Ask me no question, I'll write you a thesis

Theme
  • Those who don't conform are the only ones who can see conformists not making choices
Once the class looked at the question and we kind of created our own outline in our head, that was when we were more ready to write. If we had sped read the question them jumped into writing, we would have missed opportunities to answer the question well. We were all thinking of using examples, but without getting our theme down, our examples couldn't be used to prove our point. By analyzing the question, we were able to avoid one of the traps the AP test has which is the time limit. By sacrificing some time to give the AP reader what they really want to hear, the essay can be written with much more purpose and impact.

Brave New World highlights the issue of an inner and outer self, even though only a few characters can actually see this. Something John, an unconditioned "savage" is able to see is that not everyone is okay with how life in the new world is going. Some are having conflict but are having a hard time showing that on the outside, when their inside is so much like their outside, imprinted with lessons of the controlling world they live in.
