A few things to consider:

• Posting comments below is a good thing.
• As I said last year, it might be easy to jump to the conclusion that conservatives are conformists and liberals are rebels, it goes much deeper than such absolutes. We’ll talk tomorrow.
• Read through chapter 12 for our discussion on Tuesday.

That Has Such People In’t! ((Shakespeare. The Tempest. V.i.)) ((Huxley, Aldous. Brave New World. New York: HarperCollins, 1998. 139. Print.))

We read Harlan Ellison’s “’Repent, Harlequin!’ Said the Ticktockman” in class today to begin our discussion of conformity and rebellion. Here are some things to consider as we move forward:

• What is this freedom thing, and why is it so important to us?
• What is conformity? Rebellion?
• What do each do for us?
• In what kinds of situations are either of them appropriate?

I passed out copies of Brave New World in class. You should read through chapter two for tomorrow. Also, fill out the form here so I can keep track of all of them. (Don’t worry about it if you emailed me earlier.)
