February 28

JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "C'mon Get Happy" by the Partridge Family; "The Dope Show" by Marilyn Manson; "Don't Worry Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin]

If you compare it with the headlines, Brave New World can be a depressing, even shocking reminder that society appears to be going awry.  So why do so many people regard it as such a brilliant novel?  Why have generations of high school students been required to read about sex play and blank, staring, anesthetized adults engaged in the pursuit of pseudo-happiness?  Is there a silver lining to this dystopian Modernist literature?

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Read chapters 4- of Brave New World
and/or
3. Lit terms 

HW:
1. Study.  Your.  Lit.  Terms.
