we have read the novel Brave New World. This novel has become more popular in recent
years due to technological, scientific, and political developments in the United States and
abroad. To some degree, the novel has become part of our contemporary culture with
references to the novel in a wide range of situations. In fact, a search of major newspapers
around the United States reveals thousands of references to the novel’s title regarding
everything from consumer goods to popular culture to politics to social and cultural issues.
In this essay, you will find three articles via the AACC online library databases (utilize the
“National Newspapers & The Sun” database on the library’s web page or other sources (no
web sites!) Briefly highlight the main point of the article and then, more importantly,
connect it to the novel. You will directly quote from the article in each paragraph and then
reflect on the topic’s connection to the example taken from the novel. You will also quote
from the novel; therefore, each body paragraph should contain two quotations: one from
the article and one from the novel. See my suggested outline below for more
clarification. Introduction ParagraphDraw the reader’s attention by referencing the broader
concerns of technology and science in our lives, or how humans often engage in behaviors
without considering the consequences of their actions. More specifically, begin referring to
the events and the experiences of the characters in the novel. Include a clear, focused thesis
statement at the end of the introduction paragraph. Note: your thesis must not include the
titles of all of the article you find. Instead, make it very clear that that current events articles
are being utilized as a way to better understand the issues that we find in the novel.Body
Paragraph IBegin with a topic sentence that mentions the issue that is touched upon by both
the article and the novel. Include a quotation from the article and a brief overview of the
novel’s main point(s). Additionally, provide some insight into the issue(s) raised by the
article. Then, transition to a specific (!) example from the novel that correlates with one or
more of the issues in the article. Include a quotation from the text to clarify and/or support
your ideas. Offer some analysis reflecting on both the article and the novel together and the
way in which the article reflects some of the topics or issues raised by the novel. End with a

2. sentence that reconnects the reader to the topic sentence and/or provides a transition to
the next body paragraph.#Essay #Brave #World #News
