John+the+Savage



=What do we do with John the Savage?= First, check out this really dated cover of Brave New World. Look at the cover script. The two who escaped it??? Who is this artist talking about? Who escaped? Perhaps he should have read the book.

Assignment: This assignment is worth 25 points. This is no ordinary post. Organize your argument and post it as though this was a one page min/max because this is how the assignment will be graded. You will receive a post from me in return with your grade.

Post your reaction to the very famous character, John the Savage. Pay special attention to the ending scene. I'm looking for a well developed 1/2 page posting on a well developed idea that you have that accomplishes two goals. For one, demonstrate your knowledge of John the Savage. Second, in your discussion, draw in some of the major themes or discussions from our year (characters of conflicts from other books, the topic of 'centering' etc.).

Here are some ideas. Explain his decision. Identify any symbolism that you can see in this scene. Why does this scene impact the reader? Is this the ending your anticipated? What is Huxley's intention? What have critics said about this final scene? SO many great ideas. Have fun!!!
