Huxley response.

Brave world is basically an entire book written about his fears of what the world will soon become. His theory on the growing population is making our freedom slowly diminish Is causing I will do slowly slipping to a dictatorship instead of a democracy is it semi-true and we have kind of gone into that area of government slowly but not as fast as he seems to think we should have. He says that dictators will most likely become the most dominant form of government because people like Hitler are strong and were able to gain control using propaganda and ideas that are generally understood but with smart people come ways in which we can escape and we are slowly starting to climb out and we know what we want to do don't performing it. this book is about his entire fear of what he thinks this will become. However we are in no way becoming like the world that I have seen to be reading about this entire time I do not see as programming people later on through listening to tapes while people sleep in that's how we teach them that part seemed off but he Syrian the video seemed a little bit more on the nose is far is slowly slipping into a dictatorship.

Literature Analysis "Anna Karenina"



• Anna Karenina is mainly about characters being married to guys that they are unfaithful for. Every relationship that takes place in the book has the female married to a man that they want a divorce from, or in Anna's case, is cheating on. Anna doesn't receive a divorce and vomits suicide. He husband Levi starts questioning the meaning of life and figures out life is what he makes it.
• The theme of the story is life can be molded into whatever you can envision.
• The authors tone is desperateness. When Anna is pleading for a divorce so much that she commits suicide be aide she doesn't get it. Nikolai becomes ill and lays on his death bed as Kitty comforts him. Nikolai is desperate for love and affection in his last days. Lastly, when Levin is in search for a meaning to life.
• The author uses a tone that describes how the characters feel during time a of adultery and divorces which brings a connection between characters and reader. Sometimes the author uses direct characterization to describe a character, so he can pull right back to the main point of the scene. He also uses indirect characterization to describe some characters in terms of the romantic side, and there feeling of how there wife's have been acting. On thing the author seemed to emphasize is irony. He used this to display the usefulness of certain characters in given situations.
• Sometimes the author uses direct characterization to describe a character, so he can pull right back to the main point of the scene. Also the feelings of different characters are sometimes partially described directly to achieve a simple basic connection, but when he attempts to bring a deeper meaning behind a characters reactions or feelings, it is sometimes described indirectly. He also uses indirect characterization to describe some characters in terms of the romantic side, and there feeling of how there wife's have been acting. (Same as right above)
• The authors syntax and diction doesn't change much between character and descriptions, the main difference I would see, was the approach in describing each character in ways to make them appears more real to the reader.
• Main character is flat and static. She doesn't change at all. I fact she is so into her adultery and love for another man that she commits suicide because she is denied access to that man.
• I did not feel like I actually knew the character. Mainly because a block came up for me because I disagreed with a lot of Anna's actions so much though that I rejected the opportunity to understand the characters beyond the page.

Brave New World (1)

Reading the beginning of the book, the biggest thing that I notice is that it really set up a world that seemed pretty, tough. The world was described as something that sounded gloomy and painful. The things that we should find meaningful, like the word "mother" was describe horrifically, it made me expect to see "Brave" really expressed later on in the book.
