A Brave New World was written by Aldous Huxley. It was published in London in 1932. My sophomore year of high school I took British Literature. In one marking period we focused on the books 1984, by George Orwell and A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Both of these books parallel each other. They both represent utopias that are trying to be created but there are always flaws in the system that make these nations dystopia's. People that go crazy are excommunicated or given somma in A Brave New World. Also, children are taught to celebrate death and babies are born in test tubes. Both societies show that there is a power that lies and takes control over others. Not for the sake of others but for themselves.
