Brave New World (Ch. 1)

When I first started this book I was easily confused. The language was different and obviously the things the author wrote about were very different from what I was used to. However after a discussion in class, it started to make much more sense. This story takes place in the distant future and is what the author believes will come of our world. Rather than creating mankind the normal way, the people of this time have found a way to clone embryos and then grow them from nothing. They are categorized based on the way they are brought up (basically whether they will be useful or not). We learn very little of the people in the first chapter, but are taught the way in which these clones come to be.
