Topic: Beauty
Theme:
The author argues that beauty is fame and money. Also to show how the lady feels about herself threw the mirror and what she sees in it.

Evidence:
juxtaposition (side by side) girl next to bubble that says  " The queen was wearing a suit of peach silk". She's comparing herself with the queen and looks down at her own dress knowing shes noting compared to the queen.

" ...And that is the face of London tonight. We remind you that tomorrow is the final date for the completion of your census forms" At this point the lady stares at herself in the mirror and her face expression shows that shes really not happy about herself. She's terrified towards what she sees and doesn't like what the mirror is showing her. so what does the mirror really symbolize?

EQ: To what extent are we controlled or influenced by others?

CUEVAS: What about the juxtaposition of the girl and the unknown character at the bottom of the page??? Both in front of a mirror, reflections reveal what?......????!!!

Theme: The author implies that justice has no meaning  without any freedom.

Evidence: " You no longer are MY justice..." / "... she has taught me more as a mistress than you EVER did..." / " SHE has taught me that justice is meaning less without freedom." - Stated in image # 2 and 3.

Image Analysis: In panel 9 diversity is used to represent the mans new intentions with new found phylosiphy. This panel also has emphasis to stress the differences of light and used which stands for good vs evil. This the man is neither good or evil, he is neutral.

EQ: Is justice really worth for the price of freedom? If so what is the meaning of justice itself?

Topic: Hope
Theme:The topic of our page is hope. The author argues that hope is the topic of this page because he rescues the lady from (corrupt) cops.
Evidence: The savior recites Macbeth the while he saves the young lady. "Like valours minion, carved out of his passage till he faces the slave" This suggests that the corrupt government will control the lower class society with oppression.
EQ: Why would he save the poor from policemen?

CUEVAS: What is he arguing ABOUT hope, though?? And your EQs are on the annotations handout for Maus....

topic: identity
Theme: The author makes the hero hide his identity with a mask so he can have  a heroic symbol and doesnt reveal his mysterious identity to the woman
Evidence: "who are you".
"Me? Im the king of the twentieth century. Im the bogeyman. The Villan."
"the black sheep of the family."
The image shows him not wanting to provide more of a normal person to the lady. I feel it shows the "hero" as an actual hero not wating to have a normal appearance, wanting people to see him as supe

EQ : Does identity really matter

CUEVAS: But what is the author claiming about identity? What is the author saying about identity? Instead of saying something like: Litzy broke Marcela's heart when she didn't greet her on her way to the bathroom. You want to say: Litzy's lack of acknowledgment for Marcela suggests that gastrointestinal systems (topic) are the true masters of human beings, forcing us to exchange our principles and values for a porcelain bowl (theme). That way, instead of talking about people's actions, you are talking about ideas. And when you talk about ideas, you is honoring your brain's highest function.

topic: mystery
theme: The author's suggests that the topic is mystery because of the Leader and the another men trying to figure out who is the man behind the mask and caused the explosion.
evidence: "Mr.Heyer will speak for the eye... Mr. Etherloge will now speak for the ears... Mr. Almond at the finger... Mr. Finch will speak for the nose..."
Images: shades are dark, and the shadows are big and bold. The mood is serious, dark, and suspicious.

EQ: What does the mystery do to effect the reader and the scene?

Topic: Fascism
Theme: The author argues that adam susan believes that himself and the nordic people can control or have complete power over uneducated people from low income success.
Evidence: "Leader of the lost, Ruler of the ruins" and "I lead the country that I love out of the wilderness of the twentieth century. I believe in survival. In the destiny of the nordic race. I believe in fascism"
Images Analysis: The author uses value and intensity in box number 7 . He makes Adam Susan look more pitch-black which may represent that he's more vile.
EQ: To what extend does power dictate morality?

CUEVAS: Keep in mind that ADAM SUSAN is NOT an ABSTRACT topic. This is not an IDEA, this is a character. From your theme, it sounds more like your topic might be power or ignorance.

Evidence:
*  In the background for one of the picture. There was a poster that sad " Strength Through Purity Purity Through Faith" .
*the cop says "you've got it wrong miss. you'll do anything we want and then we'll kill you, That's our prerogative" this is showing that the cops abuse their authority and power on citizens.

Evidence: " You no longer are MY justice..." / "... she has taught me more as a mistress than you EVER did..." / " SHE has taught me that justice is meaning less without freedom." - Stated in image # 2 and 3.

Topic: Freedom
Theme: The author implies that when you have freedom, you are not actually free, even if you are the one controlling it.
Evidence: "Should I allow them that freedom"/ "She has no eyes to flirt or promise, but she sees all, sees and understands..."/ "I worship her, though I am not worthy."
Image Analysis: Panel 3 The man has more value and darker intensity onto his face to add more suspense, which means that he is a character that has a lot of power to actually control the community. (In this case, power means the ability to control freedom and dictate.) Throughout all the panels he is seen as a figure of authority since he is respected, saluted, and overpowering.
EQ:  Is freedom at a cost? To what extent do we control our choices?

Topic: Power
Theme: The author suggests the topic is power due to the government controlling their citizens with false information. The author argues that it's common for power to lead to rebellion which comes from fear.
Evidence: The government uses their advantage in high power to brain wash people into thinking they care about their safety when in reality they're trying to make them do whatever they want. For example the panel where they zoomed in on the camera and the sign that says "for your protection" makes the characters believe the government cares about their safety.
EQ: To what extent are we controlled or influenced by others?

Topic: Justice
Theme: The author implies that justice has taken the side of war rather than peace, the side of the soldier rather than the civilian.

Evidence:

panel 7, bottom right bubble: V argues that justice has cheated on him (a civilian) with the soldier, implicitly stating that she is defending war rather than protecting the peace of the people

The dark colors, shadows, and heavy lines give off a dark and solemn atmosphere, further emphasizing V's disappointment in Madam Justice.

EQ: How does silence perpetuate violence?
