Brave New World

i just finished reading the first two chapters. the first one was VEEEEEEEEERRRRRRYYYYYY boring. the second one more than made up for it though. it seems like the first chapter was: ok, we need to get all this stuff out of the way and tell the reader right now. its important to the story, but its kinda boring. i predict that much of it is foreshadowing and such, and if i ever read the book again, this chapter will be filled with many clues that i never got the first time around. the second chapter was much more interesting. the sleep mind control stuff in chapter two was very cool. i still do not understand baby ruben, or why they didnt want the babies to like flowers, or why that kid tommy didn't know what the nile was, but he could recite the same thing over and over again.

well, i predict that A.F. means After Ford. did they specifically say that? well, theyve referenced ford as this great idol, and a very great man. and what really tipped me off was when, at the end of the chapter, the guy says "oh ford! ive woken the babies." at first, i thought that he was notifying someone in the lab named ford that he woke up the babies. but after i thought about it, they have made Henry Ford into a messianic figure, and refer to him in expletive, similar to "oh my god!" or "oh, jesus" or "oh christ!" etc. that's very interesting, and sets the stage for what kind of society huxley is predicting.

so already, im writing a paragraph speculating about one line that will me answered in a chapter again. im going to sleep.
