I relate the book Land of the Living to the move "V for Vendetta". When Evee is put in a cell by V some of the changes that Abbie encounter are very similar to hers. Evve in the movie is kept as a holocaust victim. Never to see the day light, her head is shaved, and she loses most of herself. Food is minimal. She becomes almost accustomed the the V's ways and becomes friends with him, dancing and talking even watching movies together. Evee has a moment of sanity as she reads the letters pushed back and forth through the cell by a girl who's girlfriend was captured and taken from her. She would soon die. Evee cried when she found that V had written those letters, and there was no girl. She had poured her heart out to someone that was not who she thought. When V released her from the cell she had to live in his house. No going outside to see where it was and no contact with others. Life wasn't easy for her but she grew to like the man who had changed her life so drastically. When Evve cried for her lost life she was like a girl named Kelly who the capture killed in the Land of the Living . She cried every day for her lost life.As though she represents Kelly she represents Abbie in many more ways.
Abbie is around the age of twenty five when she was taken from where? She can't even remember. She lost all memory of the past sixteen days in which she had a cloth bag over her head, a rag shoved in her mouth, and was tied up by her hands and feet. Abbie struggled through those days. She tried all tack tics. She cried under her closed in face. She would give up herself to him. She even fought back at him, physically and verbally. Abbie would do anything to be free. She even tried killing herself. The capture never thought she would be she had nothing anymore. She used to visualize green grass, butterflies, and the sky. After so long that memory faded. She lost all hope she was ready to end it. When she had no fear left in her any more she took the jump with a noose around her neck. To her luck the screw came out of the wall and she was saved.
Abbie and Evee are both people who could have been killed when they first got captured but for some reason their lives are spared. On story was told while the other was to be a secret. One lost more friends through the situation then the other but their appearances both changed and so did personality.Their stories somewhat alike and different both connect on levels that neither can explain in words. it was either to accept change or not to. One chose so and ended on a different road then the other.
We'll see when Abbie ends up, back in the captures arms or on the street still telling her story to her friends and the cops who don't believe a word. Will She be caught again, or will she accept who the capture is and live a life with him as Evve did?
