• The director is not very happy to see Linda and is stunned by the fact he has a son.
• The people in the room laughed at John for saying my father to the director...and all the director could do was stare wide eyed at John

Lit Terms Applied

I must say I did terrible on this test and my lack of study really showed. I wish I didn't have to say that but it's the truth. Now I know I must focus more on quality studying then try to race through something like all those lit terms.

Notes on Brave New World for Foreword/Ch.1

A lot of the questions given on the test were detail oriented which I think wasn't payed enough attention to on my part so I am reviewing and sharing that knowledge from the discussion today.

Opening Statement: "Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment."
Basically he is saying that being regretful is the worst feeling to have.

He felt that regretting the work he had done on Brave New World would mean that he would have to rewrite the book and being a different person as he was when he first wrote the story he would not only get rid of the faults and flaws but also of the great parts it originally possessed. For this reason he did not let chronic remorse affect his story.

He felt the biggest defect in his story was the fact that the Savage was only offered two alternatives which were an insane life in Utopia or the life of a primitive in an Indian village.
The author feels that if he could change that detail he would give the savage a third option which would be the option of sanity!

Setting: Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre (D.H.C.)
A.F. (After Ford ~Symbolism) 632 : This was the year that the story takes place in.

The italics that Huxley uses through chapter one on the story represents the ideas that are supposed to catch the readers attention. Not only that but also the ideas that the students, who are ferociously scribbling away, should/will take away from the lecture tour.

The Greek letters in the story represent the fact that individualism does not exist in this new world. The fact that all humans are categorized into Alpha, Beta, or Epsilon. These categories allow individuals to be filed along with others like a stack of papers.

The idea that the embryos where like the photographic film represents the fact that the embryos can be developed however the creator decides. So whatever mold is given to them is what the embryo will become.

Those or just some notes to help along the way if needed!^^

WRITINGAS5PECTATORSPORT

All of the work I'll be taking a look at and reviewing are from Christa Weston's blog.
Michelle Crosby
~ I didn't see a specific pre-write for that specific essay so that would be my first suggestion. All though it seemed she knew exactly where her train of thought was going you never know when that one little distraction can throw it off. However on the positive side I really like the first paragraph because it shows good understanding of the book chosen.

Mackenzie Greeley
~ I feel there was a lot of great ideas on the paper but.. maybe too many for that one paper. I think separating the pre-write from the general essay writing would have made it somewhat easier to follow and not be overwhelmed just looking at it. But I think the ideas and right approach are all there.

Iliana Gutierrez
~ Even though there is no essay for Iliana I think her pre-write is really awesome! I feel that just having that pre-write would make the process of writing the essay a lot easier. I like the fact that the pre-write is structured in the format her essay will take shape. I'm sure her essay would have been great if the time would have been given.

Elizabeth Hotchkiss
~ As with some of the essays above I would love to see a pre-write! I feel that is the time would have been taken there would actually be the beginning of a great essay. The one that I see now seems to kind of be lost or in many places so I feel that a pre-write would be a great tool for her.

Dr.Preston
~ I actually am happy that even Dr.Preston did one because it just shows the practice of a preacher. I feel that he didn't need to if he didn't want to because he already did all these tests...and obviously passed with flying colors. Anyways I can't really read his writing but I do appreciate his pre-write. It shows his own personal writing style. That is kind of what my pre-write would look like. Although it seems a but disorganized it works to the ability of every person.I think it was a job well done.

Brave New World (1)

Twins? More like 96 of the same person...
Really living up to the motto of Community, Identity, Stability. What better way of achieving this goal then by controlling every possible aspect that makes up a human being. Controlling what life they will take on and putting the origins of the human through all possible trials they will face before they are even born. Being guided through this lab along with the students really gives you a sense of the environment and setting that this lab is. Mr.Foster seems to feels very excited and just like the director feel very positive that this plan and this creation of humans is the right thing. A new world in the future or just in general? Seeing as their is other plants creating about seventeen thousand people in labs in the amount of two years this process would really scare me!
I am however looking forward to what happens further into this story.

First Quarter Review

a)  Evaluate your performance so far this semester by explaining how you've done on required assignments and how you have moved forward on your Sr. Project/BQ/CWG;

For the most part I think I am putting good effort into my assignments but not good enough to get assignments in on time. Do to a lot of health issues this year... well semester I think it has cut into my performance quite a bit but I don't think I should let that be an excuse. Overall I know I can do better and I will especially with my collaborative groups in the page I made with them as well as with the collaborative group for my senior project. 

b) List your goals and expectations of yourself for the next quarter

Next quarter I want to push myself to do everything completely and one hundred percent better. I want to push myself to get everything in on time even earlier. Stop procrastinating and push myself. I slack of and procrastinate to much this semester and I know I need to change that.

 c) Make suggestions for course content/process.

I don't really have any suggestions at the time but I know if something pops up I will definitely let Dr.Preston know and talk to my classmates as well.
