In my essay response to Brave New World I’m going to use to things in relation to it. The First is the movie “Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind.” Directed by Michel Gondry. I choose this because it is about a man who finds out that his Ex girlfriend had him erased from his mind and where he decides to have the same thing done. And for most of the rest of the movie it is him changing his mind and trying to find his way through the reality of his collapsing memories he wishes to keep. And I also picked this movie because through out the film you are confronted with multiple characters that are dealing with the reality of the own lives and I felt like I could use this well in my essay as something I could bounce of the reality of Brave New World.
In addition the second thing I’m going to relate to Brave New World is the book Night by Elie Wiesel. I choose this book because of the dramatic change the main character goes through Wiesel describes his childhood during the holocaust and how he went from living in a Jewish Transylvania village to being in Auschwitz and being a prisoner of the Nazi “Final Solution” I chose this one because of the dramatic change Wiesel goes through and how that effects reality as he knows it.
I also thought about using the book “The Perks Of Being A Wallflower” by Stephen Chobsky (my favorite book) because the narrator is this boy named Charlie and it shows how his perception of reality changes as he goes through his life in his first year of high school. I could write about that book forever so ill leave it at that. But no matter what I chose im going to relate it back to Brave New World and contrast the different forms of reality that are presented through out all books/movies I choose.
