chapter three

At the beginning of this chapter,about 400 little kids, around the age of eight or nine, are playing out in the garden outside of the factory. Some of the kids are playing complex games while others are performing sexual activities. Though in this time no one is permitted to reproduce with a spouse, kids start having sex around the age of seven or eight. One little boy does not want anything to do with the sexual activities, and he is taken to the psychologist of the factory to get analysed. The Controller comes to the factory and talks to the Director and the students ( which are the people getting trained to become workers of the factory.) The Controller, I believe, has the highest posistion at the factory, and he is considered one step under Ford( God.) The Controller begins to tell the students about historical information that they were never allowed to learn. He talks of mothers, fathers, homes, families, monogamy, romance, and reproduction, which are all very radical ideas to the students. In their world there are no families or parents, "everyone belongs to everyone else."
