Chapter 1 begins explaining about scientific achievements such as human cloning, rapid maturation, and prenatal conditioning. It kind of seems like it's describing the setting as a utopia but the text also seems very satirical. Chapter 2 seems like world state tries to condition it's inhabitants to consume and spend as much money as possible so the world state will always remain rich and full of wealth. Chapter 3 appears to describe how the world state runs in a very abstract way and it also slyly describes how corrupted the world state really is.

I have gotten through the entire book and I think the book is very abstract and interesting. The last few chapters explain that they where exiled to the island and they lost their fight against the word state. The author also starts talking about religion in a very abstract and metaphysical way that made it ridiculously confusing and hard to understand. I think Huxley wrote this book with a lot of satire in it and was critisizing the world in that time period of certain governments and certain regions of the earth.

Nov 4, Blog 1 I have chosen the book __Never Let Me Go__; I chose this book because it's about cloning, which i find a very interesting topic. There's a movie about which I haven't seen yet but I plan to watch it after I have read the book.

Nov. 18, Blog 2 I haven't read much past the third chapter; what I have read though tells about how this girl and there friends are in this private school and all their problems throughout the year. I haven't had much time to read with my photography research paper, advanced comp. paper and the english lit. test paper.

Dec. 6, Blog 3 I haven't really read much past chapter three, sadly. Hamlet seems to be a pretty decent play,although, boring at times. I think Hamlet is hallucinating his fathers ghost. The actresses that play Ophelia could do better, and the actual movie of Hamlet starred the same woman that played Marla Singer in Fight Club, which we should watch in class:Fight Club helps you think differently about your point of view on life and how you live it.
