Brave New World (I)

Oh, boy, I almost forgot to post again. I really, really should write down my assignments in more than one place.

• The intro is a little reminiscent of 1984 (building description, mottoes, so on)
• "Community, Identity, Stability"
• c.1/p.1: imagery, personification, simile
• c.1/p.2: enter Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning, Fertilizers, new students
• callow--immature or inexperienced
• cliche (horse's mouth), direct characterization
• year "AF 632"
• p.4: "Bokanovsky's Process"
• viviparous--bringing forth living young rather than eggs, as most mammals and some reptiles and fishes
• p.8: enter Mr Foster
• p.9: onomatopoeia
• p.11: "And in effect the sultry darkness into which the students now followed him was visible and crimson, like the darkness of closed eyes on a summer's afternoon."
• metaphor, simile
• p.14: cutting short the oxygen of certain embryos for lower classes
• p.16: predetermining behavior (futures) with temperature conditioning, rotation
