This Brave New World story is like nothing I've ever read before, very unusual and different, like children born to dislike and like certain things. Starting to read this book was really idiotic. My whole perspective on this book has changed, I didn't think it would go the way it did. This story was very different from all the books I have read. In a way we can compare some of the things read in this novel to some things that happen in life today. At the beginning of this world, children are born without others giving birth to them, the eggs are instead fertilized, then subjected to Bokanovsky, the children are essentially cloned. In the process of their birth they are made to dislike and like things that ask no questions about their life in a dictatorship. I feel like it's not fair that they can't grow up to like and dislike what they want, but they need to be told in a way. To me they are taking away the freedom of people who can't really think or do anything for themselves. The company. The lifestyle described in this book is crazy. We started to stumble upon another piece of the puzzle (pattern): this society/world is addicted to a drug known as soma. Soma helps people when they are upset to feel anything but happy. In the minds of the creators this is a happy place, a place where everyone should always be happy and/or excited, but are people in society really happy? They don't live a normal life like others who are controlled. Some of them really don't like using soma, like in the book when Lenina told Bernard to take some soma and he didn't want to because he didn't like the way the drug made him feel, he liked the normal feeling. Another thing in this book was sexual activity as all... middle of paper... is as powerful as you would think and can just as well ruin a world as it can fix it. In this new people don't really live the life they would like to live, they are afraid of being themselves. They have so many emotions built up in them and they can't express them. This was a really big deal in this novel, emotions shouldn't build up, everyone deserves their own way of life, they deserve to live how they want. Is this the kind of world people want to live in? People who take drugs to keep themselves happy. Like Bernard was tired of taking soma and being happy, because he said he didn't take it anymore, it's a crazy world. This novel in a way could perhaps teach why you should do your own thing and be yourself because you won't love being dictated to. People who brainwash you and make you always be happy and not having your emotions you may sometimes feel trapped.
