1984 Vs. Brave New World
Brave New World is one of the landmark books of the twentieth century, now widely regarded as a classic. Like many, I first read this book at school (for O-level) many years ago; it is a tribute to the power to the book that even after that experience I still hold it in high regard. Brave New World is Aldous Huxley's dystopian (not utopian) vision of the future (the far future when he originally wrote

Response to Brave New World
Nicenet Post As for all rhetorical questions, this one is also very hard to answer. For this question, I will not directly state my opinion. Instead, I will bring up various point of views to enforce your own way of thinking. Mustapha Mond has a decent knowledge of what they would so call the “past.” He had brought up a very interesting point of art and beauty, and why it was sacrificed for stability. As

Brave New World
(This is a rough draft, so there are many errors in the writing.) Life compared to Brave New World and the present world are slightly different, but they both have many similarities. For one thing, life is taken for granted in both societies. Marriage is wasted, in the Savage Reservation the husbands aren't loyal or faithful to their wives, at it happens many times today. The use of drugs became a normal daily routine. Self-indulgences,

Brave New World V 1984
Our society is, in many ways, far from the totalitarianism of George Orwell’s 1984, and yet it is surprisingly close to the brainwashed civilization of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World which paints a vivid picture of indulgence, promiscuity, and an utter lack of individuality. The world of Brave New World is mindless and seeped so deeply in pleasure that the people, rather than being oppressed as in 1984, lack any incentive to change, and,

Brave New World
I wrote this paper in my english class after reading 'A Brave New World': On the very last page of Aldous Huxley’s book, A Brave New World, he describes John as swinging slowly in circles after hanging himself (Huxley 259). It’s believed that Huxley’s main point of this ending to his story was to tell his readers that after all John’s effort of trying to change the brave new world, it was profoundly hopeless and

Alfred Huxley’s Ability to Predict Society Through a Brave New World
When Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World he envisioned many aspects of society that would change in the next six hundred years. Although in his time some of the new trends that he mentioned might have seemed absurd and morally wrong, I do not believe he was far from the truth. In my opinion, certain aspects in society such as human sexuality and entertainment have changed towards Huxley’s perspective. First, I think that Huxley

Pardon the hyperbole, but I wonder if we can't trace a goodly portion of the decline of Western culture in just the drop-off from Walt Disney's Pinocchio to Steven Spielberg's A.

While just about all people are very open about their thoughts and personal feelings, Bernard is very secretive about many of his thoughts and actions. For instance, when Lenina tries to talk to him about “having her,” his face goes pale and he insists that they discuss it in private (pg 58). He seems to be very concerned
