1 10 th Grade Summer Reading Assignment: Name: Brave New World by Aldous Huxley By carefully completing this assignment over the summer, which you need to bring to class on the first day of school, you will be prepared to discuss the story in the Fall and to write an in-class essay. About the novel: Written in 1931 and published the following year, Aldous Huxley's Brave New World is a dystopia novel. In it, the author questions the values of 1931 London, using satire and irony to portray a futuristic world in which many of the contemporary trends in British and American society have been taken to extremes. Though he was already a best-selling author, Huxley achieved international acclaim with this now classic novel. Because Brave New World is a novel of ideas, the characters and plot are secondary, even simplistic. The novel is best appreciated as an ironic commentary on contemporary values. The story is set in a London six hundred years in the future. People all around the world are part of a totalitarian state, free from war, hatred, poverty, disease, and pain. They enjoy leisure time, material wealth, and physical pleasures. However, in order to maintain such a smoothly running society, the ten people in charge of the world, the Controllers, eliminate most forms of freedom and twist around many traditionally held human values. Standardization and progress are valued above all else. These Controllers create human beings in factories, using technology to make ninety-six people from the same fertilized egg and to condition them for their future lives. Children are raised together and subjected to mind control through sleep teaching to further condition them. As adults, people are content to fulfill their destinies as part of five social classes, from the intelligent Alphas, who run the factories, to the mentally challenged Epsilons, who do the most menial jobs. All spend their free time indulging in harmless and mindless entertainment and sports activities. When the Savage, a man from the uncontrolled area of the world (an Indian reservation in New Mexico) comes to London, he questions the society and ultimately has to choose between conformity and death. PART 1: Vocabulary For each chapter, choose a word that you are unfamiliar with. Write down the sentence that it was used in. Provide a definition (based on the context). Then compose your own sentence that uses the word and demonstrates comprehension of the meaning. Example: Insurmountable The odds seemed insurmountable to the workers unable to be overcome or mastered. Going up Red Hill seemed insurmountable, but, with practice, I was able to make it to the top.

You may want to analyze what we learn about the character or the dystopian world that Huxley creates from the quote. Please write out the quote entirely and respond in complete sentences.

10 18 Part 3: Tracking the Ethics of the World State The World State encourages values and behaviors that our contemporary society considers unacceptable or immoral. In the left column, name three of these behaviors and cite specific examples from the text, including page number. In the right, consider both how and why this behavior is discouraged in contemporary American Society. Behavior or value that is encouraged in the World State: Why the behavior continues to be discouraged in our society today: Behavior or value that is encouraged in the World State: Why the behavior continues to be discouraged in our society today: 10

11 Behavior or value that is encouraged in the World State: Why the behavior continues to be discouraged in our society today: Theme In a sentence paragraph, identify and examine one argument that Huxley makes about an inherent weaknesses in his society. You might consider how he uses topics like consumerism, the caste system, propaganda, mediocracy, gender, or another topic of your choice to construct his argument, supportable by evidence in the book. 11

12 Making Contemporary Connections Huxley wrote this novel of a Dystopian future in order to warn his audience of contemporary society s failings, and how human weaknesses could result in a future like this one. Decades later, does this warning still fit? In a sentence paragraph, explain how this work is or is not relevant to contemporary life and to your personal experience as a student. 12
