BRAVE NEW ESSAY

Though I've read this book before, I am still analyzing the book as I read it for the second time. Therefore, my essay will be weak due to only being five chapters into the book. I will edit or post a better version in the future. I audited other blogs by looking through and choosing which blogs had the best topic for how far we are at in the book. I chose from my top 3 which were from Sam Wellard's blog, Amara Sharp's blog, and Danny Luu's blog. I thought Sam Wellard's topic was enough to write about, especially at this point of the book.

"Write an essay in which you convincingly argue that Brave New World describes what actually could happen, has happened, or is happening. Remember to link happenings in the modern world with specific events and ideas in the novel. Idea to consider: Is any of the fantasy in the novel now reality?"

  The life, the technology, the attitudes, the personalities, the thinking process, etc all change in today's world and has always changed. In Brave New World, the story is like a prediction of what the world will be heading to, just like in other utopian novels. Life as we know it could be heading towards a mass production of people or also known as cloning. 

  Thinkers have been trying to clone creatures of this earth. People are not exactly sure of why cloning is a big thing. Maybe it is because of the saying that one wishes to have more of them in many different places. Maybe the fact that multi-tasking is not for everyone so having more of one person to do different tasks is deemed acceptable? Maybe also that having more of one personality is a socially acceptable thing? It is a quite confusing topic that occurs in real life and in the book. The book talks about people who are born/produced in within the different social classes. 

  Another example would be that the idea of society affecting how one becomes is real. It is evident in the book and in real life. In the book, the characters are from different social classes and were bred from different groups/social classes. Their society dictates how they act, talk, listen, think, etc. It is the same as the real world. Many people are influenced by today's society that they aim to become the ideal person based on today's society. This specific fantasy from the novel is now reality.

  Though the topics of cloning and society affecting personality have been mentioned, there may be more topics to discuss about as the book is read more and analyzed more.
