Follow up on the circle of conversation :)
WOW! i am not going to lie i was pretty darn nervous to actually speak out my ideas in class. But anyways after i got that out of my chest...Today we had got in a circle today and discussed about the Brave New World book. We came to a subject where some one said they are like machines. I am really not sure who said it but i know i think it was Jeff that was still talking about it(sorry i rudely interrupted you today). How they are like machines. And Ashley was making a good point but to me her point still couldnt so call make close to what we were saying yes we are told to do stuff by our parents but i wouldnt so much call us machines. As for these people in the book i would so call them machines just because they have feelings doesnt mean they are not. They were to be formed to love what they do in their jobs. They dont live a normal life as we do. For us we have desicions on how we want our life to turn out later in our life. But for these people they dont. They are dictated to do what they are to do in life. They dont have it as easy as we do. They are not even limited. Yes this society could be good but these people arent letting them be their own people. They have to be what they think they should be. Enough said i lost my train of thought so adios amigos. :)

Hey Desiree,
ReplyDeleteWhile you make a good point about them being "machines," I (personally) disagree with this statement. Yes, they are programmed at the stages of development to explain their role in the society, but I think this benefits the society because it keeps it stable. By having each different caste do specific work and duties, it causes them to work and participate as a society; rather than working individually.
This is just my opinion though :)
