Brave New World

Answer the questions in correct language and in a written form (except where only “notes” are asked)

Keep a simple log-/scrapbook (WIKI?) while reading the novel!

Stop from time (at least after each chapter) to time to think about what you have read!

Take simple but readable notes (in the WIKI?)

Is there anything that puzzles you? Note down your questions or striking quotations!
Do you find yourself liking or disliking a character? What is it about them that makes you feel so?
Make notes (incl. page, perhaps short quotations?) that you can add to (e.g. use one page per character)!

The scrap book is part of the coursework (==>marked!)

Read chapter I, II and III of the novel over the summer holidays! While you are doing so,

Characterize two characters – one male, one female (round or flat, relation to each other?) ==>Notes!
Collect information on what life was like "before Ford" – that is before this "Brave New World" ==>Notes!
What are the principles/aims of this new society/world?

Each talk includes

2 striking/typical/characteristic quotations + your explanation: what do they tell the reader about the characters involved, the society
1 conflict between characters/their views or between a character and the principles of the Fordian Society
what image/notion/idea and expectation do readers have/get at the end of the chapter and how (quotes) are they led to think so?
find + explain one passage that either is a good example of direct or indirect characterization or typical of the narrative perspective and point of view.
