Bernard, Helmholtz, and John are all brought before Mustapha Mond, the "Resident World Controller for Western Europe", who tells Bernard and Helmholtz that they are to be exiled to islands for antisocial activity. Bernard pleads for a second chance, but Helmholtz welcomes the opportunity to be a true individual, and chooses the Falkland Islands as his destination, believing that their bad weather will inspire his writing. Mond tells Helmholtz that exile is actually a reward. The islands are full of the most interesting people in the world, individuals who did not fit into the social model of the World State. Mond outlines for John the events that led to the present society and his arguments for a caste system and social control. John rejects Mond's arguments, and Mond sums up John's views by claiming that John demands "the right to be unhappy". John asks if he may go to the islands as well, but Mond refuses, saying he wishes to see what happens to John next. The English writer Rose Macaulay published What Not: A Prophetic Comedy in 1918. What Not depicts a dystopian future where people are ranked by intelligence, the government mandates mind training for all citizens, and procreation is regulated by the state.

I read it at a snail-slow pace (there were few parts that turned stagnant). It was an overall enticing read. Huxley, Aldous (1932). Brave New World. New York: Harper & Brothers. p.254.

George Orwell believed that Brave New World must have been partly derived from the 1921 novel We by Russian author Yevgeny Zamyatin. [55] However, in a 1962 letter to Christopher Collins, Huxley says that he wrote Brave New World long before he had heard of We. [56] According to We translator Natasha Randall, Orwell believed that Huxley was lying. [57] Kurt Vonnegut said that in writing Player Piano (1952), he "cheerfully ripped off the plot of Brave New World, whose plot had been cheerfully ripped off from Yevgeny Zamyatin's We".

If I had my bow right now I would shoot you right through the eye; I don't care if you can be killed or not. I would do it for the satisfaction of pinning your face to the ground with an arrow." pg. 226 We also recommend the sensitively-written picture book version of I Am Malala, Malala’s Magic Pencil for younger readers. The slight issue I have with the novel, hence the reason I only gave it four stars, is the pacing throughout. The beginning was fast-paced and instantly drew me in. The end was the same, so much so that I binged the last 25% of the book in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down. The middle, however, was soooooo slow and long. It wasn’t necessarily boring, but I could definitely see readers who aren’t fans of slow-paced books putting it down before they reach the end. Being a previous reader of Stiefvater’s, I knew that she was putting in work to make sure the ending was fantastic, but others might not know that going in and be disappointed with the change of pace.

Bernardine Evaristo won the Booker Prize for her novel Girl, Woman, Other in 2019. She was 60-years-old and had devoted her life to her writing – always believing that her dream would eventually come true. It took great perseverance to reach this point. It made me want to read through the sermon over and over, just to soak in those radically life changing and life giving words. ♥️ so at least i can soothe myself with the knowledge that i will almost certainly forget this in its entirety. Beyond Possible tells his story, from growing up in near-poverty in Nepal to conquering the world’s toughest peaks in record time against the odds.

Letters of Aldous Huxley. New York and Evanston: Harper & Row. p.348. I am writing a novel about the future – on the horror of the Wellsian Utopia and a revolt against it. Very difficult. I have hardly enough imagination to deal with such a subject. But it is none the less interesting work. This is a story about two gods and a girl.” Bravely takes place a few years after the canon Pixar ending of Brave, in which Merida is returning to DunBroch for Christmas after a year of traveling. There, she learns of a terrible plot against her family from the God, Feradach, who is tasked with “rooting out rot and stagnation”. Another God – the Cailleach – strikes a bargain between Merida and Feradach, wherein Merida must enact change throughout her family and DunBroch within four seasons. Merida faces a tough year ahead, but will she be able to accomplish her goal without losing sight of the most important change – aka, herself? Malcolm Gladwell admits that he wasn’t particularly gifted at school and rejected by many employers until he got a job in journalism and worked his way up the ranks.

The novel opens in the World State city of London in AF (After Ford) 632 (AD 2540 in the Gregorian calendar), where citizens are engineered through artificial wombs and childhood indoctrination programmes into predetermined classes (or castes) based on intelligence and labour. Lenina Crowne, a hatchery worker, is popular and sexually desirable, but Bernard Marx, a psychologist, is not. He is shorter in stature than the average member of his high caste, which gives him an inferiority complex. His work with sleep-learning allows him to understand, and disapprove of, his society's methods of keeping its citizens peaceful, which includes their constant consumption of a soothing, happiness-producing drug called "soma". Courting disaster, Bernard is vocal and arrogant about his criticisms, and his boss contemplates exiling him to Iceland because of his nonconformity. His only friend is Helmholtz Watson, a gifted writer who finds it difficult to use his talents creatively in their pain-free society. In December of 2022, Kirk Cameron requested to read his first BRAVE Books title, As You Grow, at public libraries all over the country. Over 50 of those libraries, one which also hosted Drag Story Hours, told him he could not read his book or ignored his requests. Kirk wrote letters to some of the libraries expressing his concern for their violation of the First Amendment. The libraries conceded, and he was allowed to read his book. This bred the story hour tour, which has become a movement across the nation. Kirk has gone to over 14 different libraries to host these story hour events. This book was a delight to read. It was sweet, heartwarming and a little sad. My favorite character was Merida's brother Hamish. He was so afraid and unsure, he tugged on my protective sisterly heartstrings. Merida goes on an all-new, life-changing adventure in this original YA novel set several years after the close of Brave! Helmholtz Watson, a handsome and successful Alpha-Plus lecturer at the College of Emotional Engineering and a friend of Bernard. He feels unfulfilled writing endless propaganda doggerel, and the stifling conformism and philistinism of the World State make him restive. Helmholtz is ultimately exiled to the Falkland Islands—a cold asylum for disaffected Alpha-Plus non-conformists—after reading a heretical poem to his students on the virtues of solitude and helping John destroy some Deltas' rations of soma following Linda's death. Unlike Bernard, he takes his exile in his stride and comes to view it as an opportunity for inspiration in his writing. His first name derives from the German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz.Over the course of the year Merida helps her family and friends find new ways of life and opens her eyes to the possibilities all around her… and maybe even love.
