When reading Brave New World, I found it difficult to put myself in John's situation. John was constantly treated like an outsider with the Indians and spent so much time alone. Then when he went London, everything was not what he expected. The "civilized society" his mother praised so much turned out to be completely corrupt and terrible. Everything was so sinful and it was all a facade that people accepted.
It is like he does not belong anywhere, unless he was sent to an island. I find it hard to go from one terrible place and then go to another horrific place. If i were John, I do not which place I would prefer if I was not allowed to go to an island. In one I would be lonely in another I would be the center of attention and still feel lonely.
