"He had been prepared to lie, to bluster, to
remain sullenly unresponsive; but, reassured by
the good-humored intelligence of the Controller's
face, he decided to tell the truth,
straightforwardly."
--Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
1. What effect does the repetition of infinitives (to
lie, to bluster, to remain) in the first clause have
on the meaning of the sentence? How do these
infinitives prepare you for the infinitive phrase (to
tell the truth) in the second clause?
2. What is the function of the semicolon in
Huxley's sentence?

1. The repetition supports and emphasizes that he was really planning to lie. It shows that this plan was clear to him at first, and that he didn't question it until he was reassured by the Controller. Basically, the plan was concrete in his mind until the Controller changed that.

2. The semicolon shows the link between the two concepts whilst still separating them to highlight the differentiation of them. In other words, the semicolon shows how the ideas are connected yet separate.

explanation

old disney was more kid oriented as appose to new disney it's more teen oriented.i guess what i'm trying to say is new disney is way more mature and out there then old disney. for instance all you see in new disney is bf/gf drama and old disney it was nothing like that. kids are growing up and as coorpations like disney, nickolden etc they tend to follow what kids follow so they can have more views . therefore   they have inferred   that now days kids want to have relationships and stuff so that's what disney gives them.

i believe that dan is so anxious because he dose not know what awaits him when he gets there. but i dont know to be honest
