Please comment.
This is NOT the final thesis so please make any suggestions or remarks, things I did good or things I need to change!
P.s. I used Wecker's two sentence thesis idea.
Huxley uses word choice, symbolism and contrast in Brave New World to demonstrate how he replaces the concept of God with Ford, warning that religious beliefs should not be replaced with superficial pleasures. Huxley creates this idea by relating Ford to materialism or superficial pleasure, and God to traditional religious beliefs.

What about this:
ReplyDeleteIn Brave New World, Huxley uses word choice, symbolism and contrast to show the concept of God being replaced with Ford to warn the reader about the negative effects of replacing religion with superficial pleasures. This occurs due to the materialism that is represented by Ford.
I dont know, just to get the ball rolling! I think the last sentence in particular needs work...
ACTUALLY, I like this:
ReplyDeleteIn Brave New World, Huxley uses word choice, symbolism and contrast to show God being replaced by Ford in order to warn the reader about the risk of replacing religion with superficial pleasure. This occurs due to the materialism represented by Ford.
And I think that the symbolism paragraph needs to come first, but only if it explains how Ford represents materialism. If it doesn't and even if it does, it would be very smart to elaborate more on how Ford represents materialism, that could be an entire paragraph but just adding to the thesis would be fine. We need to explain somewhere near the begining how that is so because in my paragraph im just saying that Ford does, and it defenitley needs elaboration somewhere. I could add it onto the paragraph, but that doesn't really fit with the topic.

Hmmmm i really like your 1st oneee. And yes, i agree, i'll put symbolism first then word choice, then contrast.
