Bernard's World Alone Quotes
This quote talks about how both Bernard and John feel alone in the society and John always thought in Bernard's world no one was alone. Which makes sense because even if you live in a perfect community or perfect world there will always be a few people that don't feel like they belong. I feel like the reason most people in Bernard's world feel like they belong is because they have soma and soma gets rid of all the feelings people don't won't like feeling sad unwanted scared any of those emotions, but Bernard doesn't take soma. Even if people live different we all feel the same emotions and I feel like the writer tried to show that in the quote. (121)

This quote talks about how Bernard wants to take Linda and John back to London with him.

    Jerry Renault Quotes

    Jerry Renault had a huge impact on me from the book. He was just a little freshman that nobody would have thought anything more about. He seemed as though he was just another kid to pick on, but it turns out he was something more than that. Jerry was sought out by Archie and considered to be a potential candidate of the coveted Vigils. Archie saw something in Jerry that nobody else did.…

    Death At Sunrise Quotes And Analysis

    This quote is taken place when Brent reaches the hospital and Brent is in a lot of physical pain and believes things will be best if he just dies. However, this last sentence states that Brent doesn’t want to die anymore. The author wanted to write these specific lines, because as a reader one can see the growth in Brent’s character and perception. We see in the beginning of the book how suicidal and self-destructive Brent was, from hiding knives in his room to his many suicide attempts. The wanting to kill himself is slowly subsiding while Brent is learning to appreciate life and his friends and family.…

    Quotes In Dolores Frediscoll

    The bus driver for the town of Sam Dent, Dolores Driscoll, seems very nice and caring, but there are definitely many examples throughout the first chapter that show her to be quite goofy. First of all, a lot of the things she says and the phrases that she uses are very out there and do not seem to make a whole lot of sense. In the second paragraph on page eleven Dolores says, “Doreen was a Pomeroy from Lake Placid, a sweet little ding-a-ling of a girl”. On page 31 paragraph two Dolores also says, “...and it scared the bejesus out of me, although I could not for the life of me tell you why”. These two sentences make her seem a little loony because the things she says are so unique, and even I rarely ever her people use those phrases. This is just one example of how the author portrays Dolores to be just a bit nutty.…

    Fahrenheit 451 Guy Montag Quotes

    In a dystopian society, the rules are slightly changed when they outlaw independent thought. The people in the society do not spend time on themselves, enjoy nature, or even read books. These rules get enforced by the firemen of the town who if they find a book, they burned it in four hundred and fifty one degrees. Guy Montag is a third generation fireman. Being the typical stereotype men, he takes life a different approach. He takes pride in his work and serves as a role model for twenty-fourth century town citizens. He goes through multiple struggles and conflict. He is the hero in this story's journey. This hero conflict starts when he meets his bohemian teenage neighbor, Clarisse McClellan.…

    Eric Hoffer Quotes

    I believe that Eric Hoffer's quote is acurate and represents the countless times in history when certain nations would create a a shpere of dominance or superiority over the larger majority that are no able to speak out against inequality. Britain and other Europeans fabricated a concept of "scientific racism" and saw those with darker skin as inferior and made the African people complete forced labor. This quote could also be interpreted that leaders, no matter good or bad, rule over their common majority because they are ruling in their personal best interest.…

    Roger Chillingworth Quotes

    The development of a character and how the character is perceived in a story really helps readers to figure out how the character is portrayed in the story. The Scarlet Letter is a story about a woman named Hester who has been convicted of adultery and has been sentenced to wearing the letter “A” on her chest for the rest of her life unless something changes. We first see Roger Chillingworth when Hester is let out of jail to stand on the scaffold, also known as the place of public shame, as part of her punishment, yet no one knew that it was Hester’s husband. Roger Chillingworth is not as much a character, but more of a symbol of sin and how the sin of people can change the way they act and the way they look. Roger Chillingworth’s appearance, the way he acts, and what the townspeople think about him progressively changes through the course if the story.…

    Claude Debussy Quotes

    One of Debussy’s quotes that really caught my attention said, “Music is the space between the notes.” –Claude Debussy. I thought of music in a different way after reading this quote, when I heard the word music I always thought of a person singing or lyrics to a song. There is a lot more to music than that and I have learned that from researching Debussy and being in this class has helped me also.…

    John Edgar Wideman Quotes

    Writer Chloe Rattray once said, “People aren't always what you want them to be. Sometimes they disappoint you or let you down, but you have to give them a chance first.” This quote may be interpreted as how just a small push of encouragement can help a person reach their goals. The quote is also relatable to John Edgar Wideman, author of “Our Time.” In his essay, Wideman speaks of his gangster brother, Robby, and the bad decisions he made. However, instead of helping his younger brother during his rough patches, Wideman stays in another city and does not involve himself with his family, especially his brother. If Wideman had encouraged Robby to stop his gangster ways, Robby most likely would have discontinued his criminal acts. In the end,…

    Government Control In Brave New World

    The children are told to hate lower castes and without questioning it, they do. Another ignorant case occurs when the Controller explains, “No pains have been spared to make your lives emotionally easy–to preserve you, so far as that is possible, from having emotions at all” (44). Everyone in Brave New World is mostly devoid of feelings. Without feelings they cannot experience sadness or anger or terror, the emotions that shape humans. To control their emotions to make the people all happy is making them ignorant to what real life is and what the people in John's village experience. Even when the humans do experience emotion, it is quickly cured: “You look glum! What you need is a gramme of soma […] One cubic centimeter cures ten gloomy” (60). Instead of experiencing the real emotions, they take drugs to wash away any negative feelings. In doing so, they once again are made ignorant to real life and real emotions, such as the feelings John's village experiences. Lenina is the best example of soma's…

    Pieter Bruegel's Neverlandish Proverbs

    In the Berlin Staatliche Art Museum, it displays Pieter Bruegel’s iconic oil on oak panel. It’s entitle “Neverlandish Proverbs,” which highlights 100 idioms that recognise sin, folly, and obscure activities. Specifically, in the lower right hand panel, six people can be found doing bizarre activities, such as, struggling to reach for a loaf of bread, looking for a small axe, yawning at an oven, and intensely playing tough-of-war with another man. These actions may seem arbitrary, but each action and object has a specific proverb associated to it.…

    Why Is It Impossible To Have A Utopian Society

    This could not work in the real word because there would be happiness and sadness; in their world there is no sadness . There needs to be ups and downs in life to make the ups seem great instead of just good. Humans are made to not be perfect and make mistakes. If there's no mistakes then how can humans know what it's like to truly be happy. “I want to know what passion is,” she heard John saying. “I want to feel something strongly.”(101) This is showing that the people in Brave New World do not have feelings. This is impossible to have in a society because people need to feel all the emotions. To feel every emotion helps appreciate the good times in life. It’s better to be able to feel the great times in life instead of live the mediocre lives the people live in Brave New World. The people take soma to feel happy and when they start to not feel as happy they just take more soma. Soma has no side affects to it that's why they take it all the time. Everyone has perfect health and only live till 60 years old. This is just showing how they don’t live in a very…
