Well, I really do not know how this will turn out and if it will even work out, but I will go ahead and use the idea of how BNW reveals the reality that people have become slaves of technology or of knowledge. Does that make sense? I want to go more to the theme of how BNW reveals how we have become slaves to knowledge; like how society today has too much knowledge, causing the need to hide away that knowledge, and in turn compromising people’s emotions and their reactions to those feelings (i.e. poetry, songs, religion, etc.). Of course, I will have to think this out more thoroughly, but this is only what I can think of now.
From BNW, I plan to use how the people think they have freedom when actually their realities have been pushed inside their brains, using examples of how babies are raised and how their emotions and actions are always checked. Then, from the video of Robinson, I want to use how kids are taught in schools and maybe use the definitions that I used from the video in my last blog to compare people to. I also want to use the chapter of that gaming lesson to show how repetition works and link it to how babies’ realities are made in the same repetitive way. And with this, I want to follow in with how because they are slaves, they have no true emotions. I already have examples that I want to use, lines that go with Lenina and Linda on both accounts, and maybe some other lines when I am able to find them; however, for now, this is what I have stored in my mind.
I also want to give examples of what is fake, using John and his relation with living. This will all go with the “no emotions” topic. So yeah, this is what I can think of now. I need to find flaws in this theme and its examples though.
