Brave New World: After the End of Chapter Three
Brave New World – After the end of chapter three.

A Cracked, cobbled path lead the way to another building. A few abandoned flowers lead the way to the door. Somewhat bewildered by the amount of knowledge they had taken in, but eager to learn more, the students scurried after the Director.

Bells shrieked out like nails on a chalk board and at once every child straightened up and remained silent sitting at their desks. “So today you will all learn, Community, Identity, and Stability”. “Community, Identity and Stability”. “Community, Identity, and Stability”… This was drummed into the children’s heads like a broken record. The tick of a clock was the only sound you could hear at any given pause. Block A, west wing. Every window on the right side of this classroom, and the three which stood by the side of it, were tinted. You could only see through them with squinted eyes, and even then shadows were the only things which were just about visible. Keeping the children naive about the metres of embryos which dominated the east of the building was to be followed up until high school. High school however, is simply where you begin to learn the skills needed and what is expected of you for your job. The job you are given from birth.

The Director flung open the door and impatiently shooed the students towards the back of the room. Mr Seventeen brought a scrunched up tissue from his pocket, patted down his forehead and shuffled from foot to foot whilst stuttering “yes, oh yes the record...umm..right” “Eloise Applegate, Daniel Applegate, Sophie Applegate…Harold Brook, Katie Brook, Simon Brook. As if they all were slightly off-white shy sheep, they answered their names. No-one looked up when answering their name. This was probably in fear to catch eye contact with anyone, as this would have been seen as secrecy.

Simon Brook was the runt of the class. It is unknown why he never grew. He portrayed a pale face that would make anyone think him sick. Small spectacles

    Jonathan Kozol illustrates a grim reality about the unequal attention given to urban and suburban schools. The legendary Supreme Court case Brown v Board of Education ended segregation in public schools in America because the Court determined that “separate but equal is inherently unequal.” Over a half century after that landmark case, Kozol shows everyone involved in the education system that public schools are still separate and, therefore, still unequal. Suburban schools, which are primarily made up of white students, are given a far superior education than urban schools, which are primarily made up of Hispanics and African Americans. In “Still Separate and Still Unequal”, Kozol, through logos, pathos, and vivid imagery, effectively reveals to people that, even though the law prohibits discrimination in public schools, several American schools are still segregated and treated differently in reality.…

    In 2016 it is estimated that 64,000 people die of drug overdoses per year. Huxley’s society “The World State” is a dystopian society, yes the men and women that don't partake in controlling the society seem to be happy in what they consider a utopia, but the people who do control “The World State” like the world controller Mustapha Mond and people like John The Savage, are victims of the true nature of reality. In the novel “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley, some of the fantasies that are now a reality in our society include substance abuse, openness to sex and genetic engineering or the use of technologies to control and manipulate its population. One of the fantasies that “Brave New World” portrays that is now a reality for some people…

    The first three chapters of Huxley's Brave New World already show the alarming, but all the same mind-blowing differences between our society and the futuristic society that the novel presents. The reader gains knowledge of the orthodox but profoundly strange ways of the fictitious world through a tour given by the Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning to new students at the building. In these pages, I especially noticed the peculiar way babies are made, born, nurtured, and raised. There are no mothers nor fathers and there is absolutely no need for them since babies come out of bottles and are all taken care of together by nurses. Babies are conditioned and taught(or brainwashed, as one may say) through sleep-teaching and several other…

    The Oxford Living English Dictionary defines character as “The mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual.” Within the realm of literature the same word typically refers to “a person and occasionally personified animal or idea that forwards the plot in a work of literature” . It is expected that characters in a piece of writing have just that - character. In some rare cases, however, the characters in an author’s work may lack distinctive personality traits that set them apart from others. One such of these cases is the book Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley. The element of character plays an integral and thought provoking role in Huxley’s novel by being seemingly absent from all but a few characters. These few characters, when…

    Brave New World is a novel written in the early 1930’s about a Utopian society where everyone lives in peace and harmony with each other and with themselves. However we may not perceive it as such as the author of the novel, Aldous Huxley, has used this Utopia to describe a Dystopia he feels will soon be reflective of our own world. He expresses that this New World is nothing but flawed as this peace and harmony is only an illusion, being achieved by the blissful state of ignorance the entire society live in. These flaws are visible throughout the basis of society; social, intellectual, educational, political, religious and economical structures in The World State in Brave New World.…

    Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is a dystopian novel that shows the dangers of letting scientific progress take over society while also exemplifying the fear of many people that science and progress will eventually remove humanity's individualism and free will, although individuals will remain and rise up to make a difference. This is Huxley's most famous novel, and for the right reasons. Huxley demonstrates his ability to create a world not unlike one that could happen in real life. Many critics and readers agree that Huxley's tale is hauntingly accurate in comparison to what has happened in the world since the 1930s regarding advancements, and that his story has left an impact on society.…

    Everyone strives to be the best at all times. Some attempt to neglect their past because they see it as a way to advance themselves personally. Past actions are significant because they explain how one evolves throughout life. Golda Meir once said, “One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.” It is impossible to change the past. Due to the lack of an alternative, the past must be used as a reference so mistakes are not repeated. Aldous Huxley efficiently demonstrates a society that neglects their past and forces others to believe in what is considered a “fresh, new start.” To ensure success in the future, there must be little to no deficiencies in one’s actions. There must be a past to compare…

    Children sit in schools all across America and are urged to standing up to bullies – told how one person, no matter how small, can benefit the present and the future with his or her actions or words. Children return home at night all across America to hear snippets of the news from the kitchen table: a racial protest on yet another college campus, a terrorist attack overseas, and a new report delineating the disadvantages women face in the workplace. Children all across America stage a class walk-out, just to be met by stern-faced officials pointing fingers, scolding them, and telling them they cannot disobey – can never disobey.…

    I grew up in Coney Island, Brooklyn in the 90’s. I lived in one of its many New York City housing developments. As a child I can remember the elevators and stairwells of my building smelling rank from urine. I can still see and feel the bullet holes under our mailbox from a shootout that happened under my bedroom window when I was seven. The chain fences that squared off all the grass areas of our complex. I can still see the poorly painted monkey bars, and the wood-chipped seesaws on the black tarmacs behind our building. Across the street and a little more than half way into the block was my second elementary school. I can’t quite remember why I had to leave the first one, but The Surfside School is where I have most of my elementary school…

    A school in Manhattan around 1995: “The school is a ten-story building with 12 science labs, five gyms, an Olympic swimming pool, an elegant theater, a rooftop satellite dish that captures data for meteorologic computations, 450 IBM and Macintosh computers...Of the students that attend this school, 9% are black and Hispanic" (Kozol, 170-171) A school that has beautiful, new equipment that shows its population of 91% white students that the stars are the limit. By contrast, just a few neighborhoods away in the South Bronx, a place commonly known for being full people of color living in poverty, “1,300 children did not even have a school but an abandoned skating rink that had no windows…” (Kozol, 171-172) This horrifying excuse for a learning environment filled with students who are mostly black and Hispanic compared to the new, well funded school filled with white students. All things considered, when education systems know white students will be attending a certain school they are more likely to provide better education that, because of segregation and any biases toward people of color or those living in poverty, are not supplied to many children of…

    Jonathan Kozol talks about the observations and conversations that he had with students and teachers while visiting Freemont High School. Kozol explains that Freemont High School is a dilapidated facility where “the average ninth grade student reads at fourth or fifth grade level” (705). Kozol then went on about a conversation that he was having with a group of students when one in particular, Mireya, began complaining that she did not want to be forced to take classes that she felt would have no impact on her education or future. Mireya made her point very clear when she said, “I did not need sewing either. I knew how to sew. My mother is a seamstress in a factory. I’m…
