Blog 3 - Enos

My favorite book that was turned into a film production was actually a graphic novel called watchmen. I was never really into comics and felt that superhero motived works of literature were rather childish however this novel was more or less about normal individuals attempting to act as vigilantes and act where the black and white of the law doesn't reach. In this grey area the characters act for the good of humanity even though as people they are as imperfect as the criminals they try to imprison. The reason why this graphic novel is my favorite it that truly reflects the human condition and the purpose of the text and visual references further allusion to deeper meanings of the human race. I found that it's in the science fiction novels that authors outcast the trends and characteristics of our race and often the books allusion to the consequences of our actions as a curious yet inconsiderate species.
