In chapter 2 of Slaughter house 5 the author talks about how Billy Pilgrim was in a fatal plane crash in which he was the only survivor.  Billy Pilgrim started going kind of crazy, it was probably the only way he could cope with things. He started telling everyone how he was abducted by aliens and they took him to their planet Tralfamadore.  Everyone wanted to know why he didn't tell them these stories right after they happened and his only response is because, "..it was too soon."  Billy goes back and forth through different times of his life a lot.  At the end of the chapter Billy time shifts back to being captured by Germans.  I have noticed that the author puts "So it goes" after every bad event.

Chapter 6: GG

I'am kind of confused as to what happens in chapter 6. Gatsby invites everyone (Nick, Daisy, and Tom) over to his party and I got the impression that Tom was a little suspicious and jealous of Gatsby when he notices him and Daisy spending more and more time together. Once everyone leaves, Gatsby talks to Nick about how Daisy didn't like the party but Nick reassures him she had a wonderful time. At the end, it confused me weather or not Gatsby actually kissed Daisy, or if he was just imagining it; ending chapter 6.

March literature analysis: BRAVE NEW WORLD

GENERAL
1. Brave New World takes place in the future sometime after "Ford"  In this world everyone is created in labs in test tubes.  There are no mothers or fathers, or natural aging.  Everything in this world is created to be perfect.  Bernard Marx, one of the higher ranking members of this society, doesn't quite fit in with all the others.  Bernard is not as outgoing and "normal" as the others because he wants to break free from their everyday routines and become his own person making his own rules.  When he meets Lenina Crowne, they decide to take a trip to the Savage Reservation full of what we would consider "normal" human beings.  Mothers, Fathers, children and aging are all completely natural here but to Lenina and Bernard all taboo.  Bernard becomes friends with a savage at the reservation that goes by the name of John.  Bernard soon finds out that John is the D.H.C's son and brings him back to London to show everyone that he had a son.  The D.H.C flees from embarrassment and Bernard becomes highly respected.  John becomes angered with everyone at Brave New World and begins to lash out.  When John tries to keep some of the Deltas from taking their soma it leads to the arrest of Bernard and Helmholtz, and emotional engineer.  Later the World Controller Mustapha Mond exiles Bernard and Helmholtz to an island where John is to be kept in London.  All this pressure of being in the spot light makes John go somewhat insane and it causes him to start to whip Lenina with rage.  After realizing what he had done, he felt horrible and lays lifelessly in his light house.
2. The theme of this novel is that we have to be careful to whom we put in charge.  Letting the government take total control of how we live can seriously affect our lives.
3. The tone of this novel is very dramatic because of the way Huxley describes things in Brave New World
4.  Character: Bernard Marx is one of the main characters in Brave New World.
 Static Character: The D.H.C is a static character because he doesn't change throughout the course of the book.
Dynamic Character: Bernard is also a Dynamic Character because he changes from being a meek outcast to a highly respected man to an outcast again.
Direct Characterization: Lenina was described as "pneumatic" woman.
Motivation: Bernard had motivation for getting John back to London for all the others to see.
Conflict: One of the conflicts in Brave New World was when John started to whip Lenina.
Internal Conflict: Bernard had internal conflict when he struggled to find himself and break free from the others.
Foreshadowing: When Bernard put two and two together of the D.H.C being the father of John we knew he would try to take him back to London.

CHARACTERIZATION:
1. Direct Characterization:  Two examples would be when Huxley describes Lenina as being a pneumatic woman and when he describes the old man at the savage reservation.
 Indirect Characterization: Two examples would be when Bernard was perceived by the other Deltas; different. Another would be how everyone would talk about how everyone has "shared" Lenina, indicating that she gets around.
2.
3. Bernard (the main character) is a dynamic and round character because he does experience changes and we get a good sense of what he looks like by how Huxley describes him.
4. After reading this book I didn't come away feeling close to any character in particular because I couldn't fully engage myself in it.  I found it to be very boring.

Performance for the first day back:

Today I felt a little uneasy going into this essay but in the end came out feeling good about it. Some things could have been better, there is always room for improvement. Hopefully I won't take long for me to get adapted to the whole "going to school" thing again.
