Chapter 2 BNW notes

Ford is important to the the people because Ford is Christ to the society. Alpha children work hard and wear grey. Betas don't work as hard as the Alphas. Gammas are the "stupid" ones and wear green. Deltas wear khaki and Epsilons wear black and don't know how to read or write.

hypnopædia is to learn by hearing while sleeping or under hypnosis

 The clones there are being hypnotized into only learning something specific and only saying one specific phrase. FOr example, in the book, a Beta is awakened to only repeat this phrase " Alpha children wear grey They work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. I'm really awfully glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don't want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse. They're too stupid to be able read or write. Besides they wear black, which is such a beastly colour. I'm so glad I'm a Beta."
The kids are forced to repeat this up to 100 times a day and then will get taught something more advanced to say after they have mastered it

-What surprises me the most?
The part that shocked me the most so far is the cloning. Its so scary to think that clones will soon be made. Maybe they will be over to take over the world, we never know what can happen.

EVERY ONE IS , DIFFERENT

What i had learned through out my high school years so far is, school is not for everybody. Everybody is interested in something, but not everybody is interested in the same thing. I feel like i know what i personally want, and what i don't want, or at least i think i do. I don't feel motivated to do some of my math work, but when it comes to my science, or history, i do my work because im interested in what goes on. I like the feeling of doing my work, and actually enjoying the time doing that. What i dont like, however, is when i have to complete some work for math because well, i don't enjoy math. Its not that i dont like coming to school, but i just don't feel like math is interesting. There are some people that would die for math, and there people that would die for art because those people are doing what they love. For every minute i spend doing math, i feel like its another minutes of my life being spent in a wrong way. And i just want to let you know that these

Young Goodman Brown

These are my answers to the "Young Goodman Brown" questions. 1.  What do you think Hawthorne's purpose was for writing this story?        I think his purpose in writing this story was to explain to us that we all have different mind sets. Many of us have a different way of seeing the world, and also have different ways of expressing ourselves to the world. 2. Hawthorne states that Brown's wife is "aptly named" Faith.  After reading the story, do you agree?  Does Faith's name fit her personality?  Does Brown have true faith in her?    Yes, i agree and feel like Faith's name fits her personality. The writer did a good job in setting this character up with the story in how Brown had to leave his Faith behind. Since his wife's name is Faith, we the readers look at it as if he left his wife, and he lost his faith in himself. 3. What do you think the pink ribbons signify? I think the pink ribbons signify that faith will always be wi

Brave New World Essay

     In Brave New World, a character who conforms outwardly but is questioned inwardly would have to be John. John is an alpha who is supposed to be this top dog, in this higher class group, though he was made with a little bit of alcohol in his blood surrogate. Bernard is also different from the alphas because he would rather be alone in nature, and rejects taking soma. In the following passage i will explain how Bernard from Brave New World is closely related to a real human, and how he is different.      Bernard Marx was created an alpha, but had a little alcohol mixed with his blood surrogate. This is the reason why Bernard is pretty much the outcast of the story. He was meant to be the main group of the Brave New World, but only to be rejected by all of them because he doesnt meet the requirements of an alpha. Instead, Bernard is smaller than all the alphas and wishes he could just fit in with them. This makes him become anti-social with all the others, because he is shorter than
