A Brave New World Chapter 3 questions

1. How do the children play together? What is childhood like?
       -The children have a very bleak childhood, because they are taught nothing but the fact that factories are good and industrialism is the way to go. They are outside playing in a very sexual manner because this is them "maturing" at a very young age.
2. How is our world depicted? How do we get from here to there?
        -Our world is shown in a way that it doesn't really seem like we know what we are doing, this is because we really don't. Our society thinks that it is so perfect when in reality we are the most broken thing in the world.
3. Why must games be so complex in this society?
        - Games are now so complex because as they did in the story adults want children to mature at a young age but are going about the process in a very wrong way.
 4. Why are strong emotions dangerous? Family relationships? Romance? Religion? Art? Culture?
        - In the story the world that they live in is said to be a Utpoia when in all reality its a Distpoia because everything is black and white. You learn things when the adults want you to know about them and if you go against what they say then you are considered to be able normal and treated as though you have something wrong with you.
5. How is sexuality used in this novel? Do you see any problems with it?
        -Sexuality seems to be the basis of this story. I say this because every part of the story that has been used so far has something to do with some kind of sexual reference or sexual part of a humans body.
6. What does Mustapha Mond do? What is his relationship to history?
        - Mustapha Mond is said to be the "History Teacher". He is one of the people that the children look up to when they are old enough to learn about what used to be going on in the world.
7. Is there anything unusual about Lenina Crowne? Bernard Marx? What? Why?
       -They both are people that go through the daily routine but seem to always stray away form the focus point of the day.
8. How does Huxley use the cinematic technique toward the end of this chapter?
9. What is soma? What are its uses?
10. How do people age in this society?
        - People in this society age not by their actual physical age but by how much they know and their physiological knowledge.
