The book of Brave New World stands out for its great way of showing us the readers how people from back then predicted our future. Once we start reading the book we can clearly see how so many things that were written back then by the author are actually happening now these days. For example, the book said that eventually technology is going to end up taking control of us. Which is clearly already happening all over the world, since our kids are now starting to use technology at a young age. What I understood of this book was how people were being created in labs, and being put in a certain category. Everything became so different because everyone was the same and if you managed to stand out and be different there would be consequences to it.
One of the characters that stood out the most for me was John a white guy who was born from a woman and not made in a lab like everyone else from the book. I felt like he was the most outward and inward person from the whole book. He like so many of us had dreams and hopes. As we all know he was raised in a reservation, because his mom Linda decided to have him, and parenthood wasn't a good thing in the world state, so she couldn't decide otherwise. John grew up lonely,and being hated by the people in the reservation, do to his mom sleeping with married men from it. One of Johns major dreams was going to London which one day it became true. When he met this guy Bernard and Linda, whom he thought were his friends. Sadly Bernard wasn't his friend he was just there to "help" him with his big dream about going to London. Bernard's true intentions were to take John to London and embarrass the director, who gave all this talks about how horrible was parenthood and how it shouldn't happen.
John really stood for me, because we can relate to so many things that he goes true. He is unique and doesn't tries to be like everyone else. In the book everyone else is always looking to attention, or taking somma, and having sex. The relationships from the book have no commitment, since both partners can sleep with whomever they want. While John dreams of having a real relationship, and doesn't takes drugs to have sex. Deeply John just wants to be alone and be happy, he doesn't likes all the attention he is getting. When Johns mom Linda, was at the hospital dying he was actually sad feeling pain, and got really sad when his mom ended up calling him his stepdads name before she died. We were able to feel his pain since, his mom never really cared about him and all he wanted was to feel loved from his mom.
Overall, John was the most inward and outward person, because he was different from everyone. He had feelings, and cared for so many things that the people from the world state didn't. We can say he was the most truthful character from the whole book,since he was more like us. sadly his life was cut short after he killed himself. He committed suicide after having remorse of something he did the night before his dead. Which was different for everyone since no one seemed to regret anything that would happen in their lives. Clearly, John stood out in the whole book because he was just different. He wasn't just born from a woman,but he had feelings as well.
