Several books were handed in late and a few were incomplete. On the brighter side, there were several books that showed full effort, were cleverly crafted, and were fun! Well done!
On Monday afternoon we'll be doing a test on the novel 1984.
Here's a few hints
- know the importance of Jones, Aaronson, and Rutherford
- Ampelforth is a poet
- understand the sybolism of the paperweight with the coral in it
- reread the last two paragraphs of the novel. You'll notice the sentence "The long-hoped for bullet was entering his brain." Think about this for a moment. Is it a real bullet? Or could it also be merely a metaphor to describe that his mind is now as destroyed, as it would be had a bullet been shot into it. It's an intriguing ambiguity that you might be asked to discuss.
- who is Ogilvy?
- know what a pseudonym is and how it applies to George Orwell
