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.

  1. I definitely agree that it is wrong to take away someones ability to choose. Even though everyone is happy in the book, it's not fair.
