Big Question Part 2

Another reason as to why we should persue/further our education would be to acknowledge the benifits it brings. If you want to be a doctor, for example, chances are your paycheck will be fatter than me. But lets say you want to do something that you would love to do, like me and music, I would love to be a musician of some sort, nothing specific, maybe even a DJ or a singer, I would further my eduaction to do what i love, not that the money is important, just a mere bonus to stay financially stable, per say. To others, it brings happiness to those around them, and thats what they want, and of course, the money is most likely why people work in the first place, not saying its true for everyone, just a lot of them.

Endgame

Can't believe that we are almost outta here. There's so much in highschool that I never got to do or get to do. That's what i want to talk about.

My mom has struggled far too long to see me end up where she avoided the most.

He gives a lot of expertise and helps to inform that you can rely n yourself to change yourself, improve, and succeed. I think he explained that the best way possible.  In the essay, his tone varies, it goes back and forth. He ranges from a regular guy to a seemingly awakened monk who has learned the meaning of life, or a wise old man, full of years of wisdom and experience.  His diction consisted of maybe a genius level of literature, that just flows right out of this man and straight into his writing, although its is hard to understand the first time around, it is much clearer once the literature is explained and "cleaned up".  His syntax was very well thought out, ...

Chapter 16 notes

Mustapha Mond brings the trio to his "office" and revises their previous actions and judges them for it, he then goes on about the importance of happiness and tranquility and how the natural order must be retained (thats what I got fron his speech), he also banishes Hemholtz and Bernard. Bernard freaks out and is put in a panic after hearing his sentence, but Hemholtz, on the other hand, is accepting of his sentence, and is willing to welcome his new life, free from the social boundraries, with open arms. Before this, Mond went on and mentioned that he knew that retaining this dystopian society, that he would have to potentially destroy its people with either its initial birth process or the soma fed throughout their lives to basically kill them from the inside out. But he says this was all in the name of keeping the happiness in their lives, unaware of the problems with their lives. Ignorance is bliss.
