There are several ideas i would like to talk about in my analysis of Brave New World. These are for example, the relationship between what is seein in the novel and how it parallels our world today, or the fact that the people seem to be living in a society that holds false pretenses, or the fact that the peopl are being controlled by not having the ability to express their emotions, or maybe the idea that ther is no truo definition of happiness, what is happiness, what is productiveness? These are all idaes i find hidden throughout the book Brave New World and each one brings on differnet perspectives in my reading of the novel. My thesis could be " In the book A brave New World, it is not hard to beleive that the notion of two opposing world battling for survial parralels the world we find ourselves living in todays' society". A couple resources i could use for support to such analysis could be the book 1984, or even a song from one of my favorite bands. The reason why i could i use 1984 for support, is because it seems to parallel BRave new world through a certain aspect, the people in both societies are in a way hindered from the "truth" and niether societies are allowed to express their individuality, both societies in these two books seem to be in reality two societies struggling to overcome one another. Therefore i could tie in these smiliarites betwee the two books to express my ideas of brave new world and have other perspective throught which i could arrive at my comments. Moreover, the reason why i could use the song from the band Enter Shikari, is because it first of all comes off their new album which holds the idea of government power and in a way how we are being overcome by technology and capatilastic views. The Intro has fascninating lyrics which tie into the whole fact of what society are we truly turning into, are we being controlled by technological advances, are we truly becoming productive, or are we solely complying to the wishes and desires of other who stifle us with their chains of power. What does it mean to live in the society we do today? Must we unite? these are a couple reasons as to why i could tie this track into my analysis of brave new world.
Lyrics: "An aidless and harrowing future is developing for our generation and generations to come.But as I walk the chartered streets of this familiar oblivion I recognize nothing but underling unconsciousness.In which we have almost comfortably drowned.It is madness! This normality is madnessWe are clinging to manufactured crippling constraintsWe must no longer commute between brand laden homes and quickly accepted aimless roams from our factories of slavery to walls of illusive bravery[We must unite!]And we must let the floodgates open.Here tonight I clock a thousand heads!Here to unite through, common, Dreads."

Jose first off i would like to say that you did a fairly good job with your blog this week. I really found the idead of comparing our world today with the world depicted in the novel intriguing (probably spelt it wrong). I think you could contruct a really solid essay with that topic. There are a lot of possible things you could talk about and this is one of the better ideas i have seen so far. The bit about people in Brave New World living in a world with false pretenses was also very interesting to me. The sources you would use to support your topics were very nice too. 1984 is one that i would use as well but the song that you found is really good. The lyrics do really correlate with what we have been discussing in class so far. It is definitely an "out of the box" source and i think that it would really enhance your essay. But on the whole, good job with your blog this week and i think you will have a good topic to talk about for your essay.
