Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is a classic literary work that vividly paints the picture of a dystopian society.

In Richard Wrights "Hunger," an excerpt from Black Boy, courage is standing up for yourself and overcoming any problems that you face despite

Two worlds with similar governments. Brave New World was full of freedom, 1984’s world was oppressed. One huge cultural difference between the two was the way the children lived, and how they were raised. The one things both worlds had in common was government control.

It was strange and unnatural

Through out the book the meaning of the word equal changes that all animals were truly equal in the beginning to meaning the total opposite of that towards the end of the book.
