1. Are there any prominent symbols in the story? If so, what are they and how are they used?
I’m not sure if this sounds too easy, but I think they show that sex can be used as a powerful force and also a force of evil. In the 7th volume they talk about how they turned China into basically a rape camp and made it such a large and powerful country where they repopulated till they were a larger population. I think this actually can relate to how sex can be used still as like a powerful force over people in reality; maybe not turning the entire country into a rape camp, but still how it can take control over people and you can control people with sex.
2. What connections did you make with the story? Discuss the elements of the work with which you were able to connect.
Personally this story reminds me of the Watchmen in some aspects but as far as a personal connection with this story I kind of feel attached to Jenny Sparks. I feel like I just connect with her and it seems she’s the most stressed out and in control of the group and all of the situations that unfold with the terrorism attacks and fights. This character aspect I can relate to in that I feel like with groups I sometimes end up in control or leading and get stressed even though I prefer to be in charge rather than following others.
3. What changes would you make to adapt this story into another medium? What medium would you use? What changes would you make?
As far as changes go to adapt this to another medium I feel like you would need to not have as many characters. The first place my mind goes is feature film but I feel like that’s too easy so the second place I go is animated film or shorts. I think that something like this could be very interesting as a 2D animated short and do well online and on places like Netflix where they actually have some animated tv shows like this. I think the stories are great and the fight scenes and point of view are all great, I just think it would be easier to follow as a short if there were less characters.
