Brave New World Post 5

(1) How did you feel about the end of the book? Was it surprising to you? Describe in details on how you felt?
I don't really think the end of the book was surprising because you could tell he was under a lot of pressure and I knew he would probably burst pretty soon. I guess I wasn't expecting him to take it that far, but I feel really bad for him because he was so different and everyone always made fun of him.

(2)
What would you ask Aldous Huxley about this book? Why?
Well I would ask Aldous Huxley why he made a large part of this book revolved around sexual activity. Does he really think the future will be the way he depicts it? I would also ask if any of the characters he wrote about were based on real people. It's too bad he's dead.

(3)
Give 3 words that you didn't understand and there difintions. What did you think about those words?
* Voluptuous: To be attractive, alluring, buxom, sexy etc.
* Undulation: Moving with smooth, wavy motions
* Demur: To raise a doubt or objection

1. I agree with you on the part about taking it too far because he should have not killed himself. Also that I didn't think he was going to burst.

2. I don't know why he put alot of sexual activity and if he thought it was the future. Also if thepeople were based on real people, then it would be a nice book to see who some people are like.

3. I like those words because they are big different words that you don't here about it that often. Also because they are describing.
