 * Themes (These statements should be complete sentences and completely developed ideas)**
 * **Drugs are a common solution to every problem. It is like an escape from the world and so it provides a temporary solution and assists in forgetting reality which is truly not beneficial for society.**
 * **When government gets very involved in the lives of the citizens a lot of independence is lost. Government should only have a limit of power.**
 * **Pre-determined roles in soceity screw up a lot of things. People do not have choices or a personality hence everything is just blahh. NOthing is different but since nothing is different nothing can really be the same.**
 * **Class matters. Only some people have full power.**

 * Memorable Quotes and their SIGNIFICANCE.**
 * "Words can be like X-rays if you use them properly - they'll go through anything. You read and you're pierced."
 * Words, books, reading are all helpful. They create thoughts and opinions. The help create a personality. Books and Reading is a skill. With words comes new inventions and all. But if people do not want this then books are burned i guess. uhh.. this angers me.


 * "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."
 * He wants a real life. If everyone is taught to be happy then what is real happiness? what are true feelings and emotions? Everyone is unknown to everything.


 * "Everyone belongs to everyone."
 * There is no individuality in a society. Everyone is the same. There is no value for true relations. Sex is so common. Drugs are so common. There is no such thing as true happiness.

Well first the book opens with a tour of the Hatchery. It shows the main process of how humans are created for the New World. The governemtn creates the people to how they want. The governemtn is so proud of their process for some weird reason. They think that this advancement of technology and science is fantastic but its just strange and crazy. This is where their moto was reveled....uh
 * Describe the significance of the opening scene.**

Well...John commits suicide because he does not fit in anywhere. He is ashamed of himself which is sad. He does not aprpeciate the world he is now, and he wasnt accepted in the reservation so he thought it would be best to just be gone. He doesnt want to belong but he also doesnt belong in his head.
 * Describe the significance of the closing scene.**

All the important lines are just ironic in this novel. Satire. Like, I read it and i think ....uh what a joke...so not true.
 * Describe the author's style and provide examples from the text.**


 * List importance characters and their significance.**
 * **Bernard Marx:** He is bipolar. Seems to me that at first he does not like the ways of society but as soon as he gets his attention and popularity he just turns into one of the others. He was just desperate for popularity and attention...dumb...fake..annoying.
 * **John: Oh I feel so sad for him. He did not fit in London nor in the reservation so he just decided to commit suicide. oh Also the long lost son of the director.**
 * **Helmholtz Watson:** This guy likes to think...woohoo. He enjoys reading and thinking, but his beliefs are basically kept to himself. Hence, why he just likes being alone on an island.
 * **Lenina Crowne:** Well she is the chick of the novel. Everyone wants her i guess. I mean i guess she is innocent. idk.
 * **Mustapha Mond:** CONTROL FREAK. freaking can only read. he is the only one that can basically think and be educated. He is strict about his beliefs. he has the power at all times.
 * **Linda:** She just wants to go back to the New World because she does not like the ways of the normal life. she is a drug addict.... and well dies.
