s/he can realize that the teller has changed and s/he won’t be confused about it. It is a dark however stunning design, particularly within the second and third stories; the historical irony for instance at the start, a personality thrown into a fascist artistic movement version of his town keep in minds he learned one thing regarding Mussolini at school however does not remember what it had been. Therefore, it's a really sensible take on the hazards of short historical memory. How unconnected is attention-grabbing, weird factors become significant with time- the great thing regarding it's that the manner meaning emerges isn't rational however rather impressionistic (as compared to Alan Moore.)That by the end of the stories, despite the fact that you're undecided specifically what happened, you get a way that you simply felt it happen; in alternative words, it's rather "open" in terms of meaning. The three volumes of the trilogy differ from one another importantly, both in their writing and as Bilal's style developed. More than thinking the stories as mere consequences, each additional chapter talks about and involves the scope of the previous story.

The first chapter called Gods in Chaos, and introduces us to a France overtaken by a regressive fascist party, in negotiations with the gods of the Egyptian pantheon. When a capsule containing a frozen astronaut named Nikopol falls from the space, the future-shocked everyman is possessed by the God Horus. Fighting to retain his free will, Nikopol finds himself swept into the physical and political war of a world he

    One of the most interesting parts about the novel is the way in which it is organized. The book has 42 chapters, each consisting of about 8 to 10 pages, and each telling a different story. While that alone, obviously, does not make the novel unique, the fact that the…

    The book is told in a circuitous way; I found the jumping back and forth in time a bit distracting, but more off-putting was the way Xeones forecasts an event or subplot before narrating it in detail later. Already knowing how Thermopylae turned out, I was hoping for some suspense in the details, but there too Pressfield tells us the end before getting started on the story…

    Elie Wiesel Book Report

    • 818 Words

    The illusion he mention disappearing when they leave the wagon is true. Their fate is a true reality and all hope that this was all ‘never going to happen’ is now gone. When walking towards the crematorium, the babies and adults alike birth being burned instigated the first feelings that how God isn’t as just as he once thought. This makes me think that in some ways people are wrong about the Nazi legacy. While they did inevitably lose the war, they did succeed in somewhat of a larger scale: destroying the idea of the Jewish religion and God’s mighty for some of the prisoners. I also think that Elie Wiesel talked about how his father didn’t show his emotion to his family at all to put into perspective of when he cried, just how unbelievable all this was for Elie. My favorite part of the book so far is the break when Elie talks about the affect seeing the crematorium had changed his view of God. I like it because it shows such a raw emotion and how the Holocaust had put such lasting effect on his life. I wonder how my faith would be after witnessing such horrors. This ordeal makes you angry of how humanity could be so vile and indecent. While Elie talks about how he remained silent when a member of the Kappo hurts his father, it reminds me of how Elie in the preface says that silence was a key to the Jews being abused for so…

    Darl in his chapters is a well-spoken, poetic, clear writer in contrast with his other family members who are incoherent or barely speak. Because of his analyses and descriptions he has become somewhat of the narrator of the book. Darl is intuitive and the most intelligent, sane character in the book: “Rusted, greased-fouled, its cracked chimney smeared on one side with a soaring smudge of soot, it sheds a feeble and sultry glare upon the trestle and the boards and the adjacent earth.” (pg. 75) Darl is also the character that has the most narrative sections in the book.…

    Because most of the present experiences happen within the concentration camps, a lot of their reminiscing is of their family, or friends, people whom they loved or pleasant experiences which made them happy. I find this extremely effective and important. This device helps the reader receive a better picture of emotions and feelings the main character is going through. Not only can we be there for what the character is presently going through, but the author is allowing us to view how they once were, what they once felt. It 's as if the author is showing the reader, "Look, I had what you had, once I was normal, and had a normal life, but now this is my…

    From hieroglyphics to modern communication, imagery and words have always been total opposites, while simultaneously one in the same. Show and Tell, by Scott McCloud, discusses this natural connection one makes between language, imagery, and words and the methods through which comic artists express this connection. The piece appears in his graphic essay Understanding Comics, prompted by McCloud’s experience as a comic artist and reader. Show and Tell specifically intends to educate the reader on graphic novels. Exploring various comic styles, demonstrating the connection between words and imagery and their connection to communication/language. To express his purpose the author exercises four primary rhetorical…

    He didn't seem to like the name of the museum. The “Holocaust” Museum. Just didn't seem right, ya’ know? Like they reduced it to just that and nothing else, he tried to make it seem like his opinion really didn’t mattered, but this was just their history. This was his story. Now he’s just walking alongside her, her with the fair skin that had gentle freckles the sun gave to her every now and then, bright grey eyes that had tinges of subtle brown like oak. Her hair was long, brown, and swift and her voice, sweet. She was lively and short contrasting his mourning eyes, his tall and thick stature, his blunt voice, and his unruly tightly coiled and cotton hair. He was crushing hard, but he knew her head was elsewhere, on one of the other friends…
