LIT TERMS APPLIED

The extra time provided during class has helped me tremendously on the lit terms. Even before the actual test I was able to review Brave New World and pick out literary devices used in the text. I feel as if I did decent on this test but could have done somewhat better by studying my own time rather than just class time.

Wrote BNW in just four months & compared with 1984

1931 before Hitler so no reason for dictatorship

1946 forward so social sanity isn't impossibility. Convinced sanity can be achieved

Dangers to threaten sanity may occur in the future

Comercials vs Hypnopedia

Govt can deprive people of freedom. We have to take it with intent. What can we do about it

Looking for a drug to find an escape from self in the 1950s. Focus in the mind

47 books as a writter. Some thought he was better at writing essays

BNWresearch research research!!!!

Wasn't an American citizen.. Passivist because of his religion

First Quarter Review

 a) My work this quarter had been very poor. I fell behind slightly and now playing the catch game. I am proud of myself however for not giving up. On a good note I've been doing better with my vocabulary and my studying habits are improving with the help of the extra time provided in class.

b) Stay on top on assignments
Read read read
Fix up my blog
Work on Senior Project
Don't let anything stop me from finishing next quarter strong

c) The course as it is now is perfect. I especially enjoy the extra time provided to us during class time to work independently and get the feel of a college course environment.
