IRP Blog Post 4a


Connection:

While in a soma distributer place, John gets sick of the current day order and loses his calm composure. “Listen I beg you, lend me your ears. Don’t take that horrible stuff. It’s poison, it’s poison. Poison to soul as well as body.” (211) John is trying to tell people that the soma is controlling everyone so in order to feel free and independent, people need to stop consuming it. It reminds me of the Matrix when if you wanted to take the blue pill, you would wake up and the story ends while if you take the red pill, you stay in wonderland. So the question is, will John end up taking the red pill or will find a way to keep taking the blue pill?
