Answer:
1. The climax of the story is when John moved out from the civilization to the light house to live alone. He grew his own vegetables and made he own weapons. One day when he was finished whittling the stave into shape, he caught himself sing. He had promised himself to stay away from outside world. So he felt guilty and start punishing himself by whipping his own flesh. During his whipping, there were 3 Delta-Minus land-workers pass by and watch the whole sense. They were amazed and got excited, so they reported back to the city and more people came to watch. After one of the reporters recorded his second time whipping, a whole crowd of people came from helicopters to watch John whip himself. The whole crowd yelled "we want the whip!" over and over again. Until he saw Lenina got off from the helicopter he called her a strumpet and started to whip Lenina, because he thought Lenina made him to sin. The crowd were excited to see flesh flying around and blood everywhere. When it was midnight, John woke up remembering what he has done. He could take it and the next day the arrivals found John has hanged himself.

2. The social commentary of this book is when people wanted happiness they would anything to get it. They would eliminate anything that gets in our way to our happiness. We would give up our rights, freedom, and even our closest family to get what we want.

3. The book Brave New World was a very interesting book. I would never really imagine our world would turn out to be like this, so it was quite shocking. Some parts of the story was also pretty breath taking. Such as the last part of the chapter 18 when John killed Lenina and the whole crowd were cheering for it. Over all the book was little bit boring but some parts were interesting.

QUESTIONS: Why do you think the author put some appealing characteristics into his hypothetical world?In what ways does Brave New World match (or stray from) the satire model we discussed in class?

The author put some of these appealing characteristic into his story is to let us compare our pleasant world with the world in the book. We can find some of the things that accrue in the book that's actually is happening now. For example, sex is encourage right now through movies, media, advertisements, and even school. The media show how the celebrates are sleeping with so and so through magazines and T.V. shows. Even school encourage sex through passing out condoms to students telling them it is OK, as long as it is safe. This kinda of behavior is starting to be more like the world in the book; encouraging everyone that having sex with everyone is OK. Another example is genetic engineering, in the book everyone is genetic engineer and not born naturally. In the world that we living in now, people are trying to engineer genes so I wouldn't get any disease, so we are also moving toward to having test tube babies.

Brave New World give the reader a negative impression about the future that everybody belongs to everyone else. He tries to make it negative so we will not repeat what happen it the book. Some of the characters in the book are against the idea, so the author is hinting us that we should go against what it is wrong.

Protagonist

One of the main character in the story is Lenina. She is first introduce as a nurse that prepare vaccinations for certain type of disease such as typhoid and sleeping sickness. She is uncommonly pretty and has purple eyes. In the book she has a long term relationship with Henry Foster for four months. This is consider weird in the society, because at that time they believe every belongs to someone else. In this society, no one would have a long term relationship, so Lenina was was consider a bit outcast.

In the story reflect the social commentary that the author is trying express his thoughts about compressing our own feelings. The characters in the story thought that it is weird to have long term feelings for others. They think that everyone belongs to someone else. The author is trying to make clear that we shouldn't let anyone to control us. Don't let people control how they want us to live, look like, or control our thoughts. Just because everyone in the society thinks is right, it doesn't mean it is.
