Today’s Emerson Reading

Words I didn’t know: transcendent- beyond of something or being above average
benefactors- someone who gives more to someone or a cause
prattle- a childish/foolish talk
disdain- someone or something being unworthy of another persons respect
neutrality- someone opposing to peoples disagreements or agreements

What I read and understood was that you need to be yourself no matter what, especially when you are in the highest point in life, that is when you need to stick with yourself. You should always accept where your at in life and take advantage of it to make good choices. Children are more open minded about what they want to do or say. They do this since they haven’t been judged by society on what they should say or be like. But, as time goes on that starts to change.

People can not be taken seriously about their feeling because others won’t understand them, or it’s something they have never felt before so others don’t know how to react.

BRAVE NEW WORLD NOTES

The story starts of by the author wanting us to imagine an image  To get us thinking  One rest of the building are bigger  Tone in the beginning s harsh  People are together but they are so  concentrated in themselves  Thinkers aren’t the important things, little things are what makes ideas more important  A.F? “Alphas and Betas remained until definitely bottled; while the Gammas, Deltas and Epsilons were brought out again, after only thirty-six hours, to undergo Bokanovsky's Process.“ the characters being created by different types of people The people from society don’t see the humans being created as people Embryos are like photograph films, can only stand red light   The system labeled a T for males, circle for females, those who were destined to become freemartins had a question mark There was as many as thirty percent of the female embroiled to develope normally  The others got a dose of male sex-hormone  Babies as s...
