Brave New World Chapter 3 Study Questions

1. How do the children play together What is childhood like?
Naked children play ball games, or squat silently in twos or threes in the shrubs. Children are conditioned to start having sex at the age of seven, and learn how to act and treat others in their castes.   
2. How is our world depicted How do we get from here to there
Our world is looked down upon because things were simpler and not everything was invented or based on increasing consumption. With each new and complicated game or toy that was invented, the next one had to be more elaborate and in some may more challenging, and eventually people started basing their worlds around waiting for the next best thing. 
3. Why must games be so complex in this society
Games are not created unless they bring something new and interesting to stores. The main idea is to create something that people will want to consume, and people are less inclined to buy something if they already have something like it; there is less desire for it. 4. Why are strong emotions dangerous Family relationships Romance Religion Art? Culture
Emotions could be dangerous to learn too much about because people could relate to them or be intrigued by them and want to bring them into their lifestyles. Also, there is the potential to get hurt with these things, which leads to unhappiness. 
5. How is sexuality used in this novel? Do you see any problems with it
Sexuality is used as a form of amusement, and children have been conditioned to start "erotic play" at the ripe age of seven, so by the time they are into adulthood, sex is such a mundane thing that it is weird to go weeks without it. It is a little weird for me to imagine these acts happening before the age of ten, also sex is portrayed to us as a sacred thing that you do with someone you care about, but we think that because that is what we have been taught.
6. What does Mustapha Mond do What is his relationship to history
Mustapha Mond, also known as "His Fordship", is the controller of the Western European zone of London. He is the one who decides what to tell people about history and how to word things so people will be disgusted at the thought of the way we live. 
7. Is there anything unusual about Lenina Crowne Bernard Marx What Why
Lenina seems to like to go against the expected of most people. She has spent over a month with the same man, when the usual time limit is a week as the most, and shows an interest in Bernard Marx when he is socially unacceptable. Bernard Marx is not your typical Alpha because of his smaller size, and this makes him insecure, when an Alpha should be proud and confident. 
8. How does Huxley use the cinematic technique toward the end of this chapter
He switches between different conversations very quickly and they become as big as one sentence then we switches to a different character speaking. I thought it was powerful, but very confusing and hard to keep up with.
9. What is soma What are its uses
Soma is a pill the people take to keep them from feeling too much. It keeps them in a happy euphoria. 
10. How do people age in this society

People dont age, they take pills to prevent them from looking older, and die at the age of 60 so they never have to be seen as withered and old and "ugly".
