         <description><![CDATA[<div>The brave New World is about a futuristic society that has tried to create a social environment where everyone is happy. Scientists  managed to get rid of sickness, old age, unhappiness, even death. Here children are born in labs, being programmed and specialised in a particular type of activity from an early age. So people were separated into classes such as Alpha, Beta, Epsilon or Gamma. Being born artificially, in test tubes, deprived of the love of a family and the affection of a mother, the word 'mother' inspires disgust. The book presents a world full of peace and happiness where a half gram of "soma", the drug that allows you to escape for a moment into a whole other world, eliminates all signs of pain, discomfort, panic and even love. On the other hand, it erases everything that defines being human. The purpose of this conditioning is to make humans like what they are forced and trained to do. So the price of happiness is an expensive one as they lose the freedom to think, to take their lives into their own hands, to have free will. The novel therefore raises a question: "Is it better to be happy or free?" But this is the price we have to pay for stability. You have to choose between happiness and what people used to call " superior art ". This we have sacrificed."<br><br></div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Their way of living is a simplistic one, people learn through a process called hypnopedics, in other words, they listen during sleep&nbsp; the&nbsp; information and when they wake up they have all the knowledge "stored" in their memory. How would a modern-day human interact with such an avant-garde society? To find out, Aldous Huxley introduces the "Savage", a young man "accidentally born naturally" into the wilderness. He was raised on a reservation where the locals were allowed to live according to the principles of the old world. Once in the new world, the young man struggles to cope with the differences in living conditions, leading him to a somewhat predictable end, given the difficulty of adjusting to a world he had hoped to know, but which eventually led him to give up.<br><br></div><div>The evolution of science, as described in the novel, only goes to show readers that the development of technology brings with it both good and not so good consequences. Of course, the development of society must not be slowed down, but the risks we are about to take and the things we are willing to give up must be weighed carefully. The "Brave New World" makes us reflect on a simple, imagineable idea that can become a reality, but probably should remain just that. The savage, once aware of the huge differences between the two realities, and of the high price he must pay, chooses freedom even if it often comes with pain and disappointment: "I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want kindness. I want sin."<br><br></div><div>-In fact, you claim the right to be unhappy.<br><br></div><div>&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>book review ,,Live original&#39;&#39;-Sadie Robertson</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>This book suggests stepping out of our comfort zone. If we do something good and help others we will be surprised in a good way by the appreciation of others.<br>Sadie Robertson owns a collection of prom dresses and runs the business with her family. She was interviewed and when they asked her about her personal life they didn't expect her to talk about her faith or her values. They expected her to talk about movies or fashion, as any teenager would. That's what I appreciated about the writer, that she wasn't afraid to expose herself for who she really was.<br>One of the topics she approaches&nbsp; is changing the world into a better, more welcoming place. You'd be surprised how many people want to do something different, but wait for someone else to start. For example, if a teacher asks a question in class, students sometimes avoid answering. But once a student answers, the others seem more motivated to participate in the discussion.<br>The author also talks about the fact that we feel  attracted to positive and happy people. ''I like to meet positive people because they have self-confidence and that's the only way we can have self-confidence, growing up with people like that.''<br><br><br></div>]]></description>
