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.
