Example Of Narrative Essay On Hyacinthum

Great Essays
I am Emnjundi Jacqueline Longton (call me Jackie), and this is my story.
I live in the utopia of Colorum, or perhaps it is the dystopia of Colorum. Utopia is certainly what our world appears to be. We all have our jobs, our lifestyles. When we change, we can change our surroundings if we wish. Everyone is happy, except for those who are misfits. Those who don’t get along with our law. No one knows what happens to them, just that they get removed. To where? No one knows. To people in Hyacinthum, all that matters is gathering our Productum- medicine, and herbs.
Each Regio has a Productum. Viridi for food, wood, Rubrum for recreational objects (including stationary), Flavo creates art, fabrics, clothes, that sort of stuff. Ostrinus has glass and

Not on any map, but that is fine. Hyacinthum is a small village, not too big. Smallest Regio, actually. I live by myself, as people in Colorum can choose what Regio they want to live in at age eight. My parents live in Flavo, along with my twin brother, Jasper Longton. (He didn’t have a bizarre name. Lucky little Jasper). He was an artist, a sculptor. I was a poet, a writer (obviously), and that’s why I came to Hyacinthum. There is so much peace here. No loud crowds. Just the clouds and the lake, carrying me to Tomorrow, where it is just me, paper, bird feather, and …show more content…
I like this place, actually. You know, my second choice was here, but Hyacinthum was the underdog in population, so I went there to help it grow and prosper,” I say, my mind wandering. Ostrinus has always been reserved, secretive. I don’t know anyone from it, except those placed in our Education Group, and I didn’t even know them well. Who would we get? Please someone new! We had Sharley last year, and if I had to stand one more day pretending to be fi killed me. I don’t say anything, but I honestly didn’t like her. I still don’t like her, at all. In fact, I hate her. I loathe her, I despise

    Have you ever peered into the mirror and sensed that you did not appertain to the world in which you are a part of? Within a dystopian society, it is conveyed that your world is ideal, however this is a phantasm hiding the fact that we are living in an oppressed reality. On page 42 of “Harrison Bergeron”, it is expressed that even in a seemingly impeccable society; those who embody imperfection are ladened unequal to those who do not. In Harrison Bergeron, page 44, it is expressed that those who oppose the rules of such a society are met with an inhuman punishment.

    In the modern world, there are many different countries with different systems of government. In Aldous Huxley’s utopian world, there is only one country, the “World State,” and one government, led by Mustapha Mond and the world controllers. This government system works and runs as a well-oiled machine with very little disruptions, which contributes to its success as a government. For the people of this “World State,” their government and habitations are a utopia, as is evident through the complacency of the citizens. Therefore, Mustapha Mond and the world controllers are successful in their creation of a “World State” and paradise, through the mindset of the citizens and the operation of the government.…

The structures of these societies have been heavily influenced by climate and location, and as these societies evolved and emerged, so did their work systems and technologies.

    Hunger, poverty, and war, our society is rampant with these assumed unavoidable dysfunctions of society. Aldous Huxley’s world famous novel Brave New World presents us with a world where social unrest and the ills of society are all but eliminated. Huxley imagines a future of total social and economic stability; where “Community, Identity, Stability” is the world motto (Huxley pg.1). There is no desire for revolution against the elite leaders of the World State, and there are no disagreements; everybody is content with their pre-assigned purpose in society. However, Huxley shows us through intricate uses of symbolism, allusions, and tone that achieving this seemingly ideal society of social stability and total control sacrifices what truly…
