Brave New World Essay Blog

Well for this essay I believe I am going to argue how the book Brave New World compares and contrasts to the real world.  I think this is a very interesting point to argue because people look at the story and think wow this is so un-real and is nothing like the real world.  We did that when we read the book 1984 but when we looked closer and into the deeper meaning we actually saw that 1984 was very similar to some real world situations.  So I would like to connect Brave New World to real life to help open eyes.  The first source I was going to use to help prove my point was going to be Sir Ken Robinson's video.  His video compared how education worked and how it ran to the Industrial Revolution.  He used symbols such as assembly lines to show this and I believe this could really help out my essay because it is dealing with a real world topic and fits in perfectly with Brave New World because everything in that story is too based on the Industrial Revolution.  Another source I am thinking about using is Postmodernism for Beginners by Jim Powell.  I want to use this because it would help compare the Postmodernism found throughout the story which is also found throughout the real world, but in ways known as racism.   These two sources will help me immensley because both of them hit on two subjects found throughout the book that are very big and important and both of these ideas are found throughout the real world.  Another point that I would like to hit on in my essay would be how they are taking family and love out of life.  I would like to connect this to how people in the real world are taking things from people that keep them original and themselves and take out sources that could really help the individual.  I do not have a source yet for this but I am trying to find one.  I know this idea does not sound to good at the moment but I believe if I fix it up I can make a good argument and it will make sense.
