Brave New World Yay!!

For my Brave New World essay I am still not sure exactly what I am going to write about, but one thing I know for sure is that sir Ken Robinsons video, it made some very good points on like how society has made kids more like a machine or a conveyor belt and not like life as it should be, because I think that there are some very good points in that video that would make my argument better, and in my argument I will try to say that the world state isn't good and that it takes away too much from what life is supposed to be. Another thing I plan to talk about it or at least reference is the tempest. Because the title of the book is from the tempest so obviously the author must have had the book in mind. Also I see so easy connections to the tempest like the savage thing and how the savage is so mistreated and treated badly just because he is a savage so that is like in both A Brave New World and the Tempest. That is all I have planned right now to write about but I am sure once I start the essay more will come to me. Because there is so much in A Brave New World that really you take from anything and I think that there is a lot of things to talk about how they try to make life like a machine and I think that is what I will base a big part of my essay on. Maybe I will talk a little bit about 1984 and like how in 1984 they try to control every aspect of peoples lives just like they do in Brave New World.

  1. Okay. You've got a lot of ideas here, so make sure and narrow it down to one before you begin writing. If you try to do everything, it tends to dilute your argument. Try to focus in on one idea and explore it fully.
