A Brave New World Blog #25 What techniques does the author use to engage the audience and make the story effective?

Aldous Huxley uses techniques such as mystery and amazement in the novel A Brave New World. He uses mystery throughout the story and you can tell because Huxley keeps you reading because you want to find out what all has changed in the future. Its a mystery because you have to keep reading to see what Huxley has changed about the world he has created in A Brave New World. When I first read that they were making embryo's based on what they were going to do in life I was amazed and intrigued. I had to keep reading because I was so amazed by all the things that had changed about our world today. I think Huxley really wanted you to be amazed by his changes to the world he created. When the Savage starts misbehaving and rebeling against the new "civilization" you don't know what he is going to do next. Its another situation of just having to keep reading because the Savage is so unpredictable with his actions. He beat up Lenina for trying to seduce him and then he started a scene in the middle of the nursing home after his mother, Linda, died. He is an interesting character that keeps the mystery going.
