Monday+-+Divided+We+Fall



1. I feel as though these covers are great in terms of elements and principles each in their own unique way, __Divided We Fall__ has great scenery as a result of space, movement and Unity, __The Great Gatsby__ has the texture, color and value, while __Of Mice and Men__ has emphasis, line and contrast.

2. __Divided We Fall__ has red and blue typography which goes along with the storyline, it also has a modern or even futuristic background which s intriguing to the intended audience, young adults. __The Great Gatsby__ has the roaring 20's feel with the typography as well as the overlooking eyes shedding a tear which plays a big role in the story. __Of Mice and Men__ has sketched looking typography, making it look incomplete which represents the story itself, the farmhouse in the silhouette of a rabbit symbolizes the desired outcome in the story.

3. Each cover is designed to represent the story the book tells as well as appeal to the reader __Divided We Fall__ is utterly intriguing showing the U.S. Capitol building under attack, __The Great Gatsby__ has the same affect, but in a different way. The cover is so bizarre it makes you want to read it just so you can understand the cover. __Of Mice and Men__ is just visually satisfying and makes you want to rip open the book and read it as quickly as possible.


 * Synopsis:**

I am Danny Wright I had the perfect high school life, I was the star football player, dated the prettiest girl in school and even enlisted in the National Guard to get my college paid for. All of that was thrown away when civil unrest was brought about and I was called in to control a riot in Boise. All of that spun out of control when I had to decide between following the orders of my President or following the orders of my Governor. I am Private First Class Daniel Christopher Wright. I am seventeen years old. And I fired the shot that ended the United States of America
