Launch/Masterpiece
My career goal is to major in Mechanical Engineering. In order to do this I will have to max out my learning in calculus and physics. To get some experience with mechanical engineering I will be attending the weekly long tour at Cal Poly this summer so I can get some actual experiences and information from the field. I will need to stay focused and continue to work hard to achieve my goal.

I, Jury
Mia: Your essay is good with a lot of information. I like how the introduction has some background on Huxley.
Ian: I think that your thesis is strong.
Lesther: I like how you use thinkers because it refers to thinkers in the past, present, and the future.
Kylie: I like how you compare your ideas to today's society.
The essays that I read are well written and have good information. In the essays I discovered that they each have a comparison to Brave New World and today's world. I thought that was good while proving there points. I also compared today;s society with Brave New Worlds society.

Brave New Essay
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.

Brave New Essay Topic
It
seems undeniable that most World State members are happy, but at what
cost? Some, like John, Bernard, and Helmholtz criticize the quality of
life in the World State. Consider the results of stability being
privileged over freedom, and decide what, if anything, is wrong with the
World State’s society.
Analyze the character of Bernard Marx. In what ways is he admirable? In what ways is he less than admirable? Overall, how would you characterize his motivations and actions? Explore the function his character plays in the novel. What purpose does he serve?
I would go about the first prompt by getting more information on how the characters see themselves. This will give me information about there lives and if they see themselves as being happy. I would base the way they live and tie it into there freedom.
I would answer the second prompt by showing how Bernard has some humanity in the story. This is uncommon in the book.

School is important to my life and I see myself continuing with school after I graduate from high-school. I expect it to be harder than high-school and I am preparing for it. I see it as being very similar to now because I will still need to do things in order to pass the class and actually come away with something. Current habits will always be in play and it is important to work on these habits now so that way they are good habits. I expect it to be a nice and interesting ride as I continue with my education and life.
