Poetic Techniques In Brave New World

Set at the end of the Cold War in East Germany, the movie Goodbye Lenin is the story of a young man, Alex, trying to protect his mother, Christiane, who just spent the last eight months in a coma. Christiane is a personification of the values and ideology of socialism. She carries them out in her interactions with society, and is very hopeful towards the success of the regime. During her absence, the fall of the Berlin Wall and of the German Democratic Republic leads to a radical and turbulent change in society: the fall of socialism and the triumph of capitalism. Because of the shocking effect of such information and the danger of another heart attack, Alex creates for Christiane an ideological form of socialism. Fundamental themes in the movie are the difference between ideal and reality of socialism, as well as the positive and negative aspects of the transition to free market capitalism. Such themes are carried out through a juxtaposition of an ideal society and its reality in the form of a constructed reality of socialism. This idealized version of socialism served as an oasis from the chaotic transition from a problematic socialist regime to free market capitalism.

The writer of the song seems to be talking about a girl who’s looking for answers; she’s confused and doesn’t really know what’s happening around her. Although this is not wrong there seems to be more to this girl- Stephanie – than meets the eye.

For many, governments offer guidance and reliance; citizens enjoy security, order, and direction from their political leaders. Yet some forms of government — specifically Communism — cause instability, confusion, and distraction in the lives of their citizens. In Maria Reva’s short story “Novostroika,” she depicts the animosity of a young Ukrainian man, Daniil Blinov, who battles the oppressions of Communist life. In his position, Danill struggles to keep his family satiated under the dominion of the U.S.S.R. This leads to various dilemmas throughout the piece. Within this story, Reva incorporates a space heater, a symbol of hope, and a coffin, a symbol of oppression, to convey how Communism crushes the hope of its citizens.

Section Two gets more in depth with the characters traits and personalities, and how the characters feels towards the world state and the drug soma. Lenina asked Bernard to come to a wrestling match “In the end she persuaded him,much against his will, to fly over to Amsterdam to see the Semi-Demi-finals of the Women's Heavyweight Wrestling Championship” (Huxley 89). He is acting very sad and just uninterested for the entire day and while they are on there on there trip back Lenina refuses to take any soma. While he is still with Lenina he goes to a channel of water and begins to fly over it with the helicopter, and she repeatedly asked him to take her away from water then a he tells her that the silence of the running water and peace makes

“Prince was an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and actor, he served as a major figure in popular music for over three decades,” states Evita Gorgorni from Useless Daily. Prince Rogers Nelson was born June 7, 1958, and died April 21, 2016. He self- taught himself to play the piano at seven, guitar at thirteen, and drums at fourteen. Prince has won seven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe, an Academy Award and sold over 100 million records worldwide. One song of his, “Kiss” was nominated for Favorite Soul/R&B Single, and actually won an award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. The song is important because it tells of a man who is explaining his intentions with a woman. The song displays this by the instruments, lyrics, and arrangement. “Kiss” uses literary terms and is highly recommended rating almost 4 of 5 stars.

Soma, described by Mustapha Mond as ‘euphoric, narcotic, pleasantly hallucinant’, is a drug that took ‘six years [sic] [to be] produced commercially’. It offers the conditioned society hope by giving them a way to always be happy; ‘a gramme of soma’ can cure anything in their eyes, apart from a ‘glum Marx’ . However, in all actuality it doesn’t offer hope but rather gives the illusion of hope. Instead, it controls the population, enslaving them with happiness. In chapter seven, Lenina ‘[feels] in her pocket for

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is a very graphic novel that exemplifies the problems of modern society with a fictional setting that dates far into the future. However, the one feeling that Huxley describes most is the feeling of complete loneliness, even when surrounded by the very materialistic desires that were created for complete joy. This story revolves around one character in particular that portrays the theme of self loathing loneliness the most, and that is John “the Savage”.

I like to think of myself as a pretty smart individual. I have expressing my feelings through song for more than two decades. I was so focused on that, that I missed a lot when it comes to communicating with people directly. As a child I was left to navigate life and relationships on my own. I found a connection in music I was lacking in life. Several years ago, I gave up alcohol to live better. I have had a rough time adjusting to a new lifestyle. This chapter has helped me understand communication in a new light. I intend to use this new knowledge to have more effective connections with people.

On the one side is before, and on the other side is after, and what is inside belongs only to dead” (270). Marya bleeds and Russia bleeds and the men die in the millions. “It’s practically what they’re for’” (244). Ivan, real, flesh-and-bone, mortal Ivan, grows increasingly despondent as the war drags on and the hunger sets in, and his brutal, selfish, human qualities are revived as he accuses Marya of hording food. Russia—Leningrad, Stalingrad, all the great cities that sit on the border of Russian freedom and German occupation—starves as well. In the winter of 1941, after the rats and birds and other wretched beasts have been eaten, cases of cannibalism occur as the citizens of Leningrad grow ever more hopeless in their struggle to survive the war. Russia is on the verge of breaking, and so is Marya, as she “burn[s] all the books [including Pushkin] in the attic for heat…she cried, but without tears, because you cannot have tears without bread”

Q1. I would characterize the Soviet soldiers as hostile and loathing. This means the Soviet soldiers were antagonistic with an intense aversion over the Germans. The rapes committed in 1945 were acts of violence, an expression of revenge and hatred. Many soldiers were embarrassed by their own officers during war that they felt forced to redress such bitterness and the German women seemed as the easiest target (xix). The Stalinist sexual repression of the 1930’s was another assumption as to why Soviet soldiers often drank excessively before attacking their victims. A night in the widows’ apartment turned bad when a Soviet soldier turns his love towards the author into anger. The soldier, named Petka, threw a sewing machine and “starts swinging at me with his fists but keeps missing because he’s

In 2014, violinist Lindsey Stirling released the album “Shatter Me.” The album was mainly about Stirling’s struggles with eating disorders and change. The album was phenomenal. You could greatly feel the emotion each song is trying to convey. While Stirling includes her story, she also includes the songs that make you really want to dance.

In Brave New World written by Aldous Huxley, Lenina is nineteen years old, she is described as “uncommonly pretty.” She is in the beta class and the female archetype, a new type of civilized person in the New World society, both intellectually and sexually. Bernard Marx is interested in her, and Lenina in him. They travel to the reservation and later have sex. However, Lenina is discovering that John does not want to have sex with her, she is hurt and confused. When she was young, Lenina went through sleep training, which made her brain accustomed to certain sayings and feelings. She was accustomed to men wanting to go to bed with her. When she wants instant gratification, she consumes soma, a drug used in the society to make people feel better. When she traveled to John’s residents, she had high hopes for the situation to come. However, John strikes her. Lenina in Brave New World is a classic example of a common naïve young teenage girl who is set in her ways and expects everyone to want her, but through reality and drug use, falls apart.

In This Is How You Lose Her, Yunior encounters the stereotype that Dominicans are uncivilized and immature. At a young age, Yunior’s father dictates how Yunior views Dominican lifestyle. This is seen when Papi states, “I want you to treat everything around you with respect. I don't want you throwing any of your garbage on the floor or the street” (126). After moving from Santo Domingo to New Jersey, Papi is explaining to Yunior how he wants him to “treat everything… with respect”, this goes to show that Dominicans are disrespectful towards anyone or anything. Papi also states that he will not tolerate “throwing… garbage on the floor” Papi is implying that Dominicans are immature and discourteous, which is seen throughout Yunior’s relationships.

In the Reservation, one of the first things Lenina points out is the smell of the people and the environment, which is especially displeasing for her because she is used to everything being beautifully scented. Before she realizes what they are going to be used for, Lenina declares that she does not like the snakes writhing in one of the Native’s hands. She is disgusted by how dirty everything is in the Reservation. There is an abundance of dirt, trash, dust, dogs, and flies that she wrinkles her nose at. Because she was raised in a place where cleanliness was of the utmost importance, she cannot understand how these people can live in such a dirty state. Lenina is both horrified and amazed when she sees the old man on the ladder. She had

I am disappointed as well. I hope it doesn’t take something really bad happening before they realize how serious things can become. Melissa was one of the few people left that had worked with Misty post Byrce. We all know and have heard Misty speak about not having any contact with her family. She had really established such good rapport with Melissa. I hope Magnolia Woods f/u on the CSS recommendation for counseling for Misty.
