What has this World become?
In the first four chapters of Brave New World, Huxley describes a world of no emotion and history. Instead of natural birth, human beings known as specimens are created in mass productions on an assembly line and put into three social classes the Alpha-Plus, Gamma, and Delta-Minus. What is our world turining into? During the development process, the Director is teaching these specimens to not love books or nature. This reminds me of what happened in a similar book that I read in tenth grade. A necessity that this world needs is "social stability" without this it will turn into chaos. This society is so structure that the lower classmen has to obey any order given by a upper classman even if it is a simple everyday thing. If a certain person doesnt live up to the expectation of their class such as Bernard Marx, then they are known as an outsider. Marx knows that this type of society is not how it is supposed to be and with his friend, Helmholtzer Watson, I think that they are going to take over and correct what has been done.
