Creating a Satire

My experience with creating satire was easy because it's almost like you're agreeing with something that really wrong, and that very idea catches my attention completely. I like being sarcastic, I like writing with intentions to drop jaws. If i was asked again, I would create another piece of satire.

BNW Chapter 12

John felt offended that Bernard didn't  ask him if he wanted to meet people. John felt like a sideshow, like Bernards shiny new toy. He literlly had Bernard in tears because  he locked himself in. Good for you John. I'm  glad he sees the problem with this. Bernard had to man up and tell the assembly  John wasn't  going to make an appearance.  They were mad they had to be nice to Bernard, considering  his "unsavoury reputation". So while Bernard is getting devoured by these very "prestige" people, Lenina sat in the corner and was ready to tell John she has feelings for him. Of course she was troubled by the news and thought it was her fault that he didn't  want to show up. Interestingly  enough, the crowd stayed and Bernard continued  to host it while they were ignoring him and trashing his name to eachother. Until the Arch Songster decided  it was time to leave. He even took Lenina woth him. Haha. Somewhere else, Mutapha Mond wrote ...

BNW Chapter 7

Lenina and Bernard go to the reservation and just as I suspected, Lenina hates it and Bernard is bored. I will add, Lenina did react to the sacrifice appropriately-but these "lab-creations" are bland. Now that I think about it, why would Huxley present characters who aren't human. I mean these are lab rats we are witnessing interact with each other. How am I suppose to feel connected to these characters? Huxley is personifying these characters so basic, I'm questioning their value/importance. Bigger picture, do they really matter? They're all stuck on stupid because they need their soma. I learned from Linda that in their society, you are categorized and assigned a specific job with specific instructions that you are to perform. Linda is a character who use to belong to the "civilized" society but, unfortunately, stayed on the reservation after giving birth which was wrong in the "civilized" society.

BNW Chapter 6

So Lenina had to choose between going to the North Pole or the a reservation and she chose the reservation because it interested her more. I feel like I've been reading into this text too fast because there's so much happening in one moment. One moment Lenina is thinking about her choices, next she is conversing with Henry, someone she had shared a bed with, about her new lover. Every time she feels unease she thinks about her soma, but of course that is what drugs can do to a person. Both Bernard and Lenina devote themselves to "Ford" and kind of use expressively. Bernard presented an observation to Lenina he made about themselves-she didn't get it. He said "...that's why we went to bed together last night...like infants-instead of waiting like adults..." For a man in his place, that's quite a bold observation, in my opinion.
