Fragments (Brave New World)

"No more than sleep. Sleep. Perchance to dream." PAGE 254

Throughout the novel, the author uses a unique style. He continuously uses fragments to convey his message. The short phrases drew attention to his point. They were effective in focusing the reader on the important issue. Rather than wasting interest on the unimportant details, the author uses fragments to briefly make a statement. I found the fragments to be effective because it was something I noticed throughout the novel. It made me focus on those brief phrases rather than on the little details provided in the longer sentences. Without the use of fragments, it would have been hard to distinguish the important details from the unimportant ones. This book presented an interesting view on the future and presented a message through the use of various literary devices.
