Coming to a end..

Now that the school year is almost coming to a end I think that this English course has helped me out a lot. This whole school year has been a very long journey in a very short of time. My final for this course was a term paper that I have currently turned in and feel that I did a good job even though I feel that I could of added more information. I am proud that I have at least turned it in and I’m  at this point of my high school journey.

My Best Writing

I have a writer's conference coming up with Dr. Preston, and I am excited to go over my blog post about “It’s my life” and “My Big Question.”  I chose these two pieces for specific reasons. I want to show Dr. Preston my post about “It’s my life” to show how each individual or just myself have different ways onto viewing a topic or situation and how our decisions take action. “My Big Question” is my second piece I would like to show because it relates to how life is changing by the use of technology and how it even affects people we know.

Brave New World Essay

There are people that act who they tend to say to be but in reality they are not. People try to hide their real identity due to what happened in the past, and they want no one else to know. In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley there are multiple characters that act like someone who they are not, one of these characters is John the savage. Throughout the book we see how John changes his personality and tries to blend in with the rest because he was the only one that had a mother. John is different than most characters in many ways. John is the type of character that does the right thing but at the end changes. This relates to how people see society and how it changes them.

John is someone who is special in many ways. People see him differently because of where he comes from. In the beginning of the book we can see that John is someone who is lonely and like to do his own things. In chapter 8 we can see that John said "If one's different, one's bound to be lonely. They're beastly to one. Do you know, they shut me out of absolutely everything?” From what John said we can conclude that he did not have no one by his side because his mom would be sleeping with other men and he had no one else there for him.Therefore people looked at John and especially his mother differently for what they are.

People take drugs to take away the pain and to feel differently. Everyone in the Brave New World take soma for anything even when they’re going to sleep with someone else. In chapter 18 John reveals "Helmholtz exclaimed solicitously, "you do look ill, John!" “Did you eat something that didn't agree with you?" asked Bernard. The Savage nodded. "I ate civilization." From John’s and Helmholtz’s conversation we can see that John had taken some soma. John had felt guilty to what had happened between him and Lenina and how he rejected her. John is not used to how people live in the World State and he thinks off based on Shakespeare’s imagination. This also concludes that John changes because he was the only character the have not taken soma but his pain and guilt had got to him.

People evolve differently from someone’s first impressions because of the actions they had done. From Johns end of the story he could not take it no more from his mother’s death, Lenina and to the rest of the people’s lifestyle. At the end of chapter 18 the first arrivals said “Just under the crown of the arch dangled a pair of feet."Mr. Savage!" What they had seen was that John has committed suicide. This connects to the theme on how people see society and how society changes them. John did not have a great experience with people from the World State which then had cause the society to change him. The society had changed him because he started to see how people would act that ended up being too much for him to get used to.

In conclusion to how John had changed at the end  was that society had controlled him. Society took over John’s  life and who he was. Not everyone stays being who they say they are whether they keep saying it. Therefore people change their personalities and identity just to look like the rest.
