- The messages stick with the person for the rest of their lives, teaching them to love the government and especially their caste system. No matter the citizens’ position, they are content, as that is how they have been manipulated and engineered. 
- As a result of trying to control an entire society, in A Brave New World, we witness a complete corruption of morals, emotions, and pride (loss of humanity)]]> 2018-12-11 05:20:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ischaffer/93sbh4iip8dp/wish/313259964 ischaffer https://padlet.com/ischaffer/93sbh4iip8dp/wish/313260328 The degradation of our desire for a sense of control is also frequently used in the story Never Let Me Go.]]> 2018-12-11 05:23:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ischaffer/93sbh4iip8dp/wish/313260328 ischaffer https://padlet.com/ischaffer/93sbh4iip8dp/wish/313260367 - The lives of ordinary citizens are prolonged through the use of human cloning. The clones grow up separate from society in a specialized institution known as Hailsham. As young adults, they begin donate their vital organs until they “complete” or, in other words, die. 
- The clones have no choice as to whether or not they become clones, their destiny is determined from the time of their creation. 
> From then on, almost every aspect of their lives is controlled, as they are told what they could do, when they would die, and even what they could say.

Unfortunately, Victor Frankenstein does not realize this. As a result, trying to take control over God leads to his destruction.
-Through Frankenstein, we can see one’s desire for control can lead to corruption, and in this case, specifically Victor’s downfall. ]]> 2018-12-12 05:39:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ischaffer/93sbh4iip8dp/wish/313713509 ischaffer https://padlet.com/ischaffer/93sbh4iip8dp/wish/313715649 2018-12-12 06:03:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ischaffer/93sbh4iip8dp/wish/313715649 ischaffer https://padlet.com/ischaffer/93sbh4iip8dp/wish/314280099 2018-12-13 15:03:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ischaffer/93sbh4iip8dp/wish/314280099
