chapter two

In this chapter, the description of the castes becomes a little more in depth. There are five different castes, from highest to lowest they are ; Alphas, Betas, Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons. Each caste is only allowed to wear the color of their caste. The workers of the factory brain wash the children from the age of 8 monthes, to learn what they can and cannot like, according to their castes. They use electric shock and loud noises for the infants that cannot yet talk, and hypnopaedia for the older children. Hypnopaedia is used while the children are sleeping to teach them their social status. They are taught to look up to the higher classes, and yet be glad that they are the class that they are. There are also strange references to Henry Ford, and they base the year that they are in now to his lifetime. I'm pretty sure that they conside Ford a god, but I'm not positive yet.
