Brave New Essay Topic

So I finally got a essay topic that relates to our society and in the society in Bernard s' world. This essay topic can go on taking a side on one of these societies or just to compare it, whatever you think is more fun. Now what I am thinking is, "How is Bernard s' society better than ours?" You can go with it or against it (or like I said before compare them together.) Lets just say that both of our worlds are in the same dimension, same land. What place do I want to pick? How will I be able to answer this?
The way I would answer this is by honestly making this a little more interesting and make me into a brainwashed beta in the "Brave New World" society and say on how better it is than the one on the other side. How twisted and weird those other "humans" (as they call themselves as) and how great it is to be a Beta in this city with a perfect society and a wonderful leadership,  no chaos on who is taking control. Just all betas working together without "questioning" their trust in others.
That is honestly a essay I would be looking forward to.

Literature Analysis #1

The Great Gatsby

1) In the novel The Great Gatsby, this book had a lot of reflection on the American Culture, but in a story with the narrator Nick Carraway, cousin of a Daisy Buchanan, who married Tom Buchanan a former football star, and Jay Gatsby. With Nick talking to a lady in a party and gossiping about The Great Gatsby and his "secrets" that were over-exaggeratedly false. The book is about a mysterious man named Gatsby who lives in the top of his mansion, makes parties every night, but never shows up in the party. Nick meets him and meets a whole new world, he meets Gatsby and his real self behind all of the gossip and stories about him that were never true, F. Fitzgerald really showed a great reflection of the american culture/american dream. He confuses wealth with corruption, because in his time it was a time of being rich is the best thing that could ever happen.

2.)  The theme to this novel is feeding the social satisfaction (witch will never be satisfied)

3.) He thought of the new America as naive and blind, naive because everyone in the party were all partying for escape of problems that have been going on in their live. So they get drunk and start doing stuff people tell them to do. They Blind part is for people who are gossiping and talking about someone without knowing them is just blind of them to do so.

AP PREP POST 1: SIDDHARTHA

•  1971. The significance of a title such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is so easy to discover. However, in other works (for example, Measure for Measure) the full significance of the title becomes apparent to the reader only gradually. Choose two works and show how the significance of their respective titles is developed through the authors’ use of devices such as contrast, repetition, allusion, and point of view.

Lit. Analysis #2

To kill a Mockingbird

1.) This book was about two kids getting used to a town full of racism and imagination. These two kids were living in the Great Depression and the way they lived was a bit harsh, still their father was a very confident man/lawyer. Her father taught her lessons about how she shouldn't talk about anybody if she hasn't been in their shoes. In the book she learns about life, and how to treat others.

2.) Racial prejudice was part of the theme of To Kill a Mockingbird and also superstition can lead to injustice.Like when Aticus had to become a lawyer for this African citizen who was framed of raping and hurting a white girl.

3.) It's really serious and curious, like when Aticus was with the family of the framed man, they welcomed him with open arms and everyone was being human, until the white man who framed him came up to Aticus and called him a "Nigger lover" that was a serious thing that the author's tone was saying that racism can be really serious. And as for curious the two kids were very curious characters of the story when it came to the "Boo Ralley" conspiracy.

Literature Analysis #1

1)  Sophie's World is a book about a 14 year old girl named Sophie Amundsen, suddenly she got a letter that started the whole story, the letter had written it it , "Who are you?". This bothered her the next day that came. As she learns that she is taking a philosophy course through the letters, she finds out something really unexpected. She is much more important that she would've ever guessed. I think the authors purpose for the book was to be curious at all times because life is full of surprises that can come unexpected, and also give us a insight of a philosophy course in college.

2) The theme is basically your first class of philosophy.

3)It was really uplifting when I was reading the letter that hit a crucial statement about how life is so wonderful and how it is just amazing is is to just figure things out.
