Fable

"There's a story one of the old Indians used to tell us, about the Girl of Mataski.  The young men who wanted to marry her had to do a morning's hoeing in her garden.  It seemed easy; but there were flies and mosquitos, magic ones.  Most of the young men simply couldn't stand the biting and stinging.  But the one that could- he got the girl."  This is an example of a fable.  It was a story to show lack of civilization is certain places.  John and Mustapha Mond were arguing about their philosophical differences.  John says that God still exists in every day life.  However, Mond says that God existed a long time ago.  I feel this is why they made up Ford, instead of God.  They believe that God no longer exist.  Mond and others banned religious books talking about God.  I feel that was so the younger kids would not believe in "old things," which to them meant God.  However, I believe that God does exist, and he is always with us.
