... we aim to achieve is attainable. Some people believe that the highest end is material and obvious (when a person is sick they seek health, and a poor person searches for wealth). Most people think that the highest end is a life of pleasure. Hedonists have defined happiness as “ an equivalent to the totality of pleasurable or agreeable feeling.”(Fox, 3) Some pleasures are good and contribute to happiness.

... and literature in the future world, scared that it may be rendered useless and discarded. Unlike Bradbury, Huxley includes in his book a group of people unaffected by the changes in society, a group that still has religious beliefs and marriage, things no longer part of the changed society, to compare and contrast today's culture with his proposed futuristic culture. But one theme that both Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451 use in common is the theme of individual discovery by refusing to accept a passive approach to life, and refusing to conform. In addition, the refusal of various methods of escape from reality is shown to be a path to discovery. In Brave N ...
... is generally divided into four periods: (1) the period up to 1594, (2) the years from 1594 to 1600, (3) the years from 1600 to 1608, and (4) the period after 1608. Shakespeare's early plays, unlike his more mature work, are characterized to a degree by formal and rather obvious construction and by stylized verse. His earliest dramatic works are possibly four plays dramatizing the English civil strife of the 15th century.

It was 1932, when Roosevelt, would acquire the renowned title of President of the United States by winning the election. It was sort of a platform for his campaign, as he said in Chicago Stadium, “I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people....This is more than a political campaign’ it is a call to arms.
