Fahrenheit 451
The graphic novel shows a large part of the emotional factors while it’s telling the event. The use of the dark and light colors clearly express the emotion from the picture. The dark colors represent some negative emotions and stories, and the light colors normally show the beating of the flame, which means the destruction and regeneration. In a world, the whole book manifests a strong and intense feeling, which shows a feeling of burning all.

Lydia, I like the fact that you tried to really capture the meaning behind 451's color scheme. I thought you've made some interesting points including bright colors showing the "beating of the flame". You then go on to say it means destruction in which I fully agree. I think the author tries to relate bright colors as something negative vs. the stereotypical version of dark colors meaning bad or evil. With this concept, he puts an interesting twist to the graphic depictions of this novel. These bright colors also have to do with the unusual sound affects as well. I haven't quite figured out his reasoning for this, have you?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lydia, "the dark color represant some negative emotions" which is the whole novel's idea. In the book, people try to hide their book in every places to protect them. But when the dark pages show the police people come to search the books, that's other people's nightmare.
