Influenced Thesis
So as the title states im under the influence of some heavy cough medication that im sure is drifting the way i think and or write. So if this stops making sense i'd suggest to stop, rewind life, and delete all of what you have read from your brain. So reading the Dartmouth thesis, and academic write sections Mr. D so gracefully posted i will continue t create something of a thesis i will hopefully be able to extend upon. Right at the beginning of this novel i had questions whirling in my head. The question i will most likely present as my thesis is; How does Huxley defines Happiness within his book Brave New World? How does this defintion reflect what he views upon the current world. How does this reflect to our world? I will extend upon these ideas amoung my own ideas and possibly combine ideas within Postmodernism for beginner to my thesis. I will also use a supplementary text that i picked up this summer From Plato to Nietzsche by E.L. Akkeb within this i will utilize the ideas of Rousseau, Descartes, Aristotle, and Kant. Other thesis's i might explore are where Huxley places our society within those that exists within the novel. Which direction does our society want to head? If Huxley has written this novel in the past as a warning to the future have we heeded this warning or whent completely against this putting into play the bush administration, reagan administration, and obama administration as well as other "first world countries" This academic essay will be slightly different from what i usually write but not necesarrily a whole change around from the preached high school essay, that is taking a side and fighting for it with dignified manner. Well now that my medicine is fully set in i will go wander the world of dreams. See you all tommorrow, you too Mr.D :)

Oh wow, Pavin is under the influence of drugs. So reading this doesn’t matter. Haha. Just kidding, well so far, you are heading into the right way. Good job! For reading the Dartmouth thing. I did not have time to do that myself. Nice question. I later on realize that myself too, and agree with you with that. So go on with it and write about it on your essay. It’s a great idea. Yeah man, just great question. And lots of them too. Nice. Good good with the planning to combine it with Postmodernism. Well, nice idea about using other text to help put insights in there. I like that idea of yours for using that “From Plato to Nietzsche” by E.L. Akkeb. Now I’m looking forward to read your essay, man. Sounds great so far. Oh, yeah the idea about where the society in Brave New World wants to head. Nice, I’ll be waiting to see how it’s going to get done. Well keep it up. I want to see how fantastic the piece of writing will turn out to be.
ReplyDeleteWoooow Pavin, lay off the happy juice man. You can't drink that stuff like Kool-Aid. Its just not good for you. And your such a kiss up, calling Mr. D graceful, you make him sound like a ballroom dancer. I like the proposed question you want to answer. Happiness is not easy to describe by its self, but when you mix in how the Brave New World society bends and distorts what the general idea of happiness is, it makes for a very interesting topic. I think it would be interesting to read about how you think the novel reflects on our world today, and if it is a warning of something in the future, or a warning that can not help us now? And if it is too late to heed the warning, then what can we do to prevent turning into a robotic society like that in BNW? You should consider these questions. :D Stop downing the happy juice!!!
