Brave New World Essay.

I'm done reading Brave New World. I see some dark things that applies to this world. A person who is looking for acceptance. Looking for acceptance can be dangerous in many ways. A character that stood out to me would be Benard. In chapter 4 Benard was embarrassed that Lenina was talking about there social affair in public. Saying that she wants to go with him to the Savage resveration. A girl says something like "Ew but he is weird". Benard is socially awkward. He ran away to avoid talking to Benito. Benard is shorter than other people making him slightly different even though they are all almost the same. Benard likes lenina, but he hated that she acts like evenone else, also to make it clear he is not popular. He is seen as a loser. Later on Benard picks up his friend hembolt. Benard feels like writing about something but is not quite to sure how to express himself. Him and hebolt feel like they are different and that's what makes them friends. Benard goes to talk to his boss for permission to let him go the the Savage resveration in New Mexico. His boss tells him a story when he once went to the resveration and he was with a lady but woke up and was alone and that he had a teribble experience. Then his boss mentions that he does not like his behavior and threatns to relocate him. Once at the resveration with lenina. Once Benard is seeing the outside world "Savage resveration". He questions if he would be more complete of he were to show or get more human emotions. Later on they meet John and his mother Linda. Benard puts the puzzle together of Lindas story and John's and his boss. Benard invites them to the "Brave New world". Using them as leverage against the director (his boss). Once Benard comes back. He is now looking to be accepted. His boss wants him to meet with him. There are people around. The director says he is going to relocate him. Then Benard brings out Linda and John. John calls the director father multiple times and Linds saying he left her pregnant. Everyone laughs the directors goes running away. The effect of this makes Benard popular and John to. But Benard becoming popular getting the acceptance he always wanted is going to make him less him and more like everyone else. Once John's mother does (Linda) he turns furious and then a fight happens jhon And hembolt against everyone. While Benard does not know what to do. He just stays out of it. We know that Benard was not good a socializing with people. He also liked Lenina and got jealous and anger towards his competition. Even though that's not permitted in the new world. Once he turns popular and till John no longer wants to be the center of attraction which was getting Benard fame. Benard says in the book that he still feels like he's lost and does not fit it. Even though he is popular he still feels like an outsider. This shows that he got lost from looking for his identity for acceptance. Benard just turns into nothing. He did not get lenina and getting sent to a place where people are put for no part of society.
