Brave Thesis

When I write my essay on Brave New World, I think I'm going to address the subject of how the Brave New World society effects human connections with each other along with how the reservation sucks the humanity out of the Indians, and how John, as a mix of them both, turns out to be the most stable human being. I want to explore the interactions between the people in the Brave New World society, as well as the interactions between the people of the reservation, and how each reacts with the "outsiders".
A possible thesis would be "In Huxley's Brave New World the two separate societies were conducive to disfuntional relationships between the New World people, and likewise between the Indians, but out of the chaos of control a form of stability could be formed by mixing the two cultures".
Other possible sources I could use in my essay would be the book we use in class: Postmodernism for Beginners, the previous book we read 1984, cross-culture-ism texts. What I would really want to show is how the two different societies are not very humanistic and moral by themselves, but when they are brought together they can form real humans that care, feel, and understand what morality actually is. I would also like to address how different cultures have come together in history to help each other and achieve things together that they would not have been able to alone.
I'm not definitely sure if this is the approach I want to follow, but I like the topic, and I think it would be a nice challenge to try and argue this subject.

Good luck to me right? ^-^

If I can't follow this topic, then I will probably stick with how the technologically productive society dries up morality and humanity. They may be easier, but not as fun.
