A Brave New World: Chapter Analysis

Decent Essays
I wrote a new chapter based on the book “Brave New World” written by Aldous Huxley. That is called “The hidden one” about John, a man that had a scaring past that will afflict his present. It was written in a serious tone and I hope to address an adult audience.
In my new chapter, I tried to use a semi - formal language in third person point of view. I linked it with social relationships because I have the intention on emphasizing on the harm people´s actions can have on other people´s lives, especially parents on their children.

In the book, John does not agree with the sexual freedom people of London display. John was raised on a reservation that had traditional values towards relationships and he reads Shakespeare who portrays monogamous

    When discussing gender roles or feminism in literary works, several would tend to gravitate to the idea of gender focusing solely on the plight of women. However, feminism and the restrictive power of gender roles heavily affect men as well. The dynamic of people believing sexism to only influence women is intriguingly played out in Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s short story “The Yellow Wallpaper.” Many of the analyses I’ve read explain how Gilman’s story shows societal pressures affecting women during that time and how they still have an impact on us today. While this popular theory is evident to be true, even by Gilman’s own admission, I would challenge this idea and push to say that while, yes, “The Yellow Wallpaper” does enlighten us to the…

Alaskans thought he didn’t respect the Alaskan wilderness, while others could not believe someone could act so impulsive. Some even believed, “‘Krakauer is a kook if he doesn’t think Chris ‘Alexander Supertramp’ McCandless was a kook,’ […] ‘McCandless had already gone over the edge and just happened to hit bottom in Alaska.’” (71).…

    Throughout Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, there are some chapters that readers may feel lack information or any plot movement that pertains to the book in a direct way and would like to just pass through those chapters as quickly as possible because those particular chapters are thought of as filler chapters. If there is one thing a reader should take away from studying any Jane Austen piece is that she has a talent to formulate and place events in an appropriate order so that everything that happens throughout the novel fits perfectly together like a puzzle and that she has a rhyme and reason for the information she expresses throughout the book. A particular chapter that should be focused on is Chapter 10 in Volume One. On the first read-through, this chapter seems unimportant based on how it is primarily about writing letters and killing time until Jane Bennet has recovered from the…

    Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is a complex novel full of controversy, in a timeline that is both distant and relatable to the reader. In the world that is A.F. 632 life is something to indulge in, acting on one's urges is common, along with overly active sex lives, and constant drug abuse.

Bernard is representative of the common modern day reader, as he is logical, contemplative, and feels real emotion, unlike his cookie cutter counterparts.…
