Journal 1 Brave New World Topic C

In Brave New World, the author sets the story as everyone is made artificially. Everyone is a perfect replica of everyone else. There are certain rankings and specific jobs and places that each person is given but everyone in general can not function without each other. Special medicine is given to keep everyone happy and free of any other human emotions. People are conditioned to certain extents and are taught values which makes the perfect society. Some hope that the author gives? There is the The Savage who has a completely different mind set then those of the Dystopian society. He has different morals and different perspectives on his own ideas. Such as love, when him and Lenina are together love is defined as two different meanings between the two. Or the fact that God is some old thing locked up and put away and a new religion is formed to stay with the present. All these new ideas from being out in the open on a reservation to being brought back to the perfect society and having to become accustomed to the different way of life style is a big leap and challenge for the Savage.
