Brave New World - Mustapha Mond “Come on Rico, just get in the car and let’s get out of here,” exclaimed Jack, Rico’s best friend. Rico stands next to the passenger door, with his hand on the handle, but is frozen. Racing through his mind are both reasons for going with his friends and reasons for staying home. He knows his friends have been drinking heavily, but he does not want to feel left out. On the other hand, Rico has strong morals and knows what may happen if he gets in the car. As the debate in his head continues, he hears a soft, luring voice coaxing, “Ya Rico, why don’t you sit back here with me' You don’t want to leave me alone, do you'” His girlfriend, Allison, leans out the window and smiles at Rico. He looks into her brown eyes and, knowing full well the danger he is placing himself in, gets into the back seat of the car. Sadly, Rico sacrifices his good principles and knowledge for enjoyment and popularity.
