During the break, I went out and obtained a copy of Island and a copy of Brave New World, both by Aldous Huxley. I've begun reading Brave New World, which is all about a dystopian society. This week, I plan on reading and annotating Brave New World and brainstorming possible ways of connecting it with dystopian texts that I've read in the past such as 1984 and A Clockwork Orange. Using these connections, I'll begin my research paper. I already have three book sources. I still need a couple more. I'll probably find a criticism or two to support my essay.

This week:

-Continue reading Brave New World

-Brainstorm ideas for the research paper

-Find criticisms to support these ideas

-If I'm far enough into Brave New World, I will begin writing the paper. If not, next week I will be.
