okay. so we're suppose to begin composing a thesis....oh boy. i have NO idea where to begin.
wellllll............the first thing that comes to my mind is the lack of individuality and the whole concept of stability and identity.....then out of the blue Bernard Marx just creeps into my mind; maybe because he fascinates me so much. so maybe i could talk about the oppression going on here and like utopias and how they actually don't really work that way i can shove my best buddy bernard marx into the conversation!!!!!!!
mmm. perhaps i can talk about the religious parody; you know the whole Ford vs Jesus type thing. would the agrument of the perception of a "civilized" society vs a more savage like one fit under this....mmm. maybe. wait, does that even make sense?
another thing that i feel could really spark some conversation could be the way BNW and 1984 portray love and the home environment... they are both like complete opposites you know? or even the way they handle emotions and what not... okay i think i'm going to sratch that idea; i don't feel like comparing the two anymore. or maybe..i don't know; there are just SOOO many ways one can go with this essay it's going to be interesting how it all comes together.
so for the texts that i can use as a reference are: obviously postmodernism; that one article in the back of BNW; eh. i guess google will really come in handy in this department....i need to find some legit references, but i think we all do so im alright with that.

Hey Gabby!
Cool blog! Yeah i think you should totally connect Ford vs. Jesus and the Savages vs. civilization. You could argue whether you think our society is more like the civilized people or the savages. Then you connect your idea about individuality and how Bernard is looked down upon for his isolation and whether or not you think this is part of our society Also, you could argue whether or not you believe that we have a God that our world worships or a Ford figure such as politicians or celebrities that our nation idolizes. Your other idea about contrasting 1984 to Brave New World would also make a good essay. I think if about the two books you should also compare as well as contrast the two and then argue which story you think gives a stronger fictitious warning or is more like our world today. You have some really arguments to write about. :) See u tommorrow.
