The Secret of Kells Essay Alexandru Munteanu

        Brendan's uncle was very protective of Brendan. He was afraid of Brandon going outside the walls and being harmed. He knew that there was going to be an attack by the viking and if Brendan went outside he could be caught by them. As long as he could keep Brandon inside the walls, Brandon would be safe. He had to make sure that the wall would be finished quickly in order to make sure that the village would be safe.
        Brendan helped Aidan with the book because he wanted to know more about what was beyond the walls that were protecting him.The book was also the only book they had. Brendan had never seen a book or ink before and getting a chance to write was a new opportunity he had never gotten before.
        The book brings light into darkness when people see its pictures. In the lives of the people living inside the walls they is only darkness as they are always afraid of being attacked by the vikings. When they see the book they get a chance to see the the good side of the outside world.
        Throughout the entire movie there is staging used in the background such as the trees in the forest and the walls surrounding the village. Exaggeration seems to be used in some of the characters as they may seem too short or too tall. The entire animation seems to be made up of images layered on top of each other in order to create a more 3D look.
