The Final Blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This have been a successful semester in the spring course of Into to Literature. The theme of the class have been very interesting. All of the novels that I read was a success I enjoyed all of the books. The different disscusions that we have talked about in claas had really put a toll on the furtue that is waiting for us. I do believe that this genearation is bulit on technology and the media, but thats the way that the geneartion was brung up. However that doesn't explain why some of the people in the geneartion dont know any knowledege. According to Mark Bauerlin the geneartion is dumbed downed because we focus more on popluar culture. In which I believe is true because the youth of this generation does rely on popluar culture alot. Moreover, the books makes one look at the world differently and how it may come about in the years. It makes me wonder if our society is going to be ran as a dictarship or are we going to walk around with chips implanted in our heads. The idea of having chip under our skin was already in the thought process. This class has really put a spin on things and Im very glad that I had the opprunity to have this class.

Thematic Connections

In class today there have been different value statements that was brought about, in which people in the class took different stands on. One that I strongly disagree with is statement that " Prozac and other psychological drugs are used much like Soma is used in Brave New World to make "diffcult" people less of a burden on society.

When people take drugs or Soma I dont think it takes the burden off society, because the people that drink or do drugs hurts the society. I know personally that I dont want to see people dragging themselves around my community or doing stupid actions just because they're not thinking properly. Also I believe people become diffcult when they take pills or drugs just to deal with problems. Life isn't easy everything cant be sweet and given to one at his or her feet.

Brave New World

The beginning of the book Brave New World was very interesting. The book started off in the Hatchery, thats where the life of all the people in the community starts. The motto that the people follow is Community, Identity, and Stability. I believe that the people live in a community but they dont operate as an unit. In most communities everyone interact in some type of way and they are socially active towards one another. In the book people may socailize themselves with only the people thats in his or her own caste systems. However the community is organized and have order, but having so much order elimates the right to have choice. Who wants to have their choice taken from them?
The government of the book controls everyone and everything that goes on in the book. The people only know the knowlege that was taught to them. There is nothing more or nothing less. The people are trained by their caste systems so that they can function in the world. There is a social class within the people some grow to be smart and some come out to be poor. I feel as though its wrong for people to not having a choice to make their own mistakes before some tell them how their life is going to be.
