Donors supply their eggs and sperm to these facilities, allowing them to create clones/identical twins at enormous rates. Each of the embryos is classified into different groups. The group who is kept to be in the high class, gets to stay as is. The group in the lower class receives some concentration of alcohol to make them more controllable.

There are five categories: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon. They each perform tasks similar to machines. They are told what to do and cannot do anything other than what they are told.

"The procession advanced; one by one the eggs were transferred from their test-tubes to the larger containers; deftly the peritoneal lining was slit, the morula dropped into place, the saline solution poured in ... and already the bottle has passed, and it was the turn of the labellers."
This quote is an example of the cost of happiness because since these children came out of the wound, they were programmed to do things that they may not like. They do not have the free will to do what they want and do things that make them happy. They are only able to do what they are told and that is all. ]]> 2023-05-01 21:33:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ctcao1041_2/d2hr258g2926gwik/wish/2574235904 Chapter 1 jmoreno1101_2 https://padlet.com/ctcao1041_2/d2hr258g2926gwik/wish/2574649158 The use of Bokanovsky's process is implemented to use of social stability and allowing for more eggs to be made at once than having to wait for one egg to be born in nine months. It uses the machinery to be able to create these eggs, similarly to how Henry Ford decided that making one car at a time was inefficient, he found a new way to make it easier for the cars to be made quicker.

While the director is giving a tour he says a few things about the embryos about how they are already put in a category on where they are in the hierarchy. Some are made to be more dumb so that they feel happy doing a job that is not even great. Basically, the people working on this embryos have already decided the eggs fate and they determine how your life will end up.

The students see that the children were offered books and flowers but are then taken away from them. The director explains that over time the children will grow a hatred for books and flowers. 

Page 22
" ... Community's time over books, and that there was always the risk of their reading something which might undesirably decondition one of their reflexes, yet ... well, he couldn't understand about the flowers."
This quote is an example of the cost of happiness because these children do not have the chance to explore nature and do what they want to. They are not allowed to read books as well which keeps them from gaining knowledge. The director keeps them this way so they are like blank slates and will do whatever they are told to do. ]]> 2023-05-02 19:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ctcao1041_2/d2hr258g2926gwik/wish/2575676086 Chapter 2 ctcao1041_2 https://padlet.com/ctcao1041_2/d2hr258g2926gwik/wish/2575680817 This chapter is about the Director showing the students the next part of the tour.

This is an example of dystopia because they think that controlling all these children like machines are the right thing to do but they will have no right to make choices for themselves.

To prevent them from getting smarter and wanting to explore the outside world. This is done because they want them to spend as little time as possible outside and get them to consume transport.

They are all encouraged to play with one another and make sure that they interact with everyone to portray the "everyone belongs to everyone" saying. The students meet Mustapha Mond, the owner. He then tells the students about how this world came to be and how it is better than the existing world.

Page 36:
"And do you know what 'home' was?" "They shook their heads."
This quote is an example of the cost of happiness because in this quote the children are being asked if they know what "home" was and they all shook their heads saying they don't know. Home is supposed to be the place where you can be yourself and be happy with the people there. Since they don't know what "home" is, they will never be able to know tis feelings and experience happiness. ]]> 2023-05-03 18:49:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ctcao1041_2/d2hr258g2926gwik/wish/2577187530 Chapter 3 Part 1 jnnguyen1211_2 https://padlet.com/ctcao1041_2/d2hr258g2926gwik/wish/2577647179 People are made to think that sex is a very casual act and that everyone belongs to everyone. In this book, it is not normal for a person to stick to the same partner when having sex. We are also shown that they do not understand the concept of families, mothers, fathers, uncles, etc.

A "viviparous mother" they'd say. However, the acts of sex were considered a casual activity. In this book, it is seen to be irregular to stay with the same person during intercourse. The people of this "utopia" are so brainwashed to the point that most cannot imagine what a home or family was.

It also has to be approved by the Controllers. 

Page 31:
"Strange to think that even in Our Ford's day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. Imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption. It's madness.

The drug soma is introduced in which is is meant for people to take when their happiness levels are low. They hand out this drug to everyone and want them to take it.

Page 54
"What you need is a gramme of soma."
This quote is an example of the cost of happiness because in the book, soma is the drug that people take when they want to be happy. They do not get to experience happiness for themselves but they inject a drug that keeps them happy. They hand this drug out at the end of each day and they encourage people to take it.]]> 2023-05-04 17:00:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ctcao1041_2/d2hr258g2926gwik/wish/2578578866 Chapter 3 Part 2 jnnguyen1211_2 https://padlet.com/ctcao1041_2/d2hr258g2926gwik/wish/2578581340 This chapter reveals more ways this utopia controls its people. Everyone is kept young and busy to avoid any sort of uprising or riots against the system. Soma is also a drug that is distributed by their government to keep them happy and to "keep stability."

They use drugs to keep them looking young and fit.

In this chapter individuality is taken away by controlling people's behaviors through the social rules and synthetic drugs. The rules made as well such as the long term relationship that make people unattached to others and continuously living vulnerable. The drug abuse keeps people happy to prevent them from acting out and fighting back.

This helps them because it doesn't cause any rebellion or revolt to happen. They are taught that there's no reason to be jealous of others and to be content with themselves, this brings peace. The director also talked about how the people are taught to dislike some thing such as nature. In that case they separate because they get to make their own decision but in everything people are together in their groups thinking the same. 

"we condition the masses to hate the country." (23)

This is to make sure that nobody disrupts the peace and revolts. They are also limited to individual freedom as to being able to reproduce with another being. They are also restricted to spend time with a person for a long period of time because this can cause actual feelings for one another, that they don't want happening. This is the restriction of individuality.

The way that people see Brenard, an alpha, as odd from the group displays the lack of individually within the society and and castes. Simply because he is short and different from the other tall alphas, a rumor goes around that there is something wrong with him and that he was mentally diluted with alcohol.

His friend is known to be the ideal man while Bernard is the alpha reject. Despite their differences, they both see each other as 'individuals.'

The fact that Bredard is somewhat discriminated against for only a few centimeters off from his height displays how conformed and programmed everyone in the society is. In this chapter, Helmholtz also demonstrates individuality as girls sports were not as stratospheric to him.

"What the two men shared was the knowledge that they were individuals. This admirable committee man and best mixer had realized quite suddenly that sport women and communal activities were only, so far as he was concerned, second bests." (67)

He is known to be an ideal person while Bernard is the opposite, an alpha reject.  Although they differ, they both see each other as individuals. They are different than other people in this society because they are able to talk about the deeper topics rather than just sex and trashing on the other ranks.  However, in their world this is not normal so they are seen as different.

She is not there to spend time with Bernard but she is using him to see the humans for herself. Bernard kept trying to   be romantic and telling her that they could be different but she is so brainwashed. In the end, Bernard takes soma so that he can deal with Lenina for the rest of the night. In part 2, Bernard is with the Director and he tells Bernard a story and gives him information that makes Bernard have an advantage over him. The Director realized that he made a big mistake and he threatens to send Bernard to Iceland if he ever mentions the story.

Part 2, Bernard needs to get his permit signed by his boss. He and his boss do not get along very well but his boss tells him a story from 20 years before anyhow. His boss has been suffering from guilt for leaving his partner for dead in the wilderness. This is controversial since people in this world are not allowed to speak of the past.

Linda is not really a mother figure to John and she always hooks up with the other men in the reservation. Because of this, the wives and girlfriends of the men go to beat Linda for hooking up with their men. John also gets punished because Linda is an abusive mother towards him. Linda is an alcoholic and Pope gives John a book to keep him occupied while Linda and him have sex. John escapes from reality by dreaming of the stories that his mother tells him of the World state and of the stories the Indians tell him. He also escapes from reading which is why Pope gave him the book. Bernard comes up with a plan and offers to take John and Linda to the World State.

Linda develops an alcohol addiction because in the pueblo they do not have soma. She begins to be abusive towards her son and sleeps with men while her son is in the room. She is doing what she thinks is right, based on what she has learned from the World State, and as John gets older he learns more as to why people in the pueblo hate him and his mother.

As the day gets away from her, John peeps around where she is staying. He breaks the window to get in. He finds many of Lenina's beauty products and futuristic clothes. He soon finds Lenina sleeping and fantazies about the two of them being Romeo and Juliet. At this point, John soon realizes he can take advantage of going to the new world with them to get closer to Lenina, while Bernard is planning on using both him and his mother as evidence to get back at his manager.

These islands are used as a test ground for experimenting with alphas, betas, etc. As soon as Bernard hears of this, he bawls and begs for another chance. He is then vaporized with soma.

"Why don't you make everybody an Alpha Double Plus while you're about it?" Mustapha Mond laughed. "Because we have no wish to have our throats cut," he answered. "We believed in happiness and stability. A society of Alphas couldn't fail to be unstable and miserable.

John finds out that he has read Shakespeare too. Mond however, does not allow the indulgence of old things. They are all to be sent to an island to be experimented on. Mond strips everyone from feeling any sort of deep emotions for anything or anyone to keep a "stable" world."

How there are many individuals who don't fit into the norm. These people tend to be the most interesting in the world, although they are seen as "weird." It is talked about that this world they live in, in Brave New World is a mirrored world from ours. Happiness is a big part in this world but not everyone experiences it. Those who chose to be different are the individuals who succeed more than the rest. In Mond’s account, happiness and stability depend upon one another. The stability Mond is talking about is economic stability, the uninterrupted cycle of production and consumption. But emotional, psychological, and social stability are also important, because they all contribute to the first kind of stability.

"Science has also had to be suppressed to create the happy and stable society. This is particularly ironic because World State citizens are taught to revere science as one of their most fundamental values."

Whereas their conversation in Chapter 16 covered human experiences and institutions that the World State has abolished, in Chapter 17 they discuss religion and religious experience, which have also been expunged from World State society. Mond shows John his collection of banned religious writings, and reads aloud long passages from the nineteenth-century Catholic theologian, Cardinal Newman, and from the eighteenth-century French philosopher, Maine de Biran, to the effect that religious sentiment is essentially a response to the threat of loss, old age, and death. Mond argues that in a prosperous, youthful society, there are no losses and therefore no need for religion. John asks Mond if it is natural to feel the existence of God. Mond responds that people believe what they have been conditioned to believe. “Providence takes its cue from men,” he says.

John protests that if the people of the World State believed in God, they would not be degraded by their pleasant vices. They would have a reason for self-denial and chastity. God, John claims, is the reason for “everything noble and fine and heroic.” Mond says that no one in the World State is degraded; they just live by a different set of values than John does. World State civilization does not require anyone to bear unpleasant things. If, by accident something negative occurs, soma is there to take away the sting. Soma, he says, is “Christianity without tears.”

John declares that he wants God, poetry, real danger, freedom, goodness, and sin. Mond tells him that his wishes will lead to unhappiness. John agrees but does not relinquish his wishes.

For example John lives by the word of God and his thinking is that the unpleasant is taken away by soma. On the other hand Mond thinks the complete opposite of John. Mond believes that Johns wishes of God, poetry, real danger, freedom, goodness, and sin will get you nowhere and create unhappiness. This chapter shows individuality by showing that you as an individual can chose your path and beliefs.

They talk about religion, which has also been removed from this New World. Mond shows John his collection of old religious writings. Mond argues that a stable and healthy society has no use for religion. Everyone is already healthy and happy. No one ever dies of an illness and there are no deep connections that make you bound to feel any sort of loss or deep emotions. John disagrees and believes there still is use for god. Mond believes that people can find their light in soma rather than a god.

Bernard apologizes for the scene in Mond’s office. John asks Mond if he can go with them to the islands, but Mond refuses because he wants to continue “the experiment.” Later, John chooses to seclude himself in an abandoned lighthouse in the wilderness. He plants his own garden and performs rituals of self-punishment to purge himself of the contamination of civilization. He is trying to do things to basically cleanse himself from all the bad things. Individualism takes place in this chapter by showing that you can take steps to help yourself as John does. He realizes that it's better for him to be by himself rather than with other people.
