Everyone knows how this world runs with what is right and wrong; but what if what we think is right to another world might be wrong. In Brave New World there are two different worlds between the savages and the people of the New World.
Among all the different people we have a man named John. John was born from a mother and a father just like our world. Unlike the rest of the people John wants a family, someone only for him. John is a man with knowledge, he sees what is being done wrong with the New World people. These people do not have the ability to think for themselves they are being raised as an experiment rather than human being.
John lives his life just like ours, where we feel fear, sadness, and everything else that the world brings
John's life seemed to be one major drama after another; he didn't have a good male role model as a kid, and it seems he never was able to get on track. What was amazing about his life was the number of problems that he seemed to get into and how he wriggled out of them (with the help of a friendly person who just happened to meet him) only to run into more problems.
Brave New World, a dystopian novel by Huxley depicts a cruel reality if technology one day advances too much. In no way does the book support racism, or religious intolerance. The books main idea, is a character realizing the holes in the “perfect” society. The dystopian community’s motto is “Community, Identity, Stability,” by separate classes from each other, Musafa mon intended a society to be stable; or no competition. Not a “racist” society. The controller simply had to eliminate racial or religious problems through classes and hypnopaedia. If there wasn’t one religion in the civilization, it would cause potential for instability opposite of what he wanted. Brave New World should not be banned from schools due to race and religious intolerance.
When John was led back into life in the futuristic society, he was mocked and treat as a strange attraction. He was at the awful end of a sick joke - people came from all over to understand this simple “savage” who has spent his life in curiously primitive manners. John was so poorly received, he went as far as wanting to commit
gods being human. He is a well developed person. You see every aspect of John.
John was born into a hard environment, a split home with no room for the traditional love a child feels. He was forced to mature quick, and was encouraged to be hardy by his grandfather, who was the only survivor out of his brothers. Men during this time period were often expected to withstand dangerous environments or die trying. “His grandfather was the oldest of eight boys and the only one to live past the age of twenty-five. They were drowned, shot, kicked by horses. They perished in fires. They seemed to fear only dying in bed”. This provides one of many instances entailing the dangers of their
One might find themselves reading for pleasure to learn about an interesting time or place, or just to pass time. Now how will the style of the writer make a store interesting to a reader? We will look at two author style of writing from an early time. Ernest Hemingway style of writing is said to show masculine and Katherine Mansfield style of writing shows feminine. Let examine by looking at a short store from each author.
The major development seen in John’s character takes place near the end of the story, as he seeks a more pure life in a remote location. John feels as though he’s been poisoned by this new civilization “I ate civilization. It poisoned me; I was defiled. And then, I ate my own wickedness.” (241). He wants to not only live a noble life, but to make this life on his own, so chooses an abandoned lighthouse, far enough away from the disaster of a community he views Brave New World as a negative place with negative ideas. This is a major change from the identity he showed before being poisoned by this civilization, but once again he stays true to his values by leading this new life on his own. John’s strong moral values prove to be the one constant in his character.
In the novel "Brave New World", Aldous Huxley creates a utopia world, where people live in a society with the motto of community, identity, and stability. In this novel, human are created in test-tubes. Taking soma to fix human problems and having multiple sexual relationship with different partners are considered as progress of civilization. From my opinion, throughout this novel, there are various contradictions among the characters. Huxley creates many characters who stuggle from their own values and the World States ' values.

In Brave New World the reader can see that most of the World State members are happy even though some of the main characters like Bernard, Helmholtz, and John are unhappy. To the reader this might raise the question as to why that is. To me that answer can be found in the last couple of chapters when Mustapha and John have that one-on-one conversation in Mustapha’s office. The reader learns that Mustapha was a lot like Bernard, John, and Helmholtz in the sense that he was curious. In their society if someone is curious it is not a good thing because when they get curious they start to explore and start to reject all the conditioning they went through from the time they were made, to the time they were able to start work. So Mustapha admits to John that he was curious about science and wasn’t happy with the way society had dumbed it down and hidden away “real” science. He even admitted that he was about to be moved to an island when an offer was made to him. This offer was for him to either move to an island where he could continue his science experiments or give up science and eventually become a World Controller.
In a last attempt to change society, John halted a soma distribution by throwing the rations out of a window. "But do you like being slaves?" John didn't understand because he didn't have the same upbringing or beliefs as the rest of the people. Before long John had become a hermit, secluded in an abandoned lighthouse. "After all, it was not to sing and enjoy himself that he had come here. It was to escape further contamination by the filth of civilized life; it was to be purified and made good; it was to actively make amends." To keep himself focused and away from
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is a book centered around underage sex, substance abuse and lack of morality, a book which is a part of the school's curriculum. Many books with homosexual characters have been banned and challenged around the nation. This is not justified considering some of these books contain no explicit content. Does that mean a book like Brave New World with explicit content is acceptable for high school students to read? Although the dystopian novel shows the dangers of technology becoming highly advanced, nevertheless the uncensored and graphic content in this book is something no student should have to read. The reasons Brave New World should be challenged are banned are immorality, sexually explicit scenes and promotion
In Brave New World their society is taught moral lessons and slogans by hypnopaedia. For example "a gramme is better than a damn." Today we are forced into believing propaganda and advertisements. We are bombarded with ads and pressure to buy certain things, or believe what people tell us. In Brave New World if they do not follow propaganda they are considered abnormal, and are forced out of society.
There was a clip of the war that he served on the news last night one of his favorites programs that he loves to hate.

During the 1930s, the times of World War II and the Great Depression, Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World. There were several issues going on in Huxley’s time that are still present in today's world . Huxley features some of these problems in his book, Brave New World. These problems include drug or medicine usage, women and gender inequality, and traditional marriage/homosexuality. Since this book was written during the times of the Great Depression and World War II, these factors also contributed to some of these issues. Since World War II and the Great Depression are over, these do not affect the problems today. Although some of these problems are still a problem in today's world and society, they are not as much of a problem as they were during Huxley's time.
