Brave new world, what comes to mind when you think of the words “Brave new world?” This is the title of a book I just recently read in school. In was published in 1931. For a book that got published than and predicted things that would happen to people’s minds for the future and becoming more of a computer like person this book was dead on. I believe there are those people that like different books like this but I don’t believe I was one of those people
I read a very different book this year. I didn't exactly like it nor did a lot of other people in my class. It was just one of those books that some people either get really into it or they really don't like it. I believe I was one of those people who really didn't like it. I can understand how there are those people who could really get into it with all the references in literature but that’s just not how I felt about it.
To start off, everyone was made to think they are happy and if they weren’t happy they ate something to make them feel what they thought was happy. I just don’ t understand how something that bad could come up for the future. I would honestly end my life if it came to people really not living life and knowing what was really living.
One of the main characters “Lenina” is supposed to be a person who can go out and have sex with whoever she wants and not worry about anything. Every night that she goes out she remembers to take her “birth control pill” and she was being harvested for her eggs. If I were to be harvested for my eggs, I would be really mad. I would start to question why I am really here. Is this the only reason?
To really sum it all up if you like to read and really want to take the chance at a syfy type of future than you might get into this book. It has a lot of good references to Shakespeare and some may like it. I would at least give this book a shot it will have a surprising ending. Don’t want to ruin it for anyone willing to read it

POW# 6 resturant review
When choosing the right place to take someone out to eat you consider several different things. Some people make their decision based on if they have ever been there or if they even like that type of food. I like to go out to eat to Cinzetti's. To be completly honest I had never been there untill a couple months ago. Not thinking I would like it that much it was some of the best food I had in awhile, and for the price of only 15.99 per person for all you can eat it's a bargan!
POW#4 Irony
The irony of this is that people in "Brave New World" aren't worried about drugs, but that everything is being controled behind the scenes. In reallity the somma is killing them.

POW #4 "I Love You Beth Cooper"
Ever had a flash back to a moment you wish you could had done something different with yourself? This movie could be related to the movie "The Girl Next Door". If you loved that movie you will love the movie "I Love You Beth Cooper". Some of the actors/actresses that are in this film are Hayden Panettiere, Paul Rust, Jack Carpenter, and many more. Dennis (Paul Rust) is a geeky kid who just graduated from high school and hasn't done anything fun in his life and he hangs out with Beth Cooper(Hayden Panettiere) for a night and his whole life changes.

POW #3
Over the summer there was a fire that caught out next door and me and my family were just getting home. My sister looks over and starts screaming, I look over and notice my neighbors house on fire. I immediately get out and call 911. Not knowing if there was anyone in the house or not I gave the phone to my mom and broke in. I did quick walk through the house and didn't find anyone. While I was running back out the car from the garage exploded and I was thrown through the back sliding glass door. I awoke to a cold mist on my face and immediately ran to the front of the house, the next thing I knew my house and the other house to the right was catching and both of our sideing literally got melted off.
This is a very vived memory for me, because I fealt as though I was being a hero and stepping up in life. I feel like this is apart of a reason why I have chosen to become a marine and protect people's life's...

POW #2 SATIRE
This is a good example of satire because, MTV a popular tv station. It shows a lot of things that really aren't the best of things to do and tells us not to do it, but in reality people think it's what's cool or funny to do and so they talk sloppy saying "lol or idk" or act fake and hard or go do something really stupid and record it to be the next person on jackass. That is why this is an example of satire.

The Name Nolan
My name in Nolan. I don't exactly know where my name came from, but I know that my first name is a name that is passed down to the first born boy in every family. I'm actually named after my great grandfather that died a couple days before I was born, he died of cancer. My father and my Grandfather both had the name Nolan as well and they both went by there first name. I guess thats why my parents always called me by my middle name and thats just the name I got used to. I plan on naming my first born son Nolan.
