Blogging for AP English: Brave New World

In the beginning Aldous Huxley explains how the world has evolve. Through vivid details he expresses how human beings are already predestined for a determine job or role for there entire life. Unfortunately I totally disagree with a world that people aren't allowed to reach their full potential the way they want to.Although someone choosing your career for you can make life simpler as far as this decision is concerned. So my question to everyone is this a kind of world where you could tolerate living in? Having someone make the important decisions in YOUR life, or not being able to conceive without the consent of someone that's has no connection to the child, through specialized bottles. Is this right...is this utopia a real utopia for everyone or for a certain someone how feels they deserve this power?

    The people how they are raised in this world most likely wouldn't tolerate their lives being mapped out for them. The people in Huxley's book are taught to "tolerate" this. They are not taught anything else, so they don't know anything else.

    I agree that their world is much simpler than ours. Ours is complex with competitions and earnings, but in their world, they do not need to earn anything, it is all given to them. The fact that they are born with everything already destined to them causes them to lose many opportunities in life. They do not have to worry about their future like we do; their everyday lives are planned, unlike ours. Daily obstacles enter our lives; therefore, we encounter much more challenges than the characters in Brave New World, and other books with utopian societies. I would honestly love to experience their lives, but not permanently. How about you?
