1. What was the climax of the story? Some of you have already talked about this in class, but I want each group to come to a consensus.2. What was the social commentary?3. Why did you like/dislike the novel? Don't just say "I thought the story was good"... I want some opinion and thought, here! Also, I don't want you to write "it sucked" without backing up your opinion with some good, critical comments. Think of a movie review. Those reviewers never just say "it sucked"... they give evidence and details.And... it's okay to dislike your book!
1. The climax of the story is when Bernard and Lenina went to the rest- house where they met John aka "The Savage", and Linda.
2. The social commentary in this book is when the world starts to become more and more modernized, we will forget the important events had happened in the past.
3. I actually enjoyed reading the book but the only problem is that I had to read it in a very limited of time. When I keep reading, I can imagine what is happening and feel how the characters feel. In the beginning, I thought that this book was going to talk about a man's life since he was born until he dies, but I was wrong.

yeah.. its a great book alright =]
I'm glad you enjoyed it in spite of the time constraints, but you're right: Books should be enjoyed at a slower pace. That's just one of the many limitations of school!
I think you have a good point on about what you think the social commentary is. It's easy for people to forget/change the past. History may be different around the world.
