Thank you because I can see how people could find it confusing but I praise your conviction Being in Year 11 I first Read Brave New World (please don't use BNW have none of you read Orwell's 1984! - the ideas about Newspeak and narrowing our vocabulary) on holiday in Portugal and it is, in many ways a much greater book than 1984 because it has so many sutbleties and such ironic humour

Hi, im in yr 10 in britain and am currently doing some coursework on the novel!! my first oppinion was actually, what a rubbish and confusing book, is there a point?? but as i read further into the novel, it becomes more easy to understand and i actualy really enjoyed the book!! coursework came around and we had to pick 3 themes from the book and talk about them in detail, such difficulty!! despite understanding the book fairly well, i still dont really understand the themes!! a lot of them have stuff to do with the 'science as a means of control' and the way that sex is cheapened!! has anyone any ideas?? brilliant book, hope to read more in the future!!
