Social+Predestination+Room

Melissa Yang  // What function(s) does this scene perform? What is it doing? //
 * Each embryo is already assigned to a predestined job and to be an Alpha or Epsilon
 * The embryos are conditioned to be whatever their predestination is

// Why has it been written? What purpose does it serve? //
 * This reveals later in the book to be the reason that everyone accepts their job and their social class, and they are satisfied with it
 * The scene also provides background on another process the embryos undergo before they become babies

// How is the scene’s construction (i.e., the way it’s built) conducive to its function & purpose? //    
 * Huxley revealed the social predestination of the embryos in this scene, by having the director take students on a tour at the Hatchery and Conditioning Centre and explaining what went on in the different rooms
 * This scene is in the beginning, and the director explains what goes on in it. That shows that the information being given is highly important and the reader should pay attention.
