Brave New World

Brave New world, Blog assigment:


 1. What is the relevance of chapters 1, 2 and 3 for the development of the plot of the novel?

These 3 chapters teach us how is this world created by author Aldous Huxley. It is characterized as futuristic in which many things are different with those of the present in which people loss the concept of parents and much of the 'past' have been eliminated, as monogamy, this is shown on page 35, '' What with mothers and lovers, what with the prohibitions they were not conditioned to obey, what with the temptations and the endless isolating pain, what with The uncertainties and the poverty ...'' Besides that, almost all forms of acting, of thinking, of living is seen as an embarrassment to this new world which seeks the motto of Community, Identity, Stability.



2. What kind of text is the information in these three chapters conveyed:  description, conversations, narration, other? Give examples.


In Chapter 1, the description is widely used, also its makes us an a introduction in which the director begins   ''from the beginning'', explaining the Bokanovsky's process, their explain various features that this company have and Mr. Foster gave some descriptions, in language very detailed and a little hard to understand what makes us see the scientific point of things.
a clear example of description is the beginning of the novel on Page 1:'' A SQUAT GREY building of only thirty-four storeys. Over main entrance the words, CENTRAL LONDON HATCHERY AND CONDITIONING CENTRE, and, in a shield, the World State's motto, COMMUNITY, IDENTIFY, STABILITY.''

In chapter 2 dominates the narrative, which wraps us doing several clarifications of the world was like in the past when the director said, 'The parents were the father and the mother', These, I said gravely, are unpleasant facts, I know it. but, then, most historical facts are unpleasant'' (page 19). Finally in this chapter 2 and to support my conclusion that this chapter dominates the narrative is that the director begins to tell the story of Little Reuben and other facts that show the type of text.

Finally in Chapter 3 dominates the conversations in which they spend most of the chapter talking about the love affairs that arise within this futuristic world, a clear example of conversation is at page 33: 'Dr Wells says That a three month' s Pregnancy Substitute now will make all the diference to my health for the next three or four years. Well, I hope he's right, said Lenina.'' This conversation and others more extended is what are shown in the third chapter.

3. What are 4 important facts we learn about this future world?

The perfect balance, the new way of gestation explained in detail in these chapters, the loss parents concept, which is further evidenced by the students according to page 19'' and parent? Questioned the DHC. There was an uneasy silence. Several of the boys blushed.'' Last but not least the new five castes.

II

a) “They'll be safe from books and botany all their lives”

This is found in Chapter 2 page 17. It's a phrase said by the director to the students when they were in Neo-Pavlovian Conditioning Rooms. The director makes a small sample of how do you hate books and botany, as these only served to work as they were the dumbest way to put it, so it would be a waste of time to teach the books and with respect to the botanic, their loved this at first but as it says on page 18 ('' a love of nature keeps no factories busy. it was Decided to abolish the love of nature, at any rate Among the lower classes, to abolish the love of nature, but not the tendency to consume transport'') was not efficient, and what really mattered was manufactered articles they consume as well as transport. This benefits the lifestyle of people of Brave New World since the epsilons can only focus on what's important.

b) “But in Epsilons …we don’t need human intelligence”.

This is found at page 11, Chapter 1. This phrase said Mr. Foster when they were passing meter 320 on Rack 11 because a student asked 'But why do you want to keep the embryo below par? (page 11) then is why Mr.Foster answer this question by giving an examples which mentions that man only mature and have an a accept knowledge after 20 years, which is a nuisance for the Epsilons so by one side are better than them and they mature at 10 years and do not need this human intelligence, for the reason that they do not need, not manufactured, but the only problem is that only come to work at age 18. This contributes to the lifestyle of people of Brave New World in the aspect of accelerates the process of human evolution according to my point of view, where be able to mature faster and contribute to society efficiently.

C) “Family, monogamy, romance.Everywhere exclusiveness, everywhere a focussing on interest, a narrow channel of impulse and energy”.

This is found at page 34, Chapter 3. This phrase said Mustapha Mond mention when their was talking to Lenina about Henry Foster, she said that because Lenina would return a date with Henry Foster which upset some part to Fanny, as in the days of''Brave New World' this was seen as unusual and improper and it says at page 35 when Fanny said:'' Their world did not allow them to take things easily, did not allow them to be sane, virtous, happy''. Then we were given to understand that monogamy does not work it was a failure in the past and this is supposed to benefit the future making people happier.
