INTRO The basis for all dystopian texts is the instability, anxiety and fears that occur within the respective times of their authors. The sole purpose of these texts is to act and serve as a medium for authors to communicate and represent their comments and ideals on these fears and anxieties to their audiences. Authors who are able to express and organise certain techniques within their texts, ensure that their messages are received clearly and without ambiguity. George Orwell’s novel 1984 and James mcteigue’s film V for Vendetta both strongly and effectively communicate their messages to their audiences with clarity. Between both authors it is debatable whether which of these authors has more effectively relayed their messages ORWELL * Both composers represent the immense fears and anxieties of their respective times within their texts through a variety of ways, * Orwell uses a diverse and signature range of language techniques, and symbols to represent his vital message of warning to the audience of the dangers of totalitarian governments/ regimes and the perversion within communist and fascist parties.

Sanity over Passion. What one says, thinks, or hears bears no significance if it is not delivered nor received properly. Ideas are given meaning by how carefully their words are crafted together to leave the most lasting impact; it is their rhetoric that persuades an audience to believe that what they are hearing is significant. The story within Into the Wild is one that is significant because of how effectively Jon Krakauer took Chris McCandless’s adventures and relationships and made them relate to the reader. Krakauer used many rhetorical strategies to create appeals to logos, ethos, and pathos in order to develop the ideas and themes found in his novel.

The authors of these writings are able to capture readers by utilizing characterization, rhythm, rhyming, metaphors, or a fairytale setting throughout their storyline. It is imagination that sanctions the reader of these literary forms to be able to mentally visualize what the author would like the reader to visually perceive by use of symbolism or descriptive wording. In the poem “The Road Not Taken” (Frost, 1916) or the short story “Used to Live Here Once” (Rhys, 1976) – there is a dominant theme, no matter what self-contained journey we find ourselves on, we the readers are the ones who determine how the journey ends.

Emerson states that a man to become an individual must question every orthodox belief that he faces and must decide what he believes to be true, not what society thinks to be true. Emerson writes in this persuasive rhetoric to try and convince the reader of the potential dangers of conformity as society will harm the individuals. "Society everywhere is a conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members." Emerson states that man must be self-reliant and trust themselves in order to be an individual. "Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string."
Having an imagination is necessary to get deeper in the story, and a good memory is also required to tie the pieces of the story together. And of course an artistic sense to appreciate the beauty of the author’s writing. Nabokov states “Since the master artist used his imagination in creating his book, it is natural and fair that the consumer of a book should use his imagination too.” The reader needs to also understand and appreciate the language used by the author. He needs to pay attention and notice the details in a novel and not just the general storyline. He needs to read with an open mind regardless of other people’s judgment of the novel.
