QUESTONS: Why do you think the author put some appealing characteristics into his hypothetical world?In what ways does Brave New World match (or stray from) the satire model we discussed in class?
The author is trying to tell us by using positive traits that a perfect world is just one person's definition of perfect. Other people see "perfect" with different meaning then the one that rule the world. Bernard is an example because he wants something more than sex and false happiness. He wants to be free and gain something he can call his own. This mean the perfect world the book introduce is not really perfect because some people are still not satisfy with it. There is no perfect world no matter how good it is because someone is going to be unhappy about it.
The satire model is related with the book because the world in the book doesn't have what people don't want in our time. Things such as war, sickness, oldness doesn't exist, but in exchange we must give up our freedom to gain complete control over everything so people can live in the most ideal life. This book shows what happen if people's wish for negativity goes away and stay away.

i totally agree with what you said about bernard in the first paragraph. he wants more whereas everyone else only want simple pleasures. we cant have a perfect world because of the different perspectives that everyone has and the way were are conditioned ever since we were young.
negativity goes away but it doesn't stay away. you have the alphas who are genetically made smartere and they are made to think. the more they think , the more truth they see.
