Brave New World Essay
The novel Brave New World was written by Aldous Huxley in 1932. Huxley's tale of a genetically engineered future society that used drugs and believed in promiscuous sexual relations would go on to become what some called a "Great Book". Brave New World was interesting, at some points odd, but always intriguing. Huxley crafted a piece of literature which included passages and chapters that are very odd and "racy" even in today's day in age, not to mention 1932. He pushed the envelope, and came out with what would become a classic novel. One may believe that Brave New World became a classic due to the general craziness of the basic plot, or due to Huxley's startlingly accurate predictions of the future (ie: Genetic Engineering, World War II, etc.).

Brave New World has a minor writing inconsistency. Up until the final chapters, Huxley uses detail to help the reader picture the civilization that he is telling of, but he does not go into any real depth with his descriptions (as perhaps an Ernest Hemingway would). In the final chapter as the lighthouse and John's new life is being introduced, Huxley goes into great detail when describing the situation. He uses vivid words and spends several pages describing John's lighthouse and surrounding areas, whereas he had not spent much time in prior chapters describing much of anything. ht for during the course of THE ENTIRE NOVEL he just gives up, without any second thoughts. Huxley just expects the reader to accept this, and not give any thought to it. However, once a person builds such strong beliefs as Bernard had
