Brave New World Analysis

In Brave New World, Aldous Huxley uses tone to develop characters in the novel while simultaneously showing that every character is cast out at some point in their lives. This utopian future setting is developed throughout the whole first half of the novel.The entire culture is different, children are genetically bred and conditioned in so called Hatcheries. “ “Stability,” said the controller, “Stability. No civilization without social stability. No social stability without individual stability” (page 42) Each person supports a specific role in society, and if they break that role they are exiled. Readers get the chance to meet a few characters who question why they were even decanted or in John's case, Born.

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley shows how scientific advances could and have destroyed human values. Huxley wrote Brave New World in 1932, and most of the technologies he examines in the book have, to some extent, turned into realities. He expresses the concern that society has been neglecting human-being distinction in the progression of worshipping technology. In the story there are no mothers or fathers and people are produced on a meeting line where they are classified before birth. They also use a drug called, soma, to control themselves which illustrate the lack of personal freedom. Everyone in the state world do whatever they were taught since they were growing. For example, one of the tasks they give people is sexuality which is

"'God isn't compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness.'" So says Mustapha Mond, the World Controller for Western Europe in Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World. In doing so, he highlights a major theme in this story of a Utopian society. Although the people in this modernized world enjoy no disease, effects of old age, war, poverty, social unrest, or any other infirmities or discomforts, Huxley asks 'is the price they pay really worth the benefits?' This novel shows that when you must give up religion, high art, true science, and other foundations of modern life in place of a sort of unending happiness, it is not worth the sacrifice.

Throughout history, humans have had a strong reliance on nature and their environment. As far back as historians can look, people have depended on elements of nature for their survival. In the past few decades, the increased advancement of technology has led to an unfortunate division between humans and nature, and this lack of respect is becoming a flaw in current day society. In Last Child in the Woods, Louv criticizes modern culture by arguing that humans increasing reliance on technology has led to their decreasing connection with nature through the use of relevant anecdotes, rhetorical questions and powerful imagery to appeal to ethos.

‘The sheer popularity’ of stimulating nature or using nature as ad space ‘demands that we acknowledge, even respect, their cultural importance,’ suggests Richtel. Culturally important, yes. But the logical extension of synthetic nature is the irrelevance of ‘true’ nature— the certainty that it’s not even worth looking at. (Louv lines 9-19)

In his 2008 novel, Last Child in the Woods, journalist and natural idealist Richard Louv demonstrates the effect that separation from nature has on children. Using a variety of rhetorical strategies, Louv reminds the different parents, as agree cohort which adapted alongside new technology, of the benefits they received from nature prior to the technological revolution. Louv persuades them to instill an appreciation of the natural world in their children, even if such appreciation deviates from societal norms.

Richard Louv writes a persuasive essay analyzing the relationship between nature and technology. His essay focuses on how technology is progressively altering the way we perceive nature. Louv believes that the more we are in contact with technology, the less in touch we are with nature. His persuasion throughout the essay uses many rhetorical devices to help the reader envision how much better “true nature” is.

Nowadays, children have become very dependent on technology, rather than observing the world around them. Richard Louv's, "Last Child in the Woods" excerpt portrays to readers that children, nowadays, aren't being given the opportunities nor choosing to embrace nature for themselves. Instead, they're using technology to sort of "mask" reality. Louv provides logical reasoning, real examples, and emotional and relative connections with the reader to strengthen his opinion on this topic. The title, "Last Child in the Woods", also assists with the emphasis that children aren't embracing nature. Author Richard Louv effectively uses rhetorical strategies in this excerpt from "Last Child in the Woods" to emphasize the importance of embracing "true" nature.

In this world where people can acquire anything they need or want, we have to wonder, “Is the government controlling us?” Both the governments in A Brave New World and in the United States of America offer birth control pills and have abortion clinics that are available for everyone, thus making birth control pills and abortion operations very easy to acquire. Although both governments offer birth control pills and abortion clinics, A Brave New World’s government requires everyone to take the pills and immediately get an abortion when pregnant. This in turn shows us that A Brave New World’s government is controlling the population and the development of children. China is one of the few countries that currently have control of the

In his passage from “Last Child In the Woods”, author Richard Louv illustrates how people today don’t appreciate the greatness of nature, as adequately as they should. In employing multiple rhetorical strategies, Louv forces the audience to feel ashamed and remorseful for wanting to create a sort of artificial nature, and deprive their children from experiencing nature in its vastness. In addition to using very accusatory tone, Louv utilizes sarcastic diction, metaphors, and repetition to remind to the older generations, or anyone who remembers a world without modern technology, to teach the younger generations to always appreciate the world outside of their screen.

The use of technology in society today has drastically increased and has became difficult to comprehend. To the point where it started to consume people’s lives no matter how hard they strived to be individuals, and it drew a wedge between society and nature. In Richard Louv’s passage, “Last Child In The Woods,” he emphasizes how over time the relationship between people and nature has declined by using rhetorical strategies such as imagery, anecdotes, and hypothetical examples.

In “Last Child in the Woods” the author Richard Louv argues how americans are being separated from nature and why we should stay more involved in nature. He uses several rhetorical strategies to prove his point using imagery and rhetorical questions to convey his message.

A Brave New World is a world in which people try to create their own Utopia (a perfect place to leave) but they try to do this by creating humans and training them when they are children to stop thinking, feeling and only achieve society’s goals. They are divided by castes: alpha, betas, gammas, delta and epsilons. I chose to write a newspaper article because I think that they try to achieve their perfect place in a wrong way by using soma as a drug of happiness and relaxation. In my work, I am a writer of the “London Telegraph" who makes an article about that drug and their effects in the castes, also it says how they are going to solve their problems. This work is written in a formal, serious and informative tone, in order to avoid affecting the population’s general point of view about the topic. The purpose of the newspaper is to inform people about what is happening in the world state, the castes and what are the possible consequences of this occurrence. This article describes the effects of the drug soma and their purpose on using it in their social castes. The target audience is general public, which have to know about these problems and the changes in the creating human’s industry in London. London telegraph Is soma still a safe option to control the castes? Last week, several cases have been presented where certain individuals of the castes were affected apparently provoked by a malfunction of the soma (drug that is used to calm them) provoking a negative reaction in the individuals. Recently a group of Alphas said they felt bad and very stressed with their work. In the case of gammas that are a little more primitive the soma does not act as a sedative, on the contrary, it is acting as a stimulant that leads to insanity and very severe anger attacks. According to the institute in charge of developing and creating humans this can be due to an alteration of the soma or a side effect with the new borne individuals. The scientists do not know with certainty if that is what can be provoking it, but surely this means a decrease in the yield of these two varieties, which can lead the world state to great difficulties since everything is supposed to be perfect for the creation of the ideal metropolis, a utopia

Since he grew up on the Reservation, it is clear that John is extremely different from the mechanically produced and conditioned citizens of the World State. After arriving in the dystopian society, John says, ‘“O brave new world that has such people in it’” (107). Growing up in a completely opposite environment, John is in awe when he witnesses the many technological aspects that allow the World State to function and continue building a perfect society. The reference to the title illuminates the difference between John the Savage and everyone around him because they come from two different worlds; however, John expresses a sense of excitement as he finally explores a new and civilized society. On the other hand, the reference to the title can also be taken ironically because at first, John seems to almost praise the civilization he is in; however, as he spends more time in the World State and understands the extent of the control the citizens are under, he rejects all the ideals that the “brave new world” encompasses.

Unlike our world today Brave New World is entirely different due to the way children are reproduced. The following paragraphs are summaries of chapters one through three in the book the Brave New World.
