Brave New World Bernard Quotes

The book describes John as a “sharp and even-tempered man” whereas the article not, not so much.

When Lenina becomes infatuated with John, she begins to lose all of her former morals. Instead of wanting to be with everyone Lenina begins her focus on just John. Lenina's obsession with John directly contradicts the World State's idea of having everyone. Lenina expresses to John that she "wanted you so much", which implies that Lenina was focused on John, when there were plenty of other options.(Huxley 130) Huxley wants again illustrates how Lenina is confused because she starts to feel a sort of love for John, but still recognizes her morals. She later tells John to "kiss me till I'm in a coma", which is against John's morals(Huxley 131). While Lenina has learned portions about John's culture, she still doesn’t fully understand John's convictions, and out of marriage John would not do such a thing. Her ignorance of John's culture is there to show how her lack of knowledge influences how she perceives her own morals compared to John's morals. She couldn't possibly fully understand John's ethics, because they are directly adverse to each other, and Lenina's conditioning was too strong to overcome. Huxley effectively uses Lenina's contradictions in the end to continue the idea that ignorance can alter

This is made clear as Bernard showcases the advanced civilization to John and John seems either unimpressed or confused about the whole situation. This is exemplified when John visits both the library and the Television Corporation factory as the savage learns about daily soma rations of the lower castes and the absence of Shakespeare in the World State. (Pg 164-165). As John continues to explore the world around him it is made very clear that he dislikes and is simply a square peg trying to fit into a circular hole, though John isn’t really trying to fit in moreover just blindly following others direction. This becomes clear to John as Bernard begins parading him around at parties as some kind of entertainment and after finally rejecting to go to one of Bernard's party the reader can see how much John is simply a tool that Bernard is using for his own social gain. This leaves John feeling unhappy and causes Bernard to make the remark “You’re more like what you were at Malpais,”. Bernards failure to realize how to help John adjust and the parts of him that are unable to change gives the reader better insight as to why John is failing to enjoy his time in

The utopian society in the Brave New World can be compared and contrasted between our contemporary society using individualism, community and the human experience. The fictional novel by Aldous Huxley, published in 1932, is about a utopian society where people focus stability and community over individuality and freedom, but an outsider is introduced to intervene with the operation of the utopian state. In the contemporary world, people need to show individuality in their communities in order to survive, and to be human, one must show emotion, which is the opposite in the Brave New World.

In the novel, The Secret Life of Bees, I related to the character Lily Owens right at chapter one. In the first chapter of this novel, Lily was describing herself as a visual for readers. While Lily was briefly explaining her physical appearance, the line, “…Even the boys who wore their hair in ducktails dripping with Vitalis and carried combs in their shirt pockets didn’t seem to attracted to me, and they were considered hard up” (Monk Kidd 9), relates to many young girls. I, as a teenager, criticize myself very harshly just because a boy may not like me and that is what Lily is doing in this passage. I feel that Lily feeling this type of way and expressing it helped me to connect to her right from the beginning and put myself into her shoes

Throughout the story, the emotional experience of the concept of nature remains morose and melancholic with a dash of hope that dies at the climax of the story. Right from the start, readers are given constant hints that nature is stronger than man. For example, in the very beginning, “a man was fighting his way to the door” (261). This small quote in itself, shows the struggle man faces against an effortless, natural environment. When the men are trying to “offer the smallest possible surface to the attack of the cold” (262), the wording personifies nature as it is giving the cold an action. From plentiful quotes like

The story “By The Water Of Babylon”, written by Stephen Vincent Benet, has a plethora of aspects of literary elements that depict the story. The following analyzes the story using the seven elements of fiction.

Within his core, the essence of man’s being remains encapsulated, serving as “a first cause, a fount of energy, a life force, [and] a Prime Mover.” When the substance that constructs man is subdued, however, the flow of liquid creation that gushes from the fountain of innovation empowering mankind dries up. In Ayn Rand’s novella Anthem, the quintessential society of the modern day is reversed, consequently leading to the emergence of a darkened futuristic world where humans are forced to become masked shadows behind the cloak of an altruistic society. From the perspective of Equality 7-2521, the grapple between surrendering to conformity or rising to freedom takes place within himself as he navigates through the current lifeless state of his

Resilience. This word can be applied to both humans and nature, but in the end it is nature that will endure. In Norman Maclean’s novel, A River Runs Through It, the author shows just how powerful nature can be and just how frail humans are. This story centers around the art of fly fishing, family, and the Bible. While fly fishing takes place in nature, Maclean draws a distinct line between human skill and the creativity needed to make that skill an art. Maclean also delineates between the nature that this art takes place and the rest of the world. In this novel, nature is magnificent and awe-inspiring, making the characters feel small in comparison. However, nature provides a source of stability and solace. Throughout the novel, continuity and eternality of the natural

I wrote a diary about Lenina’s thoughts in the Brave new world society. As a principal character, Lenina represents a model citizen that always follows its policies. But I think that inside herself she has desires and disagreements with it. Bernard´s behavior mentally confuses her, because he was always complaining about the governments ' ideologies and opposing to take soma. Which was dangerous because she likes him. The tone I use is informal and hopes to reach school students and adults audience.

Ayn Rand’s Anthem depicts a collectivist society where no man is allowed to be an individual. Due to this society making the people believe that there is no “I” but only a “we” the people of the community blindly believe what the higher power tells them. The people in the society of Anthem live with jobs that the head of the government give them and emotion is pushed to the side, all leading to Equality questioning and eventually breaking the law. Equality is a symbol of identity within Anthem who rebels against the system secretly. The ideals and rules of a collectivist society represented in Anthem by Ayn Rand show that collectivism is not an efficient way to create peace and order in a society. The society that Ayn Rand created was only

Have you ever imagined a world where there was no such thing as the word “I”? In the book “Anthem” written by Ayn Rand, the society is the only thing people know and are familiar with. Equality 7-2521 lives in a world where he does not even know himself. Exploring, learning, and experimenting is beyond forbidden. Throughout the book Equality learns who he is and why he grew up the way he grew up. Therefore Equality envisions a new society at the end of the book, that does not involve “We” as in the government of collectivists but more “I” as in individuality.

Some small acts, can change a country.

John and Alex may seem completely on opposite planes, but in fact, they have a few things in common. Both John and Alex were very determined in that Alex was passionate about getting to the safe house “"The government has safe houses all over the country, all we have to do is find a way to get in and we will have all the fresh food and air we 've been dreaming of...It 's too early in the morning for one of your silly ideas. I 'm going back to sleep... I 'm leaving with or without you...", and John was driven to build a civilization when he said “We must build again.” Another way Alex and John are similar is that they are both stubborn. When Sloan told Alex that the safe house had guards that would kill her if she tries to enter, she still insisted on going and asking to pass through the doors. “We can 't just get in, they are armed, so we need to take them....No! Absolutely not. No one is dying...All we need to do is go down there, hack into the security system and once were in, we can just ask them to live with them ” John also insisted in following his spirit and enter the forbidden land despite the fact his father told him not to. “It is forbidden to travel east” said his father, yet he had and urge and did it.” Then three dear passed in the valley going

The cool, upland air, flooding through the everlasting branches of the lively tree, as it casts a vague shadow onto the grasses ' fine green. Fresh sunlight penetrates through the branches of the tree, illuminating perfect spheres of water upon its green wands. My numb and almost transparent feet are blanketed by the sweetness of the scene, as the sunlight paints my lips red, my hair ebony, and my eyes honey-like. The noon sunlight acts as a HD camera, telling no lies, in the world in which shadows of truth are the harshest, revealing every flaw in the sight, like a toddler carrying his very first camera, taking pictures of whatever he sees. My head looks down at the sight of my cold and lifeless feet, before making its way up to the reaching arms of an infatuating tree, glowing brightly virescent at the edges of the trunk, inviting a soothing, tingling sensation to my soul. I feel it radiating into my blood, as my heart skips a beat. Soon, enlightened by a beating pair of wings effortlessly moving up and down, more fragile than the glass that once was sitting on the edge of the table. The fluttering pair of painted silk wings circles my front, as another pair comes into sight, creating a delicate breeze that brushes past my quilted cold cheeks. I manage to smile at the picturesque view in front of me, sending a warm satisfaction to my body as it sparks my heart and floods my eyes with tear-filled blur.
