BNW Rough Draft Morally‚ the novel: Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is not acceptable to me. The plot‚ suggestive actions‚ and even the overall standards in the book do not appeal to me as a reader. One example that demonstrates my dislike for the book‚ Brave New World‚ is on (pg 19-20): “’Bokanovsky’s Process‚’ … One egg‚ one embryo‚ one adult – normality. … A Bokanovskified egg will bud‚ will proliferate‚ will divide.” This instance from chapter one‚ personally as a reader‚ makes me dislike

Reflection of Brave New World After reading Brave New World I am left with several feelings. I will start with the bad feelings. One feeling that stuck with me was a feeling of disgust. To be honest this book pissed me off. I understand what Huxley is trying to do in this book‚ but why in this fashion? To begin with I hated the plot. The characters‚ the events‚ and the society itself made me furious. I didn’t enjoy the story at all. I thought it was a waste of a beautiful forming plot. The ending

With this I also hope to showcase a bit of an ‘old vs. new’ theme‚ especially with many iconic Melbourne structures. I hope to also
