Brave New World Ending

The Book A Brave New World had an ending that I did not expect, but truly didn't really enjoy. The whole book seemed like a rip off of 1984. The entire plot overall was just about the same. A dominant oppressive society, a member of this society attempts to rebel, a strong female character is involved for a driving love story, it always ends in tragedy. I really didn't think much of this book, it was cool, but it seemed to be very parallel to 1984 in all respects.

Brave New World

The new book that I am reading is Brave New World. This book has a very unusual look on the future that closely resembles Orwell's novel 1984. Their society runs on a caste system which does seem to work due to the fact that their society is thriving, however the lower caste system, and upper caste system have little to do with their own fate. Free choice is sacrificed in creating a "perfect" community and when you loose free will then society can not be perfect. Being breed to do one job completely eliminates freedom.
