I related parts of this story to a cartoon that used to air on Saturday mornings: "Recess." When it comes to the Vigils, they reminded me of a group of students that ruled the playground in the cartoon. They would have different servants to take care of different tasks (assignments) during recess. I used these visuals throughout my reading of this story. ----->Below are some pictures of the characters in the show. The second picture is the title of the movie that they made, it fits the "Disturbing the Universe" piece. Saving the World One Playground at a Time, suggests the overtaking of power from the teachers and putting it in the hand of the students. The students in The Vigils are trying to do the same thing.
As far as the assignments throughout this story, they remind me of another cartoon character, Bart Simpson. I appologize for using cartoon characters to convey my thoughts, but I couldn't help but think about these fictitious people while reading this story. In the cartoon The Simpsons, Bart is constantly getting into trouble by doing things to his principal, Seymour Skinner. I related The Vigils actions towards Brother Leon to how Bart treats Skinner.----> Below are pictures of Bart Simpson and Principal Skinner.
Once again I appologize for having to relate this book to cartoons but that is what immediately popped into my head. I plan on reading the remainder of this book in the next day or two and plan on adding to this blog when I am finished.
P.S. I hope this is what I was supposed to do
