His Fordship (Brave New World)

"His fordship Mustapha Mond! The eyes of the saluting students almost popped out of their heads. Mustapha Mond! The Resident Controller for Western Europe! One of the Ten World Controllers." PAGE 34

This quote explains how important the Controller is. He is a prominent figure in the world. It seemed like a big deal when he arrived at the hatchery. As he stayed, he distributed alot of information to the students. He just kept telling them what happened and what it did. What he liked and what he did not like. The Controller was a distinguishable presence on the grounds of the hatchery.

Towards the end of the chapter, the author used an interesting set up that got difficult to follow at times. A few different conversations and situations were going on at once. The author was jumping back and forth. It made it easy to understand and comprehend that the things were going on at the same time, but consequently, it was difficult to think about all of the different contexts at the same time.

I found it a little disturbing when the controller talked about the past as if it was such a disgraceful period. The negative talk of family relationships seemed like the total opposite of the way we view them today in which family is seen as a person's strength in difficulties.
