Transcendentalism In Brave New World

To bring awareness to the instabilities in the world authors like George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, and many more generate a certain genre of writing classified as dystopian fiction, which manifests the flaws our society possess. These texts captivatingly link to the world today, and often identify crucial problems in society such as totalitarianism, conformity, and technology. Total government control limits freedoms and forces society to unwilling submit to serving the country and interest of the government, not themselves. In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World “power has been centralized and government control increased” (Huxley XIV) thusly the people in the Brave New World Society are confined to a bubble of freedoms; this has several implications. First, society's watch on the government has been eclipsed, giving government the ability to act freely without any punishment or resistance from its people.

In Brave New World, people can only escape reality and get happiness by consuming Soma. Like what Lenina says, “A gramme in time saves nine” (Huxley 77), people in Brave New World depend only on soma to ensure their “freedom” and “happiness.” This is but an illusion of freedom, since Soma controls people’s feelings, making them only to feel happy. On the other hand, in Never Let Me Go, the government gives the donors opportunity to delay their donation by becoming carers. In this case, they get the freedom to choose when they want to donate, but not the right to the ultimate choice: whether they want to donate or not. As a result, eople in both cases do not have the actual freedom.

It all started September 1st, 1939, when the Second World War occurred and ruined the lives of many Jews, Germans, and other people who were included in the war. There were many heroes though, and one of them is Albert Goering. He did so many courageous things to save the Jews, he blossomed and surprised many people, his brother being one of them. He tricked, killed, and saved quite a bit of citizens. He couldn’t save everyone, but the ones he did save are very grateful that they got to live to see the sun another day.

In a book about a tragic love story, one would not expect to find a deeper meaning behind the dangers of jealousy or peril of lust. However, in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, there is a deeper meaning beyond jealousy and love. In The Great Gatsby, the author uses an empathetic storyline as a symbol to unwittingly give a complex depiction of the nuisance that people create that not only destroy our world but our society and gives warning to what will occur if we continue the path of destruction. With this intention, the brilliant opinionated writer, expressed his opinion through symbols such as the characters he uses, the setting the story takes place in, and the objects he uses in the book. Foremost, F. Scott Fitzgerald uses characters to symbolize the diabolical traits within a person.

Reagan mentions these facts in his “Tear Down this Wall Speech” to make everyone listening realize that Berlin has come a long ways in a short period of time. Ronald Reagan said, “From devastation, from utter ruin, you Berliners have, in freedom, rebuilt a city that once again ranks as one of the greatest on Earth.” He uses facts to get this point across to all of the listeners around the world, and by doing so, he has indirectly won the favor of

Winston Churchill uses this powerful tool in the anticipation of encouraging America to insure peace in the world and to always continue in preparation to aid an ally in desperate need of their help. With each sentence he layered sarcasm upon desperation, his disappointment and frustrating in the United States, he layered a tone of complete seriousness to illustrate the peril of the situation, and with his choice of words he painted the scenes of terror and brutality occurring overseas in other countries. While an inanimate object can cause pain that will that will never last long, words can cause wounds that may never fully heal, yet with the right wielder words can also cause motivation that could make a difference in the

Could the modern world be heading toward an impending societal collapse? Haunting similarities between our civilization and those that have risen and fallen in the past suggest that yes, we could be heading down that road; however, the most disturbing thing is that we could be the ones culpable. This the crux of what Jared Diamond wants to get across to readers, and what he has surely gotten across to me, of his novel Collapse, particularly as it pertains to Easter Island and its society. He believes, as do I, that Easter Island and its undoing is a metaphor for our world — if we do not do something now, we will end up just like the peoples whom we learn about in our history books. I have seen parallels between us and them exist in sudden population

A central tenet is that the means of production is the economic base that influences or determines the political life. The Crucible was written in the midst of a political witch-hunt popularly known as the second Red Scare. Marxist ideas had become very popular, and fear of this Marxism taking hold and leading to Socialism in America was greatly feared, fueled in large part by McCarthyism. The Crucible took the infamous witch-hunt from 18th century Salem Massachusetts and its initial release paralleled the witch-hunt of the Red Scare. It was Arthur Miller's hope that audiences would recognize the parallels and exert the influence of their votes to stop the

The war starting just after Beatty's death exaggerates how problematic Beatty was by correlating a war reference with his death. In conclusion, Bradbury uses Beatty, Mildred, and Clarisse to forward Montag’s inner war. In fact, each of these character’s affect and assemble Montag’s internal war. In addition, Montag’s inner war correlate with the external war. However, Bradbury does not do this on purpose as he is trying to spread the message of how internal and external wars are extremely similar and often are exaggerated and compounded by our outer

In the novel, Brave New World, soma is a drug meant to escape emotions like pain, sadness, and depression. The drug represents the overall well-being of people, so they are always happy and content. In modern society, alcohol functions as soma-like, distorting your reality and making you forget your problems. Another parallel to soma is the societal pressure to drink from advertisements to social pressure. Similarly, the government of Brave New World pushes the usage of soma intensely and the people feel this pressure to consume this drug.
