Revised 3rd paragraph

Huxley uses contrast between the society in the World State and the savage reservation to show how materialism has replaced religion. The savage reservation is a very primitive form of a not so far from our own, religion is a huge part of the society and the source of purpose for the people living in it. This is put in contrast to the World State that has no religion, who instead worships the industrial ideas of Henry Ford. These two lifestyles contrast each other in almost every way, where on the reservation pain and suffering are thought a natural part of life the World State has eliminated it completely. This contrast is best expressed by the conversation between John the Savage and Mustapha Mond, the Controller. John expresses what he values; "I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger," (Huxley 240). Mustapha Mond tells him that "God isn't compatible with machinery...we prefer to do things comfortably" (Huxley 234, 240) This shows that the contrast between the reservation and world state is two different ways of life that cannot coexist. Huxley presents us with these to worlds and we see pieces of our own world in both of them. Through the contrast of the two he shows that we are slowly moving toward materialism and away from God.
