Brave new world post 4 by Zibraan Ali


Towards the end of the book after the characters get arrested and during that period the author talks a lot about science which I really liked. I thought it was nice for the author to write about the science and explain to the readers what this “new world” is. Also the punishment that Mond gave to John, Bernard and Helmholtz is pretty nice and it would help them in the future. In chapter 17 John mostly talks about religion and how he wants religion to be a big factor in his life. In the end John Is left alone while the other two people are taken away to an island. Chapter 18 is really weird to me. I didn’t get it at all. Why was John whipping himself? While reading that chapter I felt thought that John was a type of attraction like lions in a zoo. Also I think that the author could have made the ending better and unique. The author just brought Lenina out of nowhere and then john goes and whips her? What was all that about? I didn’t even understand that part. Thought the author did make some of the ending interesting. I liked the part where John was used a freak and everyone was going at his house to interview him. In the end the author made John suicide. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good either. I think that the author should have gone into more details and explained a bit more about the reasons of John’s suicide. What do  you think?
