Writing task 4: reading and education
core question: what should an educated person read?
in brave new world, the citizens of the world state can read, at
least the alphas and betas, but they read very little. most of their
education is delivered through hypnopaedia, or sleep teaching.
deltas and below are conditioned to dislike books. linda, who is a
beta minus, brings one book to the reservation, the chemical and
bacteriological conditioning of the embryo: practical instructions
for beta embryo-store workers, which is a job manual. she gives
it to john and teaches him to read. later popé brings him the
complete works of shakespeare, which he found in an old chest in
the antelope kiva. john's education consists of those two books plus
whatever mitsima taught him about making pots, bows, and other
crafts.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
