bLoG ThReE (overall view on book)

When I first began to read this book, it seemed very boring and I found it hard to keep on going with it. The story starts out at the "Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre" in the fertilizing room. So it really isn't very exciting to me. The boog doesn't begin to make me want to read on more until Chapter 6 when they talk about going to visit the "savages". Then, when they bring a savage back to London, the story REALLY captures my attention because that's when the problems sart that eventually lead to the chaos. The story ends with the death (suicide) of the savage, but the book still goes on. The author, Aldous Huxley, goes on to explain real life things and and more stuff about the book. The only part that interested me was the part when he talked about the "soma" which was the drug that helped the society to function. Overall, I liked the book, but I wouldn't suggest it to the simple-minded.

I recently pretty much ended this book. The rest is just the preface. But the ending in a way was sad. "The Savage" hung himself because of all the negative attention that was directed towards him. But before all of this, The Savage chose to live a different life. He wanted to feel pain, and sorrow, and all the things you couldn't feel or be before. If he never decided to do that, he may be still alive right now. The story ends with a group of people, that came to watch him in his odd ways, realize his front door is slightly open. They go inside wondering where he is. It doesn't acutally say that he hung himself. This here is the passage Huxley uses to hint at the event, "The door of the lighthouse was ajar. They pushed it open and walked into a shuttered twilight. Through an archway on the further side of the room they could see the bottom of the staricase that led up to the higher floors. Just under the crown of the arch dangled a pair of feet." And then he says, " Slowly, very slowly, like two unhurried compass needles, the feet turned towards the right; north, north-east, east, south-east, south, south-south-west; then paused, and, after a few seconds runed as unhurriedly back towards the left. South-south-west, south, south-east, east...."

Brave New World 1

So far in the book, Brave New World, they are currently in with the "savages". This book has been kind of confusing and hard to follow. It was quite slow at first and I lost interest in the book. But I kept on reading and the book kept on getting better. This story has made me wonder how my life would be if I were a character in this book. I don't think I would like it very much. But then again, I'd be raised as a child in their peculiar ways so I most likely wouldn't mind it. It seems like there is a lot of sexual activities that go on. And they start being sexual active at an early age. And the "savages" are like Native Americans. I'm not sure who the narrrator is right now.
