The Game of Life

"...But one's got to make the effort," she said, sententiously, "one's got to play the game..."(43)

Trying to be happy no matter the circumstances has always been a number one priority for me. Some people will live happy lives and others won't. This is a fact of life. However, I don't believe that you have to live a miserable life because you aren't at an advantage. Life is going to knock you down, kick you in the stomach, and then spit on you. It's a rough world, but we have to make the best of it. I feel like Fanny Crowne has the idea down pack. She understands the world she lives in and knows, maybe by force, that she has to try and play the game. This quote has such a strong impact on the audience. Fanny speaks boldly and bravely. It amazed me to see someone try and help a friend. In Brave New World I feel as if a sense of worry about me first and then everyone else is set. Fanny is trying to make Lenina realize she has to play the game in order not to get knocked down. Have you ever played the game Life? With every move your life is changing and in a matter of seconds everything can go down. Fanny is winning the game of Life because she knows she can't let life ruin her. She has to believe she can win.
