Learning Target: Make connections between literature and the modern world.

Exposing-the-truth-of-abu-ghraib



Digital Nation Distracted By Everything

Milgram Experiment




Ashcroft Experiment



HW: Read pp. 275-312

The last chapter, 299-312, is actually the Appendix: The Principles of Newspeak. 

It is fairly compex examination of the connections between diction (word choices), syntax (sentence structure), and their effect on our ability to think, our ability to formulate ideas.  This is directly related to our study of rhetoric, so read it carefully, at a time when you are awake enough to comprehend it.
