Brave New World Diary

826 Words4 Pages

In order to understand more about “Brave New World”. I decided to write a diary from Lenina’s point of view, who is the main character. This book takes place in a utopian society, which it divides itself in five castes (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon). In this society people can’t have babies, families or feelings. Lenina belongs to the Beta caste which means she is a shallow product of a materialistic society, but in her diary we can see her struggling against her caste. On her diary Lenina wanted to be loved by John and become a mother. I chose an informal tone because journals are personal and nobody is supposed to read them. The audience that I am targeting are teenagers because they have to know from a different point of view Lenina’s …show more content…

But I know what love is, love is when I see John. Is it right to feel this way? I don’t care what society thinks and I hope he feels the same way, and we could form a family. FAMILY, I don’t know what is that, but I will find the answer. June 22 Dear diary Babies are little persons. I write you this because at the lab I saw how they were created and I want one. But what if my friends feel upset with this stuff of being a mom like Linda? I don’t know how to handle this. This is my personal little secret and I hope nobody can know about it. I almost forgot to tell you, I feel bad. Do you know what John did? He tried to kill me. I can’t be with somebody that doesn’t love me. I respect and love myself. So I think that my plans with John will never become real. July 25 This is the worst day of my life, John killed himself. I feel awful because I loved him so much. I don’t know how I am going to live without him. He was my life, even though he didn’t feel the same way as I did. John, you will always be on my mind and heart. Bye my true, only and best friend, my diary. I hope you will hear my problems for the next

Everyone can relate to losing someone you have feelings for. In the book Roberto loses his best friend Enzo and now he is all alone, “ Roberto rocked back and forth on the ground, holding Enzo’s body tight, keeping it tight, keeping it warm, though it no longer mattered. Sadness blanketed their world. Roberto curled over and whispered hoarsely in Enzo’s ear, “You didn’t freeze. At least you didn’t freeze”(Napoli 100).

However, John’s forced exposure to Linda’s sexual relationships placed him far away from that true home within himself, amounting to exile. This exposure was very central in formulating John’s rejection of sexual behavior outside of marriage, thus rejecting a major component of civilized society itself. John transformed this rejection into anger when he thought of the men who visited his mother: “He hated them all – all the men who came to see Linda” (Page 125). As a result, these experiences enriched John by giving his life more direction and leading him to place more value on personal connections with women. When tempted by Lenina’s aesthetic beauty, he erupted, “’Detestable thought!’

In a place where marriage or even monogamy isn't a thing anymore, it shows a huge gap between Lenina and John's views and cultures. John is focusing more on deep human relationships which bring happiness and valuable human experiences and Lenina focuses on immediate gratification and physical satisfaction through meaningless sex. This shows how the Brave New World society has taken away one of the most basic human rights, being allowed to feel how you and form relationships with others. The culture gap is shown again later in Chapter 13, when John says, "The murkiest den, the most opportune place, the strongest suggestion…shall never melt mine honour into

The reader encounters a repetition from Lenina in the start and the end of the passage chosen with “I don’t like it”, which shows how Lenina feels while visiting the reservation with Bernard, one of the other main protagonist of the novel. However, it is not the proof of how Lenina reacts throughout the passage to this new civilization she is discovering. Lenina is questioning Bernard about what they are both observing and as Lenina reacts outrageously, Bernard is taking the novelty factually and philosophically. While Lenina is throwing questions after questions to Bernard such as “What is the matter with him?” , “But how can they live like this?”, “old?”, he answers all of them rhetorically with “He's old, that's all”, or with, “these people

Haley Tanner’s “Vaclav and Lena” is a novel that has its unique ways of connecting to the readers’ past and their personalities. Its plot might not be related to anything people here in this country might have experienced, but the minute details that the book introduces can really stand out to anyone who comes across them.

Speak (1999), a novel written by Laurie Halse Anderson, is about Melinda Sordino, a girl whose problems started the day she was raped. That tragic event led to many changes in her life, she got isolated from the people that surrounded her, including family, friends and classmates. She did not speak to any one, feeling trapped and prey of her own thoughts and emotions, which is why, for this written assignment I’ve decided to write a diary entry in which Melinda Sordino talks about a dream she had that changed her perspective about life. The reason why I chose this type of text is because I think that the informal style and the first-person point-of-view allow the readers to place themselves in the same position as the one writing it. In this case, the diary entry goes for all those teenagers that, as Melinda, feel trapped and alone in a cruel world, thinking they do not fit on it.

Akhmatova’s melancholic diction initially reveals her sorrow, but the tone transitions to serious and introspective when she uses allusions to religious martyrdom and imagery of fixed objects. These contemplations are later resolved when she integrates imagery of liberation to portray an ultimately triumphant and optimistic outlook towards the future. Within the first sections, Akhmatova employs melancholic diction to convey her grief. In “Prologue,” she writes “that [Stalin’s Great Purge] was a time when only the dead could smile” (Prologue, Line 1), which suggests it was preferable to die than to live and emphasizes her despondency.
