[[BNW p. 2, due 24 Apr 08]] Note to class! when you save, be sure that you are saving, using the bottom save button. A whole bunch of stuff is getting erased, accidentally. When you go to type, be sure that you either start at the top, or if you want the bottom, use the arrow on the left to make the blinking cursor go all the way to the bottom. I put back a bunch of stuff that accidentally got deleted. Good thing I can go back and get your stuff back. Rebecca put hers on the discussion page. If you go there, e-mail me so I know. I am expecting your comments to be on this page. Way to go, those of you who have done stuff already. :) ~W xxxooo Joseph Trapani: It's funny that this whole concept of making nudity a second nature is put into a book. I tried explaining to people last year that if we were all taught at a young age that being naked was fine, then nobody would have a problem with it and nobody would feel uncomfortable with it. Anyway this book is doing a good job of annoying me because it's basically future people calling us stupid. I mean holy crap we find some things our ancestors did to be kind of weird and unreasonable but geez stop calling us stupid. I think these people are really smart by teaching babies not to like certain things so that they can be happy with whatever it is that they are destined to do. I also think that by people not having long term relationships it sure as heck cuts off the emotional attachment that brings people in relationships so much stress and anger and sadness. I might be one of if not the only person who thinks that their whole idea of a society is not that bad, and is actually really intelligent. And one last thing: A one-world government?! I bet there aren't any wars. Or if there are, there aren't as many as there would be during our lifetime.

Wow, dont know what to say about thi book. I try m best to listen and understnd it deeply but i just don't get it. Its weird. It freaks me out that youg children are learning to do sexual things and walk around naked lol. I wouldnt want my FUTURE kids doing such things. Even thought this book isn't a true story I wouldn't want society to be this way. Who takes the time and effort to write such a disgusting thing? kinda concerned here. **-Keona-**

ok, A-4. Here Roslyn Jones This book is your place so not what I throught it will be. I wounder what is the he is try to show us. Why do your stuff. The date is 21 Apr 08. This they got us reading this. Alot of little children are naked and they have to play with each other body parts. If that happen today someone will close be going to jail for teaching there children about sex. I think that child such know about sex at 9 PM 22 APR. less when they get in there teen years. Sometime I wounder will some of the parents today can do what the people did in this book. Well first off, I'd like to start by saying i find this book confusing and just disgusting. I don't like the thought of babies being, "de-canted" nor do I like the fact that the author has six and seven year olds pleasuring one another. I believe they are way to young to be thinking about swimming in a tub of chocolate. What is the point if Mothers *GASP! I SAID A BAD WORD!* can't give human birth? A perfect society is neeevvvveerrrr going to happen. - Kate Manian.

I think this book is definitely different. It’s pretty odd. It’s gross that they 7 year old children are taught to masturbate each other. And it’s even worse that there are people just standing by. And why would the little boy get in trouble for not letting the little girl jerk him off. Morgan Wilson Rebecca Ramos-Beckert this book is creepy and intriguing*(my sister spelled that word for me.) i was talking about it with my family, apparently electricuting babies isn't normal in our society....

Rebecca Tackett I really think that this book is weird. Just the things that people are letting the kids do to each other and the things that they want them to learn. NOT NORMAL I really hope that the author of this book crazy. Nothing in it is normal! The part that upsets me the most is that they are letting the little kids play with each other. I really dont think that kids at that age need to be playing with each other. They dont even know what goes on with them let alone the opposite sex.

//**CHERITA:** WELL I DO RELATE TO KEONA BECAUSE I DIDNT GET IT AT FIRST EITHER BUT NOW I JUST LISTEN CAREFULLY.I HATE TO BE REPETITOUS BUT THE ELEMENTARY KIDS WERE PLAYING IN THE YARD NAKED.THEY ALL PLAYWITH EACH OTHER'S GENITALS. UGH CAN WE SAY NASTY!!!! I LEARNED THAT VIVPAROUS MOTHER IS SOMEONE WHO GIVES BIRTH TO A LIVE OFFSPRING. MS.LENINA (ME IN CLASS LOL) WORE ONLY STOCKINGS AND SHOES TO THE BATHROOM.//

Shundrea Garcia Personally i like the book so far. I find it intriging in some ways and disgusting in other. Yeah the whole thing about the kids playing with each other, and running around naked is nasty. So far the only character i like is Lenina, dont like her friend Fanny, and Bernard Marx doesnt sound to bad either. To me they're both off setting the whole perfect society. Lenina only like to be with one guy, and Bernard well i dont think jealousy or anger is allowed in a perfect society. But he seems to express both a little to me when Foster and some guy talk about Lenina as though she is nothing. Samantha Kruta So this book is actually really interesting to me. I find that some parts of this book are really interesting, especially how they allow the kids to run around naked and messing with each other at such a young age. Its kind of hard for me to actually see them allowing that because in todays society they would die if that was to happen. I mean yea a lot of kids run around naked in there house but could you just imagine if they were to mess with each other? I understand this book to be about a perfect society but why would you need one, whats so great about having one?

Vanya Liapin When i started reading this book i was strongly opposed to it. I still am. Yes, it is weir, desgusting, strange, nasty and all the other words, but i would call this book a magnifying mirror of our society. This author is crazy, he goes to extremes but I see resembelence with our world. Dont we try to make everything for everybody? Everybody needs to have same health care, everybody has to be satisfied with a house nd car nd for some reason we are obligated to help the ones we dont give a *&(%$#% about! (sorry got emotional). Everybody is suprised bout lil kids, ok. but dont we show porn or preatiy much same thing in every day of young kid. The adverstisments, tv, interests. We facilitate this. TODAY kids already know as much about sex as adults! so how is that different from this book? we keep on forcing to minds of others that it is the government that will take care of us, not ourselves or family. thats y the thought of mother or family is already thought as of something useless. I see a reflection of us in this book, its just magnified so we will realise where we are going......

 Aaron Reynon (A4) I think that this book is pretty sick...the fact that this society is programming little children to play with each other's genitals and how to have sex really bothers me. Our society is bad as it is and we dont need a book teaching us things like this and putting pictures in our minds. But yeah i always try to listen and understand whats going on but i end up falling asleep. All i know is that ppl are making babies..in tubes..or whatever. Teaching them how to have sex and programming then to have a happy life....a perfect society.

This book is to say the least different. I can understand why people in our class dont like it but i can also see what the author is trying to do. He is not holding anything back but this is what he thinks is gona happen if technology keeps advancing the way it is. He is just trying to get us see whats happening rite befor our eyes. I read joseph's and i agree with him mostly about how every thing in this book isn't necessarily bad but just different. The part about the young children doing what they where doing isn't nasty to them because they've known that as normal. Also the part about no emotional attachment could also have its benefits even though you would never feel some feelings but they wouldnt exist anymore so you wouldnt miss anything. The part about them traaing the babies is also smart it teaches them to stay away from danger and will ultimately keep them safe. So yes this book is different but atleast it'll keep my attention Jonathan O'Garra

Shontia Granger The book is real crazy! I really dont undersand it..The book was very confusing its about kids having sex at an early age...Me reading this book make me look at stuff real close and different and pay attention to alot of things thats going on in my life.....I dont see how people are having kids by there own family that is just sick and down right nasty to me...I am a lil worried in the book becasue the parents are not what the kids like..... The kids cant sand there parents and they are not whats happeing..The kids be running around naked and stuff and doing them and not paying attention to nobody and doing them all the time they do not have no home traning...I am a little happy that the book is not real becasue this would be some sick people in this world...I just want the kids to obay there parents and listen do the grown people...The book just gets better and better everytime and it just have you like dam why are these people doing the thing they do....THE END!!!!!!!&hearts;

This book is starting to get really weird. Im understanding where it might be headed but it threw me off with the little kids having sex in the bushes. In a world where everyone has their own place in society an is born an bred into a certain mindstate those who have individualism would stand out and be treated as a "saint" or killed off. So if the whole school was like this, which one do you think you would be??
