        <description><![CDATA[In "Brave New World," technology has completely reshaped the world that we live in, and even the idea of human beings as we know it today.  Their technology allows them to design and produce human beings en masse; their society has used this to create  what they believe to be a perfectly productive, peaceful, and functioning society.  Unfortunately, in that society, no one truly thinks, chooses for themselves on any significant scale, or...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[#1.  Birth control as a means of population control is fascist.  The world state mandates birth control by the elite and makes the lower castes infertile.  This is a satire of Communist China's ridiculous birth control policy which is a means to destroy the family.
#2.  Technology cannot replace books, freedom of choice, and knowledge of the past.  The children of the Brave New World are conditioned to hate books and nature.  This makes...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Here are some themes that Huxley is presenting in the novel:
Free will versus enslavement.  Hardly anyone in the society has any choices because they're all pretty much bred to be what they're supposed to be.  John the Savage kills himself and by doing so at least uses free will.
Sex.  The book explores the effects of people being able to have casual sex and argues that it robs people of intimacy.
The effects of knowledge and ignorance. ...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In "Brave New World," all people are bred and conditioned to fulfill a particular role in society.  They are given the amount of intelligence and the conditioning they need to be both productive and happy in their assigned caste.
Bernard Marx is an alpha, a member of the highest caste.  For some reason, he is both shorter and thinner than alphas are supposed to be.  He is also emotionally different and does not really like a lot of things...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[By this point in the story, John "The Savage" has brought the previously unpopular Bernard quite a bit of fame and positive attention.  Before John brought Bernard back, Bernard was an unpopular, strange, unattractive, lonely nerd that not many people wanted to be around.  He chose to do things by himself, copped an attitude of surly rebellion to mask his desire to fit in, and had a hard time getting the ladies or being the cool guy. ...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The word "scatological" means something like "having to do with excrement."  So typically, it is connected with bodily functions such as defecation and urination.
If you are referring to the use of the word in Ch. 10 of Brave New World, the word is used in just a slightly different way.  There, it is being used to refer to sex and reproduction but not in the sense of sex being something to be interested in (pornographic, as it says in the...]]></description>

'But I don't want comfort.  I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness.  I want sin.'

However, in Chapter 18, John the Savage has been forced to "eat civilization" as he tells Helmholtz.  In this chapter, then, John comes into direct conflict with the New World which has forced itself upon him:  He has been taken to the...]]></description>
