Brave New World by Aldous Huxley



Currently being read and analyzed by me, Joshua Ilustre. From our class discussions, I really expect a lot from this book. Kazzandra and Alana's description of the book made me want to read it. I expect to learn about Aldous Huxley's style of writing, hoping that reading this book is well worth it. Aldous Huxley came from an educated family, and so I'm sure this book is very rich in terms of content and as Alana quoted "yummy."

Speaking of Pathos...

"What I like about the poem is the way the speaker (the farmer) talks throughout the poem. It's like as if he himself went through what the mouse went through. The way he talks is like he empathizes the poor mouse.. poooor mouse :)" [Josh's talking about the speaker in the poem].  Do you expect John Steinbeck's narrator to relate to his characters the same way the farmer does in the poem vis-a-vis the mouse?

Question

How does the title of this novella relate to Robert Burns' poem, "To A Mouse?"
