MASTERPIECE PICS

Working on my masterpiece = hiking. Not complaining.

Here's a couple pictures of my progress so far! 

BRAVE NEW WORLD- LITERARY TERMS

Figurative language

Restatement

Juxtaposition 

Irony 

Dichotomy 

Symbolism 

Reification- when we take an abstract object and present it with something tangible to make it relatable to the audience 

Fragmentation- breaking apart something that is whole into pieces; makes it harder to relate

Schema- the mental structures that we create that organize our thinking 

"Those who meant well behave in the same way as those who meant badly" 

BRAVE NEW WORLD

In society, conformity is seen as the only way to survive. In Audis Huxley’s Brave New World, Bernard struggles with this concept as he sees the flaws within his society. It is this inner battle that gives the work its central message. We, as society, cannot obtain perfection without the loss of our humanity. Huxley uses the inward questioning of Bernard and John as the example of society destroying those who fail to conform. Through John and Bernard, Huxley is able to show that in a utopian society we will lose our selves as individuals as we conform to fit into society’s shackles.
