as a safety precaution. If there were dinosaurs on the island I could help

destroyed, why is that?
We all had to make a choice. We agreed that silence was the best
option. The evidence of there ever having been dinosaurs on the island had
to be destroyed so that no one would ever know about the park. It was just

was not well received by the first audiences to witness it, but none the less is
now recognized as one the finest pieces of literature written by an American.
Hawthorne's the Scarlet Letter was written in the eighteen hundreds,

Leaving the building, everyone he passes recommends soma for his bad mood.
Huxley shows the reader that drug use is becoming more and more an
acceptable way out for a weak society. He is showing society that we are
becoming emotionally incapable of dealing with pain and hurt. Furthermore,
the students, while speaking with the director of the London Hatchery, are
told at one time people were viviparous, and were disgusted and outraged.
