this sounds really cool... i read brave new world in school and i know people were offended by that book.. but i liked it
How were people offended by Brave New World?
Because of all the promiscuity.
yeah, exactly, but to me it was like, there was a point to writing about that it wasn't just blatant, pointless promiscuity
i don't know, it was a great book
Oh yea, it was a total analogy, but schools are sometimes weird about that. I remember my step mother was all cappusted because there's a hooker in "Catcher in the Rye", even though it's not x-rated. Literature needs to be viewed on a very different plane.
cappusted. hm, i think you just made up a new word!
Hahahaha - the spelling nazi doesn't know how to spell jewish colloquialisms. :)
yeah i love Catcher in the Rye, again some people are offended at that book
i remember i got in trouble for reading Lord of the Flies
like, i got talked to about it
oof
But the whole point was that the society of Brave New World was a _dystopia_. If it were encouraging promiscuity I could see people being offended, but it'e exactly the opposite.
It wasn't encouraging promiscuity, but it was definitely there. For face value, that's probably why a school wouldn't feature it.
i never get where schools draw the line on offensive things. we read black boy in h.s. and that was out of control, but controversy can lead to such great discussions.
