Brave New World, Parts 1 and 2, Chapter 4; pages 57 – 71.

Please write a brief summary of the chapter, an analysis of the characters, an explanation of the science, the themes, and at least three examples of figurative language.

How to do the figurative language:

Write the quotation

Identify the figurative language

Explain what the quotation is saying and what is revealed by the figurative language.

Homework: What you do not do in class, please finish for homework.

Friday, March 16th: 

Read Brave New World, Chapter Four, Part 1

For homework:

Please read Chapter Four, Part 2, Chapter Five, Parts 1 and 2 to Chapter 6

Please write a brief summary of what you have read. Please use your own words. Do not copy from eNotes!!!!!

Please write a brief character analysis – IN YOUR OWN WORDS!  DO NOT COPY FROM eNOTES! 

Please write any thing you notice about  the character’ behavior that is a result of their conditioning in the World State culture. For example, Lenina’s promiscuity or the fact she hates the color green or the fact she is glad she is not a gamma is a result of her hynopaedic conditioning.

Note interesting character traits; for example, the fact that Bernard Marx is uncomfortable and hurt over Lenina’s promiscuity. Remember that monogamy is actively discouraged in the World State Culture.

Make note of any figurative language you encounter in your reading. Write the quotation in which the figurative language occurs; then describe the effect of the figurative language.

Example:

Page 64; “He was as though suddenly and joyfully awakened from an annihilating dark stupor….He smiled up with a doggily expectant adoration into the faces of his passengers.” This is an example of animal imagery, comparing the lower caste members of the society to animals, which reveals the dehumanizing effects of the Bokanovsky process on the government selected victims.

Please write unfamiliar words and their definition.

Example:

Stupor: (noun) a state of near unconsciousness or insensibility.
