After reading the novel Brave New World, i have learned that there are so many different topics that someone can use to write about. One i would like to take note of is the individuality of Bernard from everyone else in the society. He doesnt think or act like anyone else which you are suppose to do. A person such as Bernard, who is acts the way he does is not considered "normal." But what is normal in their society? I would like to bring in a text, an article from Postmn Technopoly, which in the article what he is trying to say is that the technological advansments in our society are occurring and happening at a supersonic speed. This can be compared with Brave New World because the advancement in technology in the novel allowed the ruler and higher people of society to control the citizens and make them believe what they wanted them to believe which is the main objective of the novel. They are also able to manipulate the morals and norms of the citizens of the society. They try and do this to try and make the people who they want them to be, not giving the people their rights or individuality because everyone is the same as everyone else. I would also consider using The Tempest to help write the essay becuase of the connections between the two books. Caliban, who is considered a saveage, is mistreated by new people who have never seen anything like him. But when the John, the savage in BNW, enters Bernard's society, he feels out of place and feels he is not treated as he should be. But that is because niether of them are like the people around them or the people that they have met. I could probably use something from 1984 also and the talk about the way the two seperate societies try to manipulate and control their citizens.
You have a lot of ideas here--and they're all workable. But try to narrow it down to one. If you attempt to tackle all of this, your essay will get too unwieldy. When you get to writing, make a decision and stick to that.
