Frustrated & Clueless

Well, what can I say about this blog? I guess I can start out by being truthful and the truth is that I have no idea what to write about. Honestly, I have only read up to chapter eight and so I really do not know what I can say about the book as a whole. Therefore, this 300 word requirement is going to be quite challenging for me. I know that we were supposed to be through to chapter fourteen by tomorrow, but I’m not there yet so yeah. Hopefully I will be caught up in the book by Friday, but knowing my luck Mr. Dominguez is probably going to be like “Class, finish the book by Friday.” Anyway, of what I’ve read so far, a few ideas are floating in my head.

In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Huxley portrays a perfect society in which there is acceptance and happiness.

In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Huxley portrays a society in which its’ citizens can be considered machines due to their development and growth.

In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Huxley challenges religion with the coming of Ford society.

For now, these are the only big ideas that come to my mind for when I write my essay. Hopefully I stick with them, but knowing me I always have trouble with essays so who knows. Also, since these thesis sentences so far are pretty bad, I’m probably going to tweak them when the prompt is given to me.

Since I still need to write about another 100 words or so, I think I’ll elaborate on my topics. In general, I guess I’m trying to say that in Huxley’s novel a world that is to be considered perfect is the total opposite of ours. In a way, it seems like the novel is criticizing our world today. Yet, how can it be because it was written before our time. Therefore, I somewhat think of it as a warning to our society today. I guess with the rapid advancements of technology these days, this “brave new world” is a possibility.

So I’m about done now. I don’t really have much more to say and since that last chunk as exactly 100 words, I think I’m permitted to stop. Anyway, hopefully when I make my two comments, more ideas will come rushing to me. Yet, that will most like not happen.
Okay, bye now. =]]
