Brave new world post #3

1. I didn't understand it very well, but my theory is that he used to go out with her and is ashamed of what she as become. He did not want to see that, so he quit. I still am not too sure, so this is my only answer for now.



2. This is another thing I was not sure of. I think he is becoming popular because a savage is unusual and people want to study him and get to know an actual savage.



3. I thought that he would kill her because she did something without his permission. It was violation of personal space and sort of a rape. He had every right to kill her, even though it wasn't right.



4. Primrose-Pale yellow
Crematorium-A furnace or establishment for the incineration of corpses
Grotesquely-In an odd, unnatural, fantastically ugly, absurd, or bizarre manner

Brave new world post #1

1. I think that his other feeling is telling someone that he likes that he likes her. I always feel that way, so I should know.

2.
A. The new future reminds me of racism, because the racists think of themselves as Alphas, and the others as Epsilons.
B. This future has it's perks, but having your destiny chosen is a dissapointment. The future is much worse than now.

3.
A. Freemason-someone part of the world's oldest and largest fraternity.
Erotic-an asthetic focus on sexual desire
Bokanovskify-mass cloning, sets of 96 identical twins
B. Soma-Drugs
Savages-Indians

Brave new world leader post #1

1. Do you think that making humans unnaturally is good or bad? Why? If there are pros/cons, what are they?

2. Do you think splitting humans into groups Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma, and Elipson are good or not? Do you think that they should all have different traits which are not fixed like us, or have their destiny set like the book currently says?

3. Why do you think the author writes hopping from person to person speaking in chapter three? What is your opinion on it? (pros/cons, good or bad)
