Brave New World: 6

"The mosten stone poured out in a stream of dazzling incandescence across the road; the asbestos rollers came and went; at the tail of an insulated watering cart the steam rose in white clouds." -pg. 62

Probably my favorite aspect of this book is the diction. Although sometimes the words are too complicated for me to comprehend, it makes reading a lot more interesting and challenging. Early on, in the factory, Huxley described the medical procedures applied to the embryos. Because of his usage of scientific "mumbo jumbo," he gains credibilty for talking about the medical realm. That subconsciously makes his idea of this utopia less far-fetched and more realistic to the reader.

Here, however, he's describing the city around London. This takes place when Lenina and Henry Foster fly to play Obstacle Golf. The colorful diction and creative use of words throughout the book adds imagery to the book (which always isn't about rosy subjects) and makes the book much moer enjoyable to read. It was also refreshing to read some prettier language than children playing erotic games and babies being tortured.
