 * =__Recap of //Feed//__=

To recap what has occurred in //Feed //so far, you will create a character web for your adoptive character. This web will need to include not only the people and places that are connected to your character buy how these connections demonstrate concepts of power, dystopia, technology, challenging the status quo and intra-personal relationships between the people and places of the text. After 15-20 minutes, you will present your webs to the whole class (2-3 minutes).


 * =__Introduction to //V for Vendetta//__=

This story depicts a near-future Britain after a limited nuclear war, which has left much of the world destroyed. In this future, a facist party called "Norsefire" has arisen as the ruling power. "V", an anarchist revolutionary dressed in a Guy Fawkes mask, begins an elaborate, violent, and theatrical campaign to bring down the government.

We will have a brief class discussion reviewing the two major ways that we will be viewing this text: dystopian worlds and Marxist Literary Criticism lens.

We will be using the same Marxist literary lens that we applied to Feed to view V for Vendetta. You need to watch this text with a lens of who has power and who want's it. Also, think back to the beginning of this unit and what we discussed regarding dystopian texts. Is this text, indeed, a dystopian text? If so, what qualifies it as such? If not, why not?

You will need to fill out the following sheet (as you did with Feed) but by using V for Vendetta instead.
