Well, tomorrow is the day I present. I'm pretty nervous about it, but I know that as soon as it's over I'm going to feel much better and won't have to worry about it any longer!
This weekend I worked a lot on my analysis and such of the main part of the IOP. I also put together a brief outline of the presentation, which I am now redoing and making more detailed. I changed and added some more things to my analysis from the last time I wrote about it. I realized a few things and found a few other items. One of the main things that I came up with were what Huxley was representing the characters for. Bernard is the way that all the people should be. Lenina is the representative of civilization and the completely assimilated person. And finally John is the way a person might feel/be like if they don't fit in anywhere, so pretty much the worst-case scenario.
Other than those changes I also added in some other presentation details such as what I am going to say at the beginning and how I am going to conclude my presentation. I decided that I am going to give a brief overview of the book. But it will just be really short because most of the people have already heard about all of the dystopian books. Also I am going to ask a question of the class just to get them thinking. I will introduce my thesis and then get started on my evidence and evaluation. Then for my conclusion I decided to put what each of the characters represent in the end because they don't have a direct connection back to my thesis and those facts are more of a over-all summary. I figured they would be good to add in as an ending.
Other than that, I'm hoping everything goes well tomorrow!
