Romantic and Victorian Poetry

STEP 1


1. Two historical events during this time


The first event that i want to talk about is about the French Revolution. The French Revolution took place in the early days of the Romantic period in the year of 1989. The revolution started with the storming of Bastille by a French mob. The mob had the support of the French soldiers and the were fighting to get the ammunition from Bastille. The mob believed that the Royal army was going to take control so they and the French soldiers rebelled. Another event that took place during the Romantic period was the passing of the Act of Union.



The Act of Union created the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The Act was passed in 1801 and it united the Kingdom of Britain with the Kingdom of Ireland. Ireland had been in a union prior to this Act with England. So these two events were the two events i chose to talk about that occur ed during the Romantic Period (1798- 1832).


2. What was life like?I believe life was real hectic for the people living during this time. Imagine people being killed all the time. Think about the way you would feel to see the government going into a spiral loop. I believe that i would be terrified to be in a situation like this. I would not like for my family to see people being beheaded and there head paraded around town. I also feel like some people were very angry at the King and that is the reason they rebelled. People must have gotten tired of decisions the king was making and just couldn't take it anymore.


3. what the poets want to express

The Poets during this era focused more on imagination and naturalness. The poets of this time shifted away from the eighteenth-century emphasis on reason and artifice. Poets would right about the past or an inner dream world. Another way these poets wrote was that the poet would always be a man speaking to men. These poets rejected the public, formal, and the works of the earlier century. The poets of this time focused more on the personal experiences and emotions.



STEP 2

William Blake: A Poison Tree


When i searched for poems written by William Blake i came upon a poem called A Poison Tree. The poem was about being mad at people and how you should just tell them and resolve the problem and move on with your life. In this poem he gives two examples about how life can turn out to be depending on how you handle your problems.



In the first half Blake speaks about him having a grudge on a friend. He then speaks about how he tells his friend and then the problem was resolved. By doing this life was much easier when he was around this particular friend.


In the second half of the poem Blake talks about having a problem with a foe. He decides not to resolve the problem and every time he gets around this person he hides his anger behind fake smiles. Blake then uses a metaphor about his problem growing day and night into an apple. This is a good example about how the poets of the Romantic period focused a lot on an inner dream world. The reason i say this is because your anger cant really grow an apple. When the apple grows it gets real beautiful and the foe sees it. The foe seeing the apple decides to lay beneath the tree that has the apple in it. All of this is made up and cant really happen from being mad at someone but it is the way the poets wrote during this time. In the end the foe ended up enjoying the apple tree, while the guy with the grudge sat there miserably. This poem is real good at showing the different writing techniques that were born during the Romantic era.

William Wordsworth http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15925

The poem The Daffodils by William Wordsworth was a writing about nature and the inner dream world. He express how he is alone and feeling lonely and how all of a sudden he spots happiness that he describes as a bunch of dandelions dancing around." A host, of golden daffodils;Beside the lake, beneath the trees,Fluttering and dancing in the breeze."

What I interpret his feelings as is he is lost in the world, feeling like theres no one and nothing to turn to, but he realizes he doesn't need people to be happy, the nature is dancing and he realizes that nature is happiness. "A Poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company:"

Percy Bysshe Shelley : Loves Philosophy

For Percy Bysshe Shelley I read her poem called "Loves Philosophy". This poem has a real romantic sense to it. The poem speaks about how everything in the world is not single. It shows this by given examples of things that mingle with each other. One example is how fountains mingle with a river and the river with the ocean. So this is a good example because during the Romantic period the literature had alot to do with fantasy worlds. The author is clearly imagining this world where the rivers are pretty and how it flows into the ocean.

Another thing I picked up was about how the author seemed to be talking to another person. The main focused of this book was to tell ask a man why he would not be with her. After giving more examples of natural things in the earth being with each other; she ask a male why he wont be with her. This is another characteristic of literature during the Romantic Era. Poets during this era wrote alot about there emotions and this is clearly an example of someone expressing there emotions.

Step 3
1. Victorian Period events.

The Victorian Period was from 1837-1901. This period was named after Queen Victorian. During this time many things happened and i want to talk about two of them. The first thing i want to talk about is the Indian Mutiny. The Indian Mutiny took place during the long days of 1857. This rbellion is also known as Indias first war of Independence. The whole purpose of this rebellion was to overthrow the British East India Company, which occupied India. The Indian Sepoys along with many natives fought many of the British and took back much of the land out from under the control of the British. In the end the Sepoys rebellion was detroyed and mostly everything was controlled by the British Crown.

Another event i would like to talk about is Bloody Sunday. Bloody Sunday is when thousands of people where in Trafalger Square. Most of these people werer unemployed or socialist. The people where protesting British control over Ireland. The army was sent in to manage the crowd and 2000 police men were also sent in. In the end many were injured and two people were killed.

2.Life During this era

I believe that during this time peoples standard of living was starting to rise. Many of the things that ordanary people couldnt buy before was now available to them. Also alot of people started to get a job due to the fact that there was an industrial revalution. So in all life was starting to get better for the people living during this time.

3.Differences Victorian Period / Romantic Era

Some of the differences between this two eras is probably the way of living. During the Romantic era life was much more hectic and not that enjoyable. The government was going into a spiral loop and things werent looking all that great for people living during this era. During the Victorian period people were better off. The industrial revolution was bringing alot of new jobs to many people and this was real good. Many people could afford many of the things now because fo mass production.

4. Victorian Poets

Many of the Victorian poets would always try to make the readers believe in a sense of reality. Another thing i read was how the poets would try to scare the readers into effective moral and political actions. This poets wrote all hard surface and no soul. They worte about lovers being betrayed by unfaithfullness , war,and other troubles. They would also write about how hereos would try to settle down and get married. The poets of this time entertained, infromed, warned and reassured the readers.

Step 4

Thomas Hardy: Beeny Cliff

In this poem by Thomas Hardy the characteristics of the Victorian period are present. The main point is about a guy falling in love with a girl. In the poem the guy talks about how beautifull this girl is and how he loves her so much. "The woman now is--elsewhere", this is a direct quote from the book and it clearly shows that this women has left this guy. So as you can see this is direct evidence of how the victorian poets wrote. The whole plot of this poem is about how the guy cant be with his love adn this is a characteristic of victorian poetry.

Robert Browning: The Lost Mistress

The lost mistress is another poem which talks about love. In this poem a gentlemen is speaking to women about his love for her. He explains how holding her hand for a little is satisfying even though he would like to hold it forever. Well this is an example of victorian peotry because again it speaks about love and not being able to be with each other. I'm not sure but i think the reason why they cant be together is because she already has a husband. If my interpretation is true then that brings out another characteristic of Victorian poetry. The characteristic it brings out is how the lovers would be thorn apart by unfaithfulness in some way. Well thats pretty much it for this poem.

Matthew Arnold: Philomela

In this poem he talks about how he loves this girl so much but he knows they can never be together. "Still, after many years, in distant lands,Still nourishing in thy bewilder'd brain" I feel like he is trying to say that they have been apart for so long but yet still he has a image of her in his head, and his head won't stop wondering what could become if they were together. "The unfriendly palace in the Thracian wild?" He explains the setting in this line where as he and she live in two different villages and are maybe rivals. He will always love her but since he can't have her there will always be love and pain, "Eternal passion!Eternal pain!"

Alfred Lord Tennyson Love and Death

In this poem I feel that he is trying to scare people. He is talking about death and how it is represented by shadows. "Thou art the shadow of life, and as the treeStands in the sun and shadows all beneath,So in the light of great eternityLife eminent creates the shade of death." He talks to a shadow walking and the shadow is supposidly dead," And all about him roll’d his lustrous eyes;When, turning round a cassia, full in view,Death, walking all alone beneath a yew."

Glorious Revolution

1. Summary on Glorious Revolution
The Glorious Revolution was the overthrow of King James II of England. The Glorious revolution is also known as the Revolution of 1688. The group responsible for the overthrow of King James II was a Union of Parliamentarians and William III of Orange-Nassau also known as William of Orange. After overthrowing King James II, William of Orange became king of England and became known as William III of England. This revolution is also known as the Bloodless Revolution but that is not necessarily true. There was a good amount of bloodshed in this revolution. So basically the purpose of this was to get rid of James and to restore the protestant influence in Europe.

The reason why I think this was an important Revolution is the following. I think it is important to be able to have all kinds of people in power and that there religion should not determine whether they are eligible or not. If the king was making the whole nation catholic and I was a protestant I would not like this. King James II also presented himself as a butt hole and a person who treated his people bad. King James did not allow any protestant to be in power and killed all those who had been in power. It was important to those who were protestant to get rid of King James and he deserved it. That’s all I have to say about the subject.

2. Define Satire
Satire is something meant to make fun of human nature or a person. On “Comedy Central” there are a lot of examples of satire. There is a television show on this channel called “Little Bush”. If you haven’t guessed what the shows about yet let me tell you. This show makes fun of the current president George W. Bush. In the show he is a little cartoon character and is real short and talks about the stupidest things you can image. The show uses real events that happen in real life to President Bush. The only difference is that on the show they slightly exaggerate President Bush’s reaction to these events. “Lil Bush”

3. Response to “A modest Proposal”
When i finished reading "A Modest Proposal" i didn't really understand the point of it until i thought about the story for a couple of minutes. What i think Jonathan Swift was trying to do is making fun of how the Irish wont help out there own people. In this story he makes fun of how the kingdom is setup and how the wealthy people have so much money, but don't bother helping people out. He mocks the way the wealthy act towards the beggars but in turn don't want to help them out.

4. Response to The Diary of Samuel Pepys
In this diary Samuel Pepys writes about two things. First he talks about the coronation of Charles II. Another thing he talks about is the fire that wiped out most of London. This journal entry was kind of hard because the way people wrote during this time.

When Samuel talked about the King he kept talking about how he was around for everything and how it was so nice to have been there for such occasion. Here is a phrase which i read in the book " i went from table to table to see the Bishops and all others at their dinner, and was infinite pleased with it". So you can see that for people in this time being around for the coronation of the King was a big thing and to eat around the King was also a big deal.

The fire that destroyed London was also mentioned in the diary entry. Samuel Pepys described how the fire was growing by the minute and how the people didn't even try to put the fire out. He mentioned how he was worried and couldn't sleep the night the fire started to spread towards his house. In this phrase he talks about how the people were not trying to put out the fire, "and nobody to my sight endeavoring to quench it, but to remove their goods and leave all to the fire". The journal entry described how the people were all running with their belongings. The reason i believe people took there belongings was because that's probably all they owned besides there home. Well this journal entry was rare but interesting.

5.whats important to people during restoration
Many of the things i believe were important to these people was things like their belongings and their money. Another things was also being around for big events like the crowning of the king. The reason i say this is because its what i read in the diary of Samuel Pepys. In the diary it says " Everybody endeavoring to remove their goods". That phrase right there is a good example of goods being important to the people of this time. Another thing was being able to attend important events. In a diary entry Pepys talks about how there was going to be a feast at the kings place and how alot of people where going to be there for it. So this clearly shows that events like these were always filled with people fo this time.

Novel Project

Critical essay “Brave New World”

To find the historical significance of Brave New World you must do some intensive research and as I did read some other essays relating to this topic. In this essay I will talk about how this novel is a fine work of literature. I will also try to explain why this book should be read and discussed in a literature class. Another thing I would like to discuss and explain is the main idea Huxley is trying to get across by writing this novel.
“In the first chapter, the D.H.C. proudly explains the biochemical technology that makes possible the production of virtually identical human beings and, in doing so, introduces Huxley’s theme of individuality under assault”(Cliff Notes). This author clearly states the main topic of the novel. The main idea of the novel was to open the readers mind to the fact that the governments in this world are taking away the right to think and function as an individual. Many things going on around Huxley’s time lead him to believe this. Huxley was clearly taking the current events during his time and tying them into his book to explain in a fictional world what is happening in the real world.
Huxley argues, control through reward poses a greater threat to human freedom because, unlike punishment it can be introduced unconsciously and continued indefinitely, with the approval and support of the people being controlled (Cliff notes). What the author is saying is pretty simple, society will become numb to the fact that the government is controlling them because, the government in turn is giving the people something that takes their worries away and at the same time puts them in a state of mind were they can be controlled. This is what Huxley wants us to realize and prevent from happening. Huxley believes in a free minded and individualistic society.
“The literal consumption of soma-like drugs also captures Huxley’s attention. By the 1950s, readily available tranquilizers adjusted people to a maladjusted culture, smoothing out any inconvenient instincts of resistance, just as a soma- holiday eliminated the recognition of unhappiness”(cliff notes). So as you can see the government during Huxley’s time was already inventing soma like drugs to numb people to the reality of life. This is another example used by Huxley to prove his point that the government is slowly taking control over the minds of individuals. This is a prime example of the government controlling people by rewarding them. “Soma distribution!” shouted a loud voice. “In good order please. Hurry up there”, this is an example from BNW where all the kids are lined up to receive soma. All the kids get excited to receive there soma pills and at the same time are blinded to the fact that the pills are being used to brain wash them. This and many other ways is how Huxley tries to make us realize that the government will reward us and keep us satisfied but at the same tie start to manipulate the way we act.
The use of the assembly line by the Ford motor company was also tied in to the story. In the book the people kept saying “Oh Ford” and they would refer to Ford as God. The reason for this was because Ford had invented the assembly line which was used for the mass production of humans (In BNW). Huxley probably saw the affect the assembly line had on the production of cars and how society looked up to Henry Ford as a great person for his great invention. Here is another example of the assembly line being used in the book “Slowly, majestically, with a faint humming of machinery, the Conveyors moved forward, thirty-three centimeters an hour”. So as you can see Ford was deified for creating the main fundamentals used to keep society at a balance in BNW.

This book should definitely be used in a literature class. The book is not a boring book at all and it has a lot to do with what is going on around us. Huxley probably did not intend BNW to a prophetic piece of literature but it has definitely become one. Huxley wants us as society to open our eyes and see that the government is trying to take away our individualism. “In general, Huxley warns his readers that they may be talking themselves into accepting a world that they would reject, if only they were fully conscious of its nature. But, distracted by consumerism and pleasure, people seldom truly engage the reality they are living, just as the citizens of the brave new world seldom recognize the restraints of their society. Unconscious manipulation through language—propaganda—keeps individual minds open to any suggestions, even the most inhuman’ (cliff notes). This is why the book should be read in literature class not just because it is a good prophecy but because it opens up the minds of its readers and that is what literature class should be all about. Literature should be about making your mind more aware of your surroundings and introducing you to new ideas.
Reading this book really opened up my mind to a lot of things which I did not realize before. The whole concept of the government taking away our individuality was new to me. I am now more open minded about the way life should be and how our individuality is so important. This is a fantastic book and I highly recommend it to all book readers out there.

Chilling with my Mentor

April, 11, 08
4:30pm 7:00pm

On Friday i met with my mentor Ron. When i arrived Ron was on his way out to the store to buy some ink for the printers. I talked to him real quick and he told another employee at the shop and he agreed to let me watch him tattoo some people. As Ron left the other guy started to tattoo some girl on her leg. This girl got a tiny star on her ankle. I didnt get to watch him tattoo her because by the time i came back in to the shop the guy was done tattooing. This professional tattoo artist are real quick in what they do and real good at it. Well as i sat there waited another lady came in and showed Rons friend a picture of a tattoo she wanted to get. The picture was a painters pad with colors on it and paint brushes behind the pad. Rons friend then quickly rezized the picture so it could be smaller and fit on her wrist. After he resized he made sure it would fit and then he started to stencil it. This guy really didnt talk to me much about what he was doing or anything but i still watched him. As the lady waited for him to stencil it i asked her if i could take some pictures while she got her tattoo and she agreed to let me. Then Rons friend came back and told us he was ready. He applied the stencil and started to tatoo. Ron told me that when ever he would tattoo someone he would talk me through what he was doing and all but this guy did not talk to me at all. As soon as he started to tattoo, not even ten minutes in Ron showed up and i started to talk to him.

I talked to Ron about how i had bought some fake tattoo skin and a tattoo machine. He said that was great and asked if he had any of it with me. Ron showed me his machine and showed me how a machine should sound like when it is running correctly. Ron then started to prep some piercing for some girls who were about to get an ear piercing. While he did this i walked outside and got the fake skin and my tattoo machine. When i came back in Anna (my girlfriend) was talking to Ron about a tattoo she got. Ron then gave her some tips that she could use to keep her tattoo looking good. Ron looked at my tattoo gun and started to show me how to tune it. I had started to do some tattooing on the fake skin but my tattoo machine stopped working and i could get it to work for a while but then it would stop working after a while. Well Ron helped me out with this problem by teaching me how to tune it. Now it works real good and I can start working on my product. After he tuned my machine he talked to me a little more about what other things i could use to tattoo on. He told me i could use pig ears and bananas and grapefruits to do this. Ron said that the pig ears are most similar to real human skin. When using pig ears you really cant keep them for a long time because the start to rot and get real smelly. I was thinking on going back this week but Ron is going out of town and not coming back until Thursday. Hopefully i can meet with him then and get some more mentor hours. Well thats pretty much it for this visit.

Bibliography on Huxley

Aldous Huxley was born the 26 of July 1894 in Godalming, England. Huxley was born into a prominent family. As a child he learned at his father well equipped botanical lab. Then later on he went to a school called Hillside. While at Hillside he was under constant supervision by his mom since she was his teacher. Then he went on to Eton college where he studied until he became ill. The illness left him practically blind for about two- three years. Once he got better he went and studied English literature at Bailliol college. He then later worked at the technologically-advanced Brunner and Mond chemical plant in Bellingham Teaside. After working here Huxley wrote Brave New World.



Huxley then later worked as a farm labourer where he met alot of interesting figures. In 1919 he married and later moved out to California in 1937. While in California he did a couple of movie scripts due to the fact that he was real good at writing papers. Huxley once wrote the synopsis of Alice and wonderland for Walt Disney. Walt Disney rejected the script due to the fact that he could only understand every third word.



The same illness that affected Huxley as a teenager never left him with good eyesight for the rest of his life. In 1939 Huxley started to use the Bates Method in hopes that he would recover his eyesight. While using this method he was inpired to write a book called The Art Of Seeing. Huxley truely believed that the Bates Method worked but while giving a speech once he started pulling in the paper closer and closer to his eyes. It was then obviouse that Huxley had not gained any eyesight but that he was just remembering his speeches.



Huxley was also known for taking psychedelic drugs. The one he is most known for taking is LSD. It is believed that in 1930 he took peyote with the Mystic Aleister Crowley. He was later introduced to mescaline by his psychiatrist in 1953. Huxley wrote a number of essays which depicted his experiences while on his psychedelic drugs. Many of this essays were constantly read by early hippies. Huxley used LSD so much that even on his death bed he took 100 micrograms as he lay dying.



In wikipedia i read about how working at the chemical plant was a source in the book. I believe that the experience from working at the chemical plant really had a great influence on the book. If you think about it, in the book Huxley talked alot about how humans were conditioned to be specific members of the caste sytem. While at the chemical lab Huxley must have seen alot of things being engineered to do specific things. Being around all of this experimenting and engineering of chemicals must have given him alot of ideas about how the future world could turn out to be. Huxley also talks alot about soma which is like a pill people take to relax them and take the stesses of life from them. Huxley probably used his experiences of drug use in this book. In 1930 when Huxley took peyote he must have had a good experience from it. I researched the effects that peyote gives you on yahoo and here is what a group of people who have taken the drug say, "Peyote gives you a divine feeling and it makes you feel enlighted and happy". So Huxley's experience using this drug could have lead him to putting it in the book with a different name. One of the descriptions of soma use in the book says that it would relax you if mad or angry. Many of the times that soma was used it was used to calm one of the characters in the book down.

The invention of the assembly by the Ford company could have also been a source used by Huxley when writing this book. In the beginning of the book Huxley writes about how the human is recreated. The infants are in a bottle which is on a line that is constantly moving. In the book Huxley would always talk about how the assembly line of infants was used for mass production. When i read about the Ford assembly line they also said it was great and it enabled the mass production of cars. Huxley also put some humor in the book and it had to do with Ford. In the book people would say things like " Oh Ford" instead of "Oh God". I thought this was real funny.

Aldous Huxley life was very interesting and bizzarre. One thing i can tell you is that this guy can write some good literature. Many people can have there opinion of why he wrote Brave New World but will anyone of us really ever know the true meaning of the book? All i know is that this guy had an imagination way ahead of his time.

Meeting with Mentor

February 15, 2008
5:30pm - 8:00pm
I met with Ron Hendon around 5:30. Ron is the owner of a tattoo shop here in Athens called Midnight Iguana. When i arrived i had to wait for about fifteen minutes while he finfished doing some work. While i waited i looked at some tattoo flash which was on a table in the middle of the waiting room. Then he came out and we talked about the purpose of the senior project. Ron agreed to help me make a product for my project. The product is going to be a tattoo on fake skin. After talking about the product we talked about some of the techniques used to tattoo. We didnt go into depth about the techniques but we will once i start to work on my product. Ron also explained to me the process of scar correction which is a service they provide at the shop. As we were talking about this a couple of people came in and they talked about getting a tattoo. Ron helped them out and we got back to talking about the procedure of scar removal. Ron introduced me to the other artist that work there and let them know i would start coming to the shop. Ron told me i should start coming by and hanging out with them so that i could learn the process of preparing the drawing to tattoo and so i could see the actual tattoo process. Well I havent been back in a while but i plan on calling him today and seeing if i can stop by for a while.

Brave New World response #3

From chapter 13 to the end of the book alot happened. John had been talking to Bernard and Helmholtz (bernards friend a literature teacher) about Romeo and Juliet and Bernard didnt like this. Jonh and Helmholtz would talk for hours and Bernard would never have anything good to say and would always interupt there conversation. The meetings where ery freqeunt and the three would just talk about stuff that they were not alowed to talk about in public. One day John was waiting for Bernard and Helmholtz to come over to his apartment when he heard a knock on the door. He was expecting to see Helmholtz but it was Lenina.

Lenina had been talking to a friend and had built up the courage to go over to John's and make him have sex with her. When John opened the door he was suprised to see Lenina. She walked in and started to get close to him for a kiss. John told her that he had something to say and started explaining what he felt for her in metaphores. Lenina was lost she never caught on that he was telling her that he loved her so he just said it. Then he told her that he wanted to marry her cause he loved her so much and he also told her that he wanted to wait untill they where married to have sex. Lenina didnt hear this though because she went crazy went he said he loved her and started to take her clothes off. She kept saying " well john why didnt you tell me you wanted me you should have just told me from the begining". Next thing you know Lenina had John againts the wall and she was naked trying to get him to have sex with her. John soon realized that she had misunderstood him and he got real angry. He threw Lenina away from him and started to call her a whore. Lenina ran into the bathroom and locked herself in. Lenina thought that John was telling her that he wanted to have sex with her when he told her he loved her but she was all wrong, John realy did love her but was so anrgry that she didnt understand what love was.

While John was all mad in his apartment he recieved a phone call. The person on the other line told him that Linda(his mom) was dying. While John rushes to the hospital, Lenina uses the oportunity to run out of the apartment. There were little kids being lectured on death while Linda was dying and they were laughing at her and calling her names. John got real upset and threw the kids away from where Linda was. Once Linda died John left the hospital. While he was leaving he noticed that a guy in a suit was giving people soma pills. This really upset him and he started yelling and telling the kids that they didnt need soma pills that they could be free without them. The guy giving the pills out went to a phone and called Bernard and Helmholtz. When they arrived John was puching the kids away from him because they were mad at him for throwing out the pills. Helmholtz ran towards the crowd and started puching the kids too. Next thing you know guys in suits and face mask ran in and sprayed soma gas. John, Berard and Helmholtz were sent to Mustapha Mond(controler).

Mustapha sent Bernard and Helmholtz to an island. John was not sent because Mustapha wanted to keep experimenting with him. John knew this was the reason he was not sent away so he escaped and went to live in an abandoned light house. While living there he was seen beating himself with a wip by some people riding by in a helicopter. Then a whole bunch of reporters were sent there to talk to John. He kicked every reporter out of his house and literaly kicked them in the butt. The news papers in London all talked about how the Savage(John) had kicked the reporters. The reason John would whip himself was because he would start thinking about Lenina and her naked body. One day he was filmed by a reporter while he whiped himself and cussed and called out names. John never knew he was being filmed so he kept whiping himself until he was tired of doing it. The reporter made a movie from what he filmed and it played all throught London. The next week after the premier there where alot of people around the light house shanting a John and wanting him to whip himself. They threw stuff at him and urged him to whip himself but he just grabbed the whip and treatend the crowd with it. Then a helicopter landed and out came a young girl and she started to flirt with him. He then realized what she was doing and started whiping himself so he would not think of her. Then he ran after her and trie dto whip her too. Every in the crowd started to say orgy-porgy and also started beating each other. The crowd loved to see John beat himself. Then everyone was put to sleep with soma. The next day John realized what he had done and was terrified.

A huge amount of helicopter came to the light house that day. When the people got out they went in and called for John. They called out "Mr. Savage, Mr. Savage", but John was nowhere to be found. This is where the story ended. I liked this book alot. The story was cool and all but i didnt like the ending. I would have liked to see John kill some people and try to overthrow the controler. This book is definnitly a book i would recomend to people.
