Reading this book was very challenging in the beginning. I understood that the government was making embryos and they did like people giving birth to babies. Then we had them saying something about life after ford invented the assembly line. This is still a very confusing novel to me.
I will be arguing that people have a hard time to except new ideas when they are influenced by a greater power. For example, when the embryos are brought up as children they learn to do a job. For the rest of their lives all they will do is do this particular job and love it until they die. You one can tell them that their job is boring because they will simply not listen to them. The government has done all they can so that outside influences will not affect them.
In my essay I will use the video by Sir Ken Robinson. It reminded me of BNW right away. He said something about education is like an assembly line. I thought about the kids in BNW were learning things just like on an assembly line. A job needs workers and then the government makes workers by teaching them what to do. They are making workers and teaching them at the same time.
Another source I will use is Shakespeare’s The Tempest. John makes a lot of references to Shakespeare’s plays. Caliban was cast out of society and so was John and his mother. They were put on a island and were classified as people who didn’t not follow the rules of society. John was given birth by his mother. In this world giving birth is discussing and against society. The irony is making artificial kids is against the rules of nature and John is being excluded from the world.
