One passage from my novel Brave New World that is significant to me is ‘Everyone belongs to everyone else.’ When I read this passage, I was shocked. First of all, it didn’t sound right at all in my point of view and standards. To me, the passage ‘Everyone belongs to everyone else’ meant something like ‘Everyone owns everyone.’ In addition, in the novel, the people in the society start to have sexual relationships with different people every day since they are elementary kids. Some people have relationships up to four or five relationships a day, according to the novel. I am irritated about the fact that I have to read this book about people having sex daily with different people multiple times. The reason why the passage is significant is because it is wrong and very interesting in many ways. Nowadays, people say that they rule their own life. I agree with them and I am very proud to say that I am the one who’s in charge of life. However, the passage contradicts the concept of people in charge of themselves. Everyone belongs to everyone else meant that someone is a property of somebody else and that somebody else is a property of someone else and the someone else is a property of some other person, for example. Some weird people around the world would agree with the passage from the novel but they are some people who have mental retardation. I think that the passage is another way of saying the title of the novel, Brave New World because the passage ‘Everyone belongs to everyone else’ is like a law that exists in the society. The novel has an idea of everyone belonging to everyone else and becoming one big union of people. I once watched an animation called ‘Evangelion’ and the animation deals with people trying to be themselves, unique and special, while a director of a special organization bring an event which makes every single person in the world becomes a type of liquid called CLC and becomes united. The director himself became part of CLC but his intention was to change and unite humans in a form which they won’t harm the nature anymore. Thus, I think that the passage ‘Everyone belongs to everyone else’ has similar meaning from the animation that I watched.
