At the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre, where infants are bred and genetically modified to fit particular social roles, is where the opening scene is set. The Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning demonstrates to a group of students how the conditioning procedure functions, imprinting particular beliefs and values into the growing brains of the infants through the use of hypnopaedic procedures. ]]> 2023-05-01 21:35:04 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2574236893 dhdinh100_4 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2574777456 Chapter 1 dives deep into the whole aspect of technology & control. They are creating babies or people for certain tasks and for their society. The quote "Where the Alphas and Betas remained until definitely bottled; while the gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons were brought out again" (pg.6) shows that babies are being created and they were separated by the rankings given when they were created to see identify them. The rankings go from Alpha, which is the highest, to Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon, which is the lowest. Alpha and Beta are the two most respected ones, while the other three have trash reputations. Alpha and Beta are unique, while Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon are exact identical copies of each other. ]]> 2023-05-02 07:03:14 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2574777456 dhdinh100_4 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2574782558 In chapter 1, it paints a picture of a society where industrialism & consumption are the ultimate goals. The quote "All conditioning aims at that: making people like their inescapable social destiny" (pg 16) shows that individuals in this society are conditioned from birth to prioritize consumption and accept their predetermined social roles within the industrial and consumption-based society. The aim of this conditioning is to create individuals who are content with their assigned roles, reinforcing the industrialist and consumerist mindset of the society, and making them willing participants in the efficient functioning of the industrial machine.]]> 2023-05-02 07:07:46 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2574782558 jnguyen207_4 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2575730825 In chapter 3, a drug was created, "Six years later it was being produced commercially.

The quote "I'm really awfully glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard, and then we are much better than the Gammas and Delta (pg. 27) reveals how people in the book are told what to do and who to be, and they actually think it's good. It shows how they're brainwashed into thinking their social status is everything, and it's a warning about how societies that don't let people be themselves can be really messed up.]]> 2023-05-03 04:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2576187463 dhdinh100_4 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2576234532 In Chapter 2, industrialism & consumption are shown at the beginning of the chapter, prioritizing mass production and consumption over individual needs. The quote "now turn them so that they can see flowers and books" relate to the theme of industrialism and consumption" (pg 20) and shows that they don't want the babies to have access to the resources which are books and flowers. As this can be because books are used for knowledge and flowers are for natural beauty, they can't experience this because they are Deltas, second from the lowest of the ranks.]]> 2023-05-03 05:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2576234532 epineda1021_2 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2577246497 In chapter 2 it talks about conditioning the babies. They are conditioned at a very young age. Like I said in the other chapter their life are set out for them. They are basically brainwashed. "They'll have that repeated forty or fifty times more before they wake; Then again on Thursday , and again on Saturday. A hundred and twenty times three times a week for thirty months. After which they go on to a more advanced lesson" (pg.28). They are teaching them racism. ]]> 2023-05-03 19:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2577246497 epineda1021_2 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2577255134 In chapter three it talks about sexuality. They basically make them explore their sexuality. Keep in mind they are 7-8 years old. They are names after important people. The students find it weird and sad that they have no family while the professor thinks the opposite. He mocks the their mother and her child. "My baby, my baby, over and over again" (pg 38). ]]> 2023-05-03 19:52:36 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2577255134 epineda1021_2 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2578736211 In part 2 it connects to cost of happiness because the government supplies drugs to the people so they don't feel any other type of emotion besides happiness. Again they are controlled by their every move. The government is doing this because if they are all feeling the same emotion the more stable they are. "Helmholtz shook his head. "Not Quite. I'm thinking of a queer feeling I sometimes get, a feeling that I've got something important to say and the power to say it--only I don't know what it is, and I can't make any use of the power (69)".]]> 2023-05-04 19:08:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2578736211 jnguyen207_4 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2578737679 "For in nature it takes thirty years for two hundred eggs to reach maturity.

With the quote "erotic play between children had been regarded as abnormal" (pg. 32), it means that kids are starting to explore sexuality at a young age with each other and not what how it used to be or "our time".

The quote "Do nothing whatever to increase consumption" (pg.31). The pursuit of consumption fels the rejection of non-essential facets of an individual's growth and challenges the fundamental concept of personal autonomy. ]]> 2023-05-05 05:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2579119864 dhdinh100_4 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2579119960 To increase consumption in the World State, they are introduced to a drug called "Soma".

There are people playing tennis and some playing golf.

How their friendship came to be. Bernard is now realizing that if someone acts differently or if he acts differently then they can be in trouble. Bernard wants more than what they offer him. "I feel I could do something much more important. Yes and more intense, more violent. But what? What is there more important to say?" (70). They are feeling something like an urge. They can't express feelings so it is something different which they have to be careful about because they could get in trouble.]]> 2023-05-08 19:04:25 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2582562645 dhdinh100_4 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2583348594 Part 2 of chapter 4, we are introduced to another way that the citizens are being controlled. As Mr. Helmholtz Watson said, "If there was some different way of writing... or else something else to write about.." (pg. 69), I think that this quote, in my opinion, best captures the idea of social control in that civilization. Helmholtz is fully capable of writing about anything new, but society forbids him from doing so.]]> 2023-05-09 07:07:44 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2583348594 dhdinh100_4 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2583391897 In part 2, we learn about a new machine that has been created by an engineering company. The quote "He opened the door of his lock-up and called to a lounging couple of Delta-Minus attendants to come and push his machine out on to the roof" (pg.64) means industrial and technological developments that have made it possible for items to be produced and consumed on an enormous scale. It represents the world state's fixation with productivity, efficiency, and consumerism, as well as society's value placed on comfort and pleasure. ]]> 2023-05-09 07:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2583391897 dhdinh100_4 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2584272881 In this chapter, we learned that their transportation is a machine similar to a helicopter.

Everyone was acting the same. When Lenin arrived they immediately got served soma which basically kept them busy. Everyone is together so no one is alone. Everyone takes drugs t have a good time.

The quote "The loving cup of strawberry ice-cream soma was passe from hand to hand" (pg. 80 - 81) shows that soma has been turned into a drink. In this scene, they treated soma like the blood of christ as they are all drinking it in church. ]]> 2023-05-10 18:24:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2585938836 dhdinh100_4 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2585957546 In part we, we get to witness what Bernard is doing throughout the day. The quote "After an early dinner at the Aphroditaeum he took leave of his friend and, hailing a taxi on the roof, told the man to fly to the Fordson Community Singery" (pg. 78) shows that he is spending money on food and taxi to go where I needs to go.

The quote "and stepping hard on the accelerator, he started his propeller" (pg. 92) shows that the "car" in their world is a flying vehicle and more like a helicopter than a car compared to us. It's cool to see what technology they have in this world as in the story, this book takes place in the future and I'm excited to see what the future holds for us. ]]> 2023-05-11 18:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2587640798 dhdinh100_4 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2587640841 In parts 1 and 2 of chapter 6, we see another way they can consume soma, it's by eating icecream sundae.

When Bernard and Lenina reach their hotel in Santa Fe, they immediately notice that each bedroom is adorned with items that cater to all five human senses, as depicted in the following quote "Liquid air, television, vibro-vacuum massage, radio, boiling caffeine solution, hot contraceptives, and eight different kinds of scent" (pg. 100).

Today having an alcoholic parent or guardian is hard because they are not even a parent. Meaning that they aren't present or don't even take care of you. John experienced this. "Or else she drank the stuff that Pope brought and laughed a great deal and went to sleep. Sometimes she was sick. Often forgot to wash him, and there was nothing to eat except tortillas", (page 127).]]> 2023-05-17 01:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2593906776 dhdinh100_4 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2595111355 For this chapter we see there is a random green suit case. The quote "The first thing he saw was a green suit-case" (pg. 142), states that its the first thing that he saw. When you opened the suit case, it is actually a machine that is able to carry and give things to you, similar to a dispenser but in a suit case. It crazy how the technology has advance like making a suit case into technology instead of it just being something you carry. ]]> 2023-05-17 18:14:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2595111355 dhdinh100_4 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2595111388 Significant progress has been made in personal transportation, allowing people to acquire their own flying vehicles without the cost being a limiting factor. The quote "Bernard as he climbed out of the helicopter" (pg. 145) shows that there are people in the world who do have their own flight transportation but tend to be only rich. ]]> 2023-05-17 18:14:25 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2595111388 dhdinh100_4 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2596960697 In this chapter 10, we are able to see Bernard get talked about. The quote "By his heretical views on sport and soma, by the scandalous unorthodoxy of his sexlife, by his refusal to obey the teachings of teachings of our Ford and behave out of office hours" (pg. 149) shows that Bernard is someone who is being controlled about the things in the society and now he is someone who doesn't want to obey orders. ]]> 2023-05-19 01:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2596960697 dhdinh100_4 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2596960723 In this chapter, we are able to see the advancement and industrialism of how society has changed over the years. The quote "Bernard had entered the room and was advancing between the rows of fertilizers toward them" (pg. 148) shows that the fertilization in the rows was how they made babies. That is what they used now and not from doing the deed. ]]> 2023-05-19 01:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2596960723 dhdinh100_4 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2597924571 In chapter 11 we see that it shows how soma is taking over the World State. Used as something to control the society, in the quote "The return to civilization was for her the return to soma was the possibility of lying in bed and taking holiday after holiday, without even having to come back to a headache or a fit of vomiting without ever being made to feel as you always felt after peyotl, as though you'd done something so shamefully anti-social that you could never hold up your head again" (pg. 154).

The quote "Refuses to take soma, and seems much distressed because of the women Linda" (pg. 160) shows that he doesn't want to take any more soma that the society is putting on the people so that means that he isn't giving money to the government anymore as he is no longer buying any soma. ]]> 2023-05-19 18:53:31 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2597924635 dhdinh100_4 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2600470495 In this part, we get to see that everyone has a certain amount of soma ration that keeps them controlled throughout their life. The quote "The day's soma ration" (pg. 164) states that everyone has a certain amount of soma. The amount of soma is used to controlled people's lives as it changes how they act and everyone relies on it. ]]> 2023-05-22 18:33:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2600470495 dhdinh100_4 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2600470567 In part 2, helicopters are very coming as we continue reading the book. The quote "Three weeks in a helicopter" (pg.167) shows that helicopters are practically cars for their world as everyone has one and you can even live in it. Like cars, everyone has one and we can live in it like a mobile home as the quote is stating they lived int in it for 3 weeks. ]]> 2023-05-22 18:33:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2600470567 dhdinh100_4 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2602216196 In this chapter get to see that soma is being taken again to get rid of pain or a certain feeling.

When Lenina was talking about how she was in love with John, Henry suggested being in love with John, Henry said "perhaps you need a pregnancy substitute... or else an extra-strong V.P.S treatment" (pg. 187). There are no more of the traditional methods of calming down emotions that overwhelms people, rather they resort to treatments. ]]> 2023-05-25 02:55:15 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2604133582 dhdinh100_4 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2604133744 In chapter 13 we see that Lenina is simply bewildered when John tries to explain to her how he is trying to express his love for her, so she turns to approaching him for sex. This upsets him, and he starts calling her a "whore," and things only go worse from there. The quote "But when she unbuckled her white patent cartridge belt and hung it carefully over the back of a chair, he began to suspect that he had mistaken" (pg. 192). Even after all the explaining John had to do, Lenina was lost as the control from the World State has had such a big impact on her that she truly doesn't know what real love is. ]]> 2023-05-25 02:55:21 UTC https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2604133744 dhdinh100_4 https://padlet.com/dhdinh100_4/iwhpjh9ha1z2elv7/wish/2605707060 In chapter 14, John is shown sitting with Linda as she lies dying. Kids rush into the room, and something interesting happens. The quote "Disgraceful? Bu what do you mean? They're being death conditioned" (pg. 203). Although it may sound like a pretty harsh approach, it is one way to help children grow up not worrying about death. This kind of time investment guarantees complete control over how the upcoming generation will be created.
