For the final Brave New World journal. I would like you to create three questions: two related solely to BNW that pose open-ended questions about the text as a whole that are not definititvely answered in the text (think theme, why the author did something a specific way, purpose of the ending or the fate of different characters, what he is saying overall about this kind of society, etc.). The final question should be about both 1984 and Brave New World as a whole dealing with similarities/differences in the approaches to the utopian idea, the possibility of these state coming to be, the choice of protagonists, the fears of the authors, etc.
Please don't pose a questions straight from the prompt. For example, "What are the similarities and differences between Orwell's utopian ideal and Huxley's?" Instead, use those as a jumping off point to give me something more specific and creative.
Enjoy some Sigur Ros http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xow2gnVTUjs . I always imagine this music to be playing in Brave New World. It is sung in a made up version of Icelandic that is both beautiful and perplexing at the same time. The video is fantastic, with the music over top of a special needs theatre group performing a play about the elements with the music as the backdrop. If your immaturity will not allow you to watch the video without laughing turn it off (and I feel sorry for you).
