John the Savage
Nobody understands why Mustapha Mund would let such a creature into our society. This “boy” was born out of a mother in the reservation. This has bad news written all over it! Just because his father was the D.H.C. it does not mean that he should get special treatment. This outsider to society should be placed back into the reservation immediately and his mother should be killed! His mother, who grew up in the New World should have known better than to have a child. Having John living in this society which just causes people to ask questions they should not be asking. Also, more people will now want to visit the reservation which is an extremely awful idea because of the painfully memorable images that people will see there. Our society as of now is perfect and it does not need an outsider with unorthodox views to come destroy it. John Savage, Linda Savage, and Bernard Marx should be permanently exiled back to the reservation. Peoples who compromise thesocial stability of the New World need to be terminated as soon as possible. Everybody should go meet him and then realize that he just does not have a place in our society.

    St John the Divine

    • 729 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The Cathedral of Saint John the Divine is simply breathtaking. From the exterior to the interior of the cathedral, you can find plentiful amounts of highly sophisticated bodies of work. Before laying a foot inside, the massive bronze doors containing forty-eight relief panels depicting scenes from the Old and New Testament catches the eyes of many. Also, many note the exquisite statues and carvings of saints and Jesus all along the Western Front of the Cathedral. Once inside, the enormous pilier-cantonnés stand along the nave aisle, where it erects up into the ceiling. Eventually, the columns meet with one another at four angles, creating a quadripartite vault in the nave ceiling. The stained glass windows that lines the entire cathedral strikes your retina at all different angles as you rotate your body. A little beyond the crossing, the high altar contains a magnificent cross, as well as an iron tomb of the man who founded the cathedral. If you focus the eyes just behind the choir, you will glare at seven stunning radial chapels—each one representing an apostle, a patron, or immigrant. But out of all the marvelous artwork within and outside the chapel, there was one particular window that caught my attention.…

    Andrew Jackson became the nation’s seventh president in 1829. He made significant changes in American politics at that time. He was very popular with the people because of the fact that he was a hero of the War of 1812. He had also served in the senate and was a tough man who had manifested the spirit of the frontier. One change Jackson brought about was the steadily increasing power of the west. He happened to be the first president to come from the west of the Appalachians and was also the start of a new era of democracy in American politics. President Jackson did not approve of a overpowering or controlling federal government. He felt the national government should be the least involved as possible as he vetoed many acts of congress in his term as president. He believed that the state should build the road and not the national government. Jackson’s idea of a limited government shared the beliefs of many Americans who feared the power of the federal government. Although many crisis did occur during Jackson's term as President like the Nullification Crisis, Indian Removal Act and the Bank War, Jackson was always a supporter of a limited federal government.…

    Additionally, McQuail cites Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud as inspirations for Huxley’s novel, pointing out juxtapositions of their philosophies within the novel. Instead of seeking to “[abolish] class differences… [to] abolish alienation” (McQuail 33) as Marx advocates, Huxley creates a strict caste system in which, eventually, there have to be alienated individuals to drive the story. Bernard Marx, marked by his name as the main proponent of this theory, struggles with looking like a member of an inferior caste, a severing trait that eventually leads to his exile. Bernard’s singularity attracts John to him, and John’s story follows Huxley’s second inspiration, Sigmund Freud. Freud suggests that “psychological conflicts are caused by the nuclear family and sexual repression” (McQuail 36). John, the only non-Native American in the world not decanted and conditioned, “embodies the alienation caused by Freudian complexes” (McQuail…

    Bernard rails noisily about the savagery of the framework. His shock originates from the shameful acts he endures by and by, and especially since he’s an alpha. When Bernard gets the sexual and social consideration he feels some acceptance, he sees no reason and feels no good or social regret to battle for the privileges of others persecuted by the social framework. Despite the fact that John, similar to Bernard, experiences the persecution of the World State, John can outline his complaints logically and talk about the issue up close and personal with World Controller Mustapha Mond on the grounds that, in spite of the fact that John is hereditarily an Alpha In addition, he has not experienced the molding important to accommodate. John's acknowledgment of a free human existence with all its risks and rewards speaks to an optimistic stand outside Bernard's ability to understand. Before the end of the novel, every one of the endeavors to free the person from the grasp of the World State have fizzled. Just Helmholtz and Bernard, headed for expulsion in the Falkland Islands, speak to the likelihood of a slight trust and restricted opportunity inside the limits of a binding society. The fight for distinction and flexibility closes with thrashing in Brave New World. Returned to, a…

    He seems to agree with The Controller, but he seems to understand the concept of advocating for the freedom to be unhappy. The Controller is another character who seems to be completely uncomprehending of the idea that someone would want the freedom to be unhappy. The Savage is another character who seems to have been around since before the beginning of this sort of era, or someone who sees the benefits of the past. The Savage is somewhat lost for words in this discussion, as much of what someone from the modern age appreciates seems to be gone completely. Little is said about the setting however the beginning of the passage implies that they are all alone. The characters seem to be named after how they are viewed in this society aside from Mustapha. The characters are very much created by their environments, it seems. They are all named after their ideology in a way, one advocates the freedom…

Talk to people the way you want to be talked to. Respect is earned, not given.”(Hussein Nishah).…

    Night John

    • 820 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Sarny, a 12-year-old slave girl in the ante-bellum south, faces a relatively hopeless life. Her chief duties at the plantation of Clel Waller are serving at table, spitting tobacco juice on roses to prevent bugs, and secretly conveying intimate messages between Waller 's wife, Callie, and Dr. Chamberlaine. Then Nightjohn arrives. A former runaway slave who bears telltale scars on his back, he takes Sarny under his wing and, in exchange for a pinch of tobacco, secretly begins to teach her to read and write a crime punishable by death. "Words," he says, "are freedom. Slavery is made of words: laws, deeds, and passes." He starts by drawing letters in the dirt and cautions her that no one must know. At her baptism, Sarny steals a Bible that belongs to Waller 's son, Jeffrey, and practices reading by lantern-light in the slave quarters. The same Bible serves another purpose when, on a blank page taken from it, Nightjohn forges a pass for Outlaw, a young slave, to use in escaping to freedom in the North with his beloved Egypt, a slave on another plantation. Waller finds the Bible and demands to know who stole it. Delie, who cared for Sarny as a child, fears for her now and accepts the blame. However, Nightjohn forestalls the lashing Delie is to receive, saying he is the one, for he can read. He tries to run away but is caught and his hand is tied to a chopping block. With an ax, Waller delivers the severing blow, exacting the brutal penalty for Nightjohn 's literacy. As he is dragged off to be sold, he tells Sarny, "When they cut off one hand, the other hand grows stronger." The historical references used in the movie were accurate in a sense that if Sarney were a real person she would have experienced life just as he described it. His portrayal of an abusive slaveholder and the forbiddance of an education to slaves are mostly correct when comparing it to the narrative of Fredrick Douglas’ experiences. Although Gary Paulsen may have exaggerated at times, I feel as if his…
