Essay Topic: Describe the elements of our real-time world that you think relate-- or don't-- to Huxley's Brave New one.
The elements in Brave New World may seem different to our real-time world. However, the elements in the book are camouflaged. The concepts of the elements are the same but the way they are taught and done are different.
Teaching is extremely important in every society whether it be in today's society or on Brave New World's society. The concept of teaching is to learn new things and in our world we learn in a classroom and get detention if we do things wrong. In Brave New World the way of teaching is more crude and nobody questions why they teach that way. An example is when the children are in the room and they here a loud noise when they begin to do something. These two concepts are similar because they both involve learning to keep everything balanced. This is all a part of how we get into are own social classes.
In Brave New World Huxley categorizes the characters into alpha's, beta's, and deltas. The alphas and betas are the two that are in charge and get to do more than others while the deltas are at the bottom of the chain. This is similar to our real-time society because we are categorized as upper, middle, and lower classes. Much like the alphas and betas the upper and middle classes get to do more than the lower class.
There is plenty of parallelism in Brave New World and in our real-time world. Huxley does a good job of showing us this by relating basic elements we use everyday into Brave New World.
Hi Eli! (I like your blog background)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of your essay is that the topic you choose related to everyday life which instantly makes everything more interesting to read.
You also used plenty of examples to emphasize your points.
You did a good job at presenting an idea and then following up with a real-life example. That made your ideas more solid. Good job!
ReplyDeleteEli, you addressed the prompt well and fulfilled the requirements. I especially liked how you used teaching as an example, which I don't think many people actually wrote their essay on. One thing you can improve on is just developing your thesis more. Overall, good job!
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased to understand your point of view on this novel with the addition of how there are much parallelism in the environment.
