Brave New World #1

This book is really out there as far as concept goes; the people in the book are trying to either make perfect people or people who do the exact same thing, look the same, etc.  This book reminds me of a book that we read last year in Accelerated English 11, and that book was called Fahrenheit 451.  The book was set in a future time where books weren't allowed; the connection between these books is found where they are trying to scare the babies...they don't want them to be able to read or like flowers.  They don't want them to be smarter than the other classes/castes.  The only way that I can think of how this relates to the real world is conformity.  People conform to what other people want them to be and that's how they are.  In the book, the children don't know any better, but they are still being conformed into something in society.  They are told how to look (what color to dress in) and what kind of profession they will do.  The concept of creating people by science is really interesting.  I wonder why someone wanted to write a book with this concept.  It's pretty interesting at any rate.  This book, so far, has been a really quick read, and actually, pretty interesting.  I think that I will enjoy reading the rest of the book; it something different than what I normally read.
