A SAMPLE THESIS FOR YOUR ESSAY ON BNW

In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World , he employs soma as a symbol to reveal man's escapist tendencies. Through Linda's addiction, he underscores soma's ability to alleviate reality's horrors; in the hospital scene, the government's manipulation of drugs to control it's denizens; and in the church scene, human willingness to compromise morality for social acceptance. Ok, so it is not perfect, but it is working. This one is based on the three by three: ESCAPISM NUMBS HUMANITY...Cody, Farah, and Sarah worked on this one. Now, they will still need a solid hook in their intro, solid transitions that link ideas as they switch from one to the next, well developed evidence with insights as they make their arguments, and a great conclusion that avoids simple restatements. Is this possible??? YES!!! If you need help developing a theme, the three by three is a solid springboard, but you can also check out the links below on theme and symbolism to help you. Remember the theme is also known as THE MEANING OF THE WORK AS A WHOLE... WE WILL BE WRITING MONDAY!!!!
