Hung Dinh Period 1 05/27/2017 Mr. Jade English class Project of the final Today, we are going to mention about two books that we learned already were Of Mice and Men book of the author John Steinbeck and Brave New World book of the author Aldous Huxley. Two of the books both have very good meaning as well as condemn about the brutal regime of each book that make us to mention about them today. First thing I want to compare the regime between Of Mice and Men book and Brave New World book. In Of Mice and Men book, they have many classes some of them are master class, farmer class as well as lower class. Lower class, they did not have any authorities or right to decide their life, they had to go to work to get money for the living cost and they were so poor, in social, Of Mice and Men women did not have any rights they had to subordinated to their husband or their family. The Book Of Mice and Men of John Steinbeck were written to send a message for reader that the loneliness was made by gender and classes, in Of Mice and Men, the author John Steinbeck used th e character Crooks to show how loneliness came from social divisions by race and of course they could not reach to the America dream that everybody always wish to have. Moving to Brave New World book of Aldous Huxley, everything was opposite. In Brave New World book, the reader learns that everyone in this civilization is a clone, the product of Bokanovsky's Process, this homogenization process has been perfected for the purpose of creating order in the world. Their world motto is "Community, Identity, Stability.". Let's analysis next point, everything was drawn by Aldous Huxley, he drew a wonderful new world not only without the loneliness but also have a lot of awesome thing that people in the old world never have. In Brave New World, there had five classes to maintain that stability, the World Controllers have devised a system wherein different classes of people (Alphas, Betas, Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons) correspond to different levels of power, intellect, and wealth two of the most powerful were upper classes (Alpha and Beta), and three last lower classes were slave, Alpha and Beta dominated lower classes. It is opposite with Of Mice and Men book of John Steinbeck at point although in Of Mice and Men book poor people had the loneliness but they were not dominated by anyone. The second point between Brave New World book and Mice and Men were in Brave New World upper classes were molded have more right but in Mice and Men upper classes have more freedom. The next part that we are going to mention about between Of Mice and Men book and Brave New World is the love of each character's relationship. Through the book Of Mice and Men of the author John Steinbeck, I think you are already know the type of love as well the affection of George with Lennie, they have found companionship. George and Lennie, they watched out for one another. Moreover, they have a dream of finding a fixed place, where they could call home, a farm of their own, they were doing what they can do to against the loneliness. George also knew Lennie very well, they had been friends for a long time as well as they cared about each other and looked after one another. Even though George was mostly looking after Lennie than the other way around. Through this situation, you guy can see their relationship of love were Phileo type and what is Phileo type of love say? It said: "Phileo love is brotherly love. This type of love is most often shown within close friendships. This is a generous and affectionate love that seeks to make the other person happy with no expectation for the acts of kindness to be returned", that is exactly what George did to Lennie, he was never thought to receive something back to him. Thus, everything was so clearly that George and Lennie's love were a phileo type of love, an awesome brotherly love.
