Twenty-one years after Brave New World was published, Aldous Huxley wrote the following:
"Those who merely know about things, or only think they know,
live in a state of self-conditioned and culturally conditioned
somnambulism. Those who understand given
reality as it presents itself, moment by moment, are wide awake."
-Aldous Huxley, Knowledge
& Understanding (1952)
Is this quote consistent with Huxley's theme/tone/syntax in Brave New World, or does it represent an evolution in his thinking and/or writing style? Support your answer with at least three literary elements you've studied on the lit terms list.
AGENDA:
1. Journal (extended)
2. Lit terms final preview
3. A word about writingas5pectatorsport
HW:
1. In a post on your blog entitled WRITINGAS5PECTATORSPORT, review five (minimum) of your colleagues' videos and artifacts (i.e., pre-writes and first paragraphs). Act as coach and suggest what they should start, stop, and/or continue in order to improve. Compare their performance to yours-- what are you motivated to start, stop, and/or continue in your own approach? Please include a link to each performance you review.
