Brave New World

This novel really helps put together the common theme of all the other books we have read for the class. Every author paints a picture about what the future could be like, and a clash of good and bad beliefs/morals. With Brave new world they turn humans into a mass production. Individualism is erased from people. Like in A clockwork orange it comes into to the question of choice and free will. Is it better that they don't know how to be an individual and are predestined into society? or should they have the choice to be whatever they want in the world? I think its a bad situation because people cant further themselves. Once a gamma always a gamma. They are stuck in that class and trained to discriminate against the other classes. Over all though i like the book, i think its a bit confusing at times but when you clear it up it raises good questions.
