Brave New World

In English class we have just finished the book Brave New World. The opinion the author had was upsetting, and for his time must have been scary. Believing that the world would come to what he wrote, however; no matter how hard the world may try to hide it, somethings that he had foreseen has come to be true.

Examples of this is: within Morganton The Kite Runner is banned for the school. When less than five years ago it was fine to read. Like Mustapha Mond's job was to ban certain books and make new outrageous laws, the school board is now doing the same things. Models and Television have made an image that they think people should look and act like today. Clothes should be from high designers, hair looks the newest ways, and so many shoes that you can't even remember you had them. Don't mend them throw them away and buy new ones was the saying in Brave New World. This would stand to be another example that Aldous Huxley's for telling is coming to be.

Some of his idea's I agree with; it's going to come. Yet sometimes they are way off and will never happen, or so I hope. Aldous Huxley has one of those weird minds that not many have nor wish to have, but has the ability to make you think, never the less.
