BNW p.3 due 28 Apr 9 PM <--- click this link for the reading that we did on 25 Apr. Joseph Trapani: Aha! Finally this book is showing some kind of issue. Nobody is supposed to feel any emotion for anyone, such as jealousy. I think after 3 long chapters we're finally getting to see some action. My first reaction to people being able to "boink" whoever they wanted meant that they literally could walk up to anyone and have sex with no problem. I found out that even though you can just go around and do whatever you want with people, they still have to agree to do it too. I mean duh it sounds so obvious but still. I find it kind of interesting that people would be enfuriated by only a short amount of time with only one person. If only we could have anyone we want today!!!! Don't tell my girlfriend that =O
 * Dorothy Fretard::

I'm guessing these are supposed to go on the top, from what I've read? Ahhhh. Well, I'm actually not as disturbed as everyone else seems to be. I mean, yeah, I know, the whole thing's a little wierd-- but most of you don't know too much about my past. Let's just say that if Five's not too young, than neither is eight, nine, and ten like the children in this book. It's a biological part of human nature, and one has to take it in the context. This is a society where everybody is hapilly designed for their job. They have anything and everything that they could possibly want. Of course sex is included at an early age. What got //me// was "But you've been with Henry for nearly three months!" Nearly three months?! Holy //blackberries// I wish I could pull that. "But Brad, we've been together for over a //year//. I think it's time for us to look around a little and see what else we can sample. After all, //everyone belongs to everyone else//!

Vanya Liapin well again a lot of nasty stuff. But what got my attention today was the comment about us, the people previous to perfect society. They said that adult men were not able to do anything and were waisting their time "thinking". Thats kind of ironic because if this New World was ever created it would have to be planed by those men "thinking". Plus their God Ford, didnt he "think" about developing an assembly line? I think there is a loop hole in auther's explanation, oops. ;)

Just checking... ~W

Morgan Wilson I’m having a lot of trouble understanding this book. It’s like I’m listening to 5 different blondes telling me 5 different stories….. AT THE SAME TIME! I think it’s weird that they have to brainwash people when they are sleeping. I wouldn’t be able to sleep through it. The “soma” they mentioned sounds less like a vacation and more like going into a coma.

 A-4: Amanda Lancaster: Um, i had no where else to rite my opinions, so just to be on the safe side I'm putting it in the A-1 Section. Honestly, I think that this book s really wierd, but then again it does have some interesting points to it. OKay, so they're saying that in the near future, elementary kids are going to be having sex?? definately don't agree with that. It's not like I'm gunna be around, or my kids or my grand kids, so whatever. Just so different how six year olds are trying to pleasure each other, and how do they have the horemones to understand what that does anyways? Because i know that kids in elementary school are definately not thinking anything about sex, and if they are, that's just wierd. They're toooooo young!

BRANDON HOLDER The section we read last class was particularly interesting. I think the most interesting part was that everything that had happened in the past had been eradicated and that only the controller knew what exactly had happened. I find it intriguing that people are completely oblivious to the fact that there was a whole religion called Christianity in which most of the world practiced and or believed in. I find it a little disturbing to think that they are all being brainwashed from day one to think a certain thing in order to keep so called balance in society and for those who have problems now and then, they can just take a drug called soma and go away on a journey, in order to ease their mind. Overall I think this book is possibly a foreshadow of what may come if we don't keep our minds our own and decide who we are without the influence of others controlling our every thought and action.

    So I am way ahead if this class in this book, by the way I like this book a lot. The first part of the chapter that was read last class was pretty good. It showed that in the new world there are still sluts because that’s kind of what I think they would be called in the world now. Also it shows that even in this perfect world of there’s guys still kind of get jealous of other guys talking to the girls they like. Which I thought wasn’t suppose to happen because they aren’t suppose to feel that. So its like something is going to change later in the book that I haven’t even gotten too. Samantha Kruta    

  I am so sick of this book. I don't agree with most of what it's saying. Though I do have a open mind that something like this might occur. It seems werid that this book was writen in the 1930's but it can explain tecnology that wasnt around then. We all say we would stop something like this from happing before it does, and who knows maybe know one will stop it. They would just conform. It would be the norm. I bet alot of the things we do in other countries they would react to it the same way we do to this book. Robynne Gibaud

Lorreine Buesa This book is confusing and disturbing for me. I really don’t believe that there can be a perfect society. Also, the fact that drugs and sex is perfectly okay for them bothers me. I was raised in a conservative family, though I was born and raised in the city. However, as much as this book creeps many of us out, I think more people should read it especially the people who are leading the nations of this world. Many of them are trying to do exactly what this book says. A perfect society maybe sound great because there’s no pain, responsibilities, but in return, they don’t feel anything at all. Personally, I rather feel pain along with feeling loved by my family than not to feel anything at all.

Aaron Reynon i liek how the book was written in 1932 and talks about all the technology like the helocopter/ airplane...and that exist today. I think that is really cool. lol

Beca R-B the whole relationship thing seems interesting. to never get married and/or never have children is considered weird and antisocial, today. Add on top of that the fact that relationships dont last, you've defined the college frat boys of the world. You also have the chick with a couple of boys after her, she's a real life "playa". To think that this could be the world of tomorrow doesnt sound so far-fetched. There are plenty of people, even married people, with open bedroom doors, albeit it is considered somewhat shameful to a handful of them....some of those poeple were taught from a very young age that its okay to do.

SHONTIA GRANGER I'm saying the book is getting crazy by the minute and its just hard to understand that someone would think of such thing....:The person that made up the book is real crazy i dont know why they would want people to even thin of something like this and read about such a thing...The people in the book make you not want to have kids because you would think what if my child grow up to be such a thing or what if my child does a crazy thing like the kids up here do or if they would not like me as a parent or anything in that nature....The book needs to get better so i can understand whats really going on in chapter because the book is very confusing and makes me want to cry!!! I just want the people to get better in the book and start making since and stop acting like asses cause the book is just in the way to me i dont really like the book so i will just keep talking bad about the book...........


 * //cherita: for wednesday - They talked about how the one guy must of been a mistake. They said someone must put alcohol in his blood surrogate. The fact that he was short made him ugly to everyone. Lenina was not a free -martin which is a sexless person. Soma is weed that you get real high and don"t even get a headache. For them they didn"t have to smoke they just ate it in little tablets.

Cherita: chap 4 part 2 - Lenina was riding in some plane with benard. She talked about eyerone clothes an colors. Thats all i could remember for now. Cherita: chap 5 - Bottle has taken place for the word mother. Westminster Abbey was a church that they turned into a coffee shop that serves weed (soma). Lenina and Henry are afraid of the stars because they were electricuted by things in nature when they were young. They were having a church service which was way everyone has sex. They began to shout a crazy chant "Orgy Porgy...."

Shundrea Garcia IF they are smoking and gettin high doesnt that affect brain cells, cause heart problem, lung disease and other thingswouldnt it make them atleast a little bit slow or not so smart as another. But then again they are told not to think or rather someone else doesnt it for them. But what i like so far about this book is the fact that there is atleast two people breaking the rules of the so called perfect society. Is it really a perfect society for all or just some. I mean think about it people are looked down upon because they are a beta, gamma or anything else but a Alpha. In a perfect society shouldnt they all take part in the same things, be happy not look down upon one another for his or her rank.

Rebecca So i am behind in this bbook but ireally am not all that sad about it because it annoys me to know end. The ideas that the author has come up with on what these little kids should be doing and expierencing is insane because that isnt the kind of stuff that we are doig today. he does have some things right about the way there are different classes of people and the higherclsseslook down on the lower ones. He does havesome of his stuff right. It just kindof makes sense though because he made all of these ridiculous assumptions on what people later on wouldbe like.But at the same time people all over are starting to come up with all these ideasof what people in 50 yearsaregoing to belike??

Leon Johnson So everybody is getting high? OK this book is starting to get readable for me. Not because their getting high but to laugh at the fact that in a perfect society people are still getting high. HAHA so if anyone every needed a reason to start, read this book. If you havn't noticed by now, all the Alphas have more Soma then anyone else. Alphas must be like Mob bosses. They run the show. This guy knew alot about stuff for it to be a old book. Area 51 type ish. Time machines!!!//**
