LM_NET: Library Media Networking
One of our English teachers would like your help. She has received a
book report from a student which is not consistent with his previous written
work. It begins:
Brave New World (1932), a satirical, futuristic novel by Aldous
Huxley, is a major work of Utopian Literature. Set in the year 632, it
depicts a world in which art, religion and individual achievement have
been replaced by societal conformity, indifferent technology ...
We do not have access to Masterplots, CliffNotes, Monarch, or any book of
literary criticism. We are a small school (7-12, 400 students) located
about 30 miles from any library large enough to provide such sources and
have no local newstands which carry Cliff's.
Because we are a small community, and because of "who the student is" we
do not feel we can accuse without support, but we also do not think it is
fair to him or to others if we fail to address this situation.
If there is a source, gopher or otherwise, for this kind of information
on Internet, I have not yet found it, but would appreciate knowing how to
access it. Please reply to me, personally, as this does not seem
suitable for the Net.
The teacher and I greatly appreciate any help you can give us.
