The novel Brave New World is an interesting book that is extremely hard to understand the contents. Brave New World talks about the world in the future, where the majority of people are living in a new world, called the Society. In the Society, the people are actually made, and they are manipulated by the technicians to have high knowledge or low knowledge. Depending on their abilities, the people are divided into a caste system. From the most talented to least talented, the people are distributed to Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Epsilon. Depending on what caste you are in, you have different kinds of jobs. If you are an Alpha, then your job is high quality job that needs a high quality mind. If you are an Epsilon, then your job is low quality job that doesn’t have special requirements. After the working hours are done, the people in the Society have free time, usually spent to have relationship with others. In the Society, there is a motto that drives everyone. The motto is that ‘everyone belongs to everyone else.’ Thus, there are no private things whatsoever. Anything that is private, the Society thinks that it is dumb and should be made public. Thus, even in relationships, everyone goes out with one another. In the Society, sex life is a thing that everyone started ever since they were kids. Spending a night with someone is more of a matter-of-fact thing for the people in the Society. Then, when the people are going through hardships or are depressed, they take soma, which is a type of drug that sends you to your own land where the mind is filled with happiness. Sadness doesn’t exist when you take soma. However, the sadness comes again when the effects of soma are gone. However, basically, the people are like people who were educated up to junior high school. They believe whatever they believed since they were young and they have no desire to stop believing it. However, there is one Alpha that refuses what he used to believe and wants answers to his questions. Later on, he finds the answers but he finds himself kicked out of the Society.
There are more details that are crucial in the novel but that is the basic summary of the story, which is confusing. To the people in the present world, the Brave New World doesn’t make sense. However, as the story goes on with Bernard meeting new people and going through many events, the novel tells the readers many things in the Society are happening in the world and some of them might happen soon. Brave New World is like a warning to the people in the present world to what might happen in the future. It’s difficult to understand but once the meaning of the book sinks into your mind, the novel is very interesting.

Great writing. I like the way you point out that the people of the 'society' believes that everybody belongs to everybody. I agree that in our world, it's hard to understand the people represented in the book. The soma striked me as a sort of alchahol today. When people drink, they forget their worries but that's just for a moment. It all comes back again after they become sober.
