Answer the following questions from the first 6 chapters of Brave New World: how have they created equality or conformity? How have they reduced conflict, specifically in regards to religion, relationships, and individual rights? How have they created or forced happiness/conformity? Make a claim about this society as either a utopia or a dystopia based the rest of your blog entry. Please be specific and remember that all answers to these questions should be claims, those claims should be backed by support, and that support should come from textual evidence (quotes).
This is due by midnight on Sunday 11/20. If you are going to KYA be sure to post before you leave.
While writing check out the song "Soma" by the Strokes...an obvious reference to the book if you listen to the lyrics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsbBH93Grp0
Or check out the Smashing Pumpkins' "Soma" about not feeling, but not necessarily an overt reference to the novel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OFIF6X4S-w
