I am having a very hard time with Brave New World........?

Question

We have to read this for our summer reading for English. I have started reading it and I seriously think they are speaking a foreign language. I don't understand anything that is going on. I keep catching parts about ovaries and making offspring and stuff but I am still clueless. I actually fell asleep while reading it today! I am still on chapter one though, will it get better? What am I gonna do? This seems like a book I am gonna have a tough time with.

Answer 1

SPARKNOTES

i read the story but read the sparknote summary for every chapter. It really helps.

and the book sucks balls.

The story idea is good, but the whole actually READING it thing sucked

It's about how no one gives birth anymore, but  hvave test tube babies.

The story gets weirder

Answer 2

well maybe if u have someone to read it to u little by little and explain it to u maybe that would be easier.....

Answer 3

They make babies in a factory ( in bottles i believe ) and most of that stuff is talking about the manufacturing process.  It is the same with most Sci-fi in that the author creates terminology that within the realm of the novel is commonplace, but in our world can be confusing.  It sounds like you are not very far into it.  Thats ok, it gets easier.
