Q. Are there any settings in this novel which you have found to be beautiful? or disturbing? or memorable? Describe those settings and comment on why they were meaningful to you.
A. There are two settings that were disturbing and memorable to me. These were London in the New Society and the Reservation in New Mexico. These settings were the main places the stories took place in. All of these settings were in the future, A.F. (After Ford) 632, or A.D. 2540 in our calendar’s today (from Peter Kim).
London: The futuristic London was disturbing to me because it was so different from the London now. The new London was as if the whole entire city is separated into caste groups and the city was just filled with places that were supposed to make you “happy.” Also, the city was a hub of the story because many of the events took place in London. The new London was just filled with technology and it was without distinctness compared to other cities. Another fact that distressed me was that the people were living off somas to feel “happiness.” The last thing that disturbed me was that except for the Alphas everyone else was identical twins.
New Mexico Reservation: I think that this setting was the most memorable to me because the setting was full of nature and it had people with morals, beliefs, and art. This made a big difference in the reservation compared to the New World and even John felt the difference and felt disturbed in the New World. The place was especially memorable because it was the only place in the story without skyscrapers or tall buildings. The reservation had literature, ideas, and tradition which were never found in London.
