How Does John Mature In Brave New World

Decent Essays
John the Savage is the only person in the brave new world born naturally to a mother. John is unique with an identity and a family relationship. He fails to fit into the Savage Reservation and the “brave new world” due to actually having parents and having different point of views than other people.

John having parents was not a usual thing in the “brave new world. In Brave New World, the world state has made strength by hereditarily building its nationals to a chance to be cheerful for who they are and what they do. People are not normally born; they are transferred to hatcheries. The kids are mentally manipulated to learn the right intelligence to fit into the society. John was not manipulated to learn the things the rest of the people had

    One of the leading factors which lead to John to suffer was that he was incapable of adapting to the World State’s society where he was unable to deal with certain situations with the appropriate course of action. This was due to the fact that John was raised in an environment in which he was in a way ‘conditioned’ to run away from his difficulty with facing it. This was seen when he isolates himself in the lighthouse away from society after failing to achieve his goal of changing the emotionless people of the World State.

    English Essay Communication is the act in which you use words, sounds, signs, or behaviours to exchange information or to express your ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc., to somebody else. This maybe so, but it is evident in the short story, “The Father” by Hugh Garner, that the character Johnny and his father have no progress in their ability to connect with one another.
