The Match Banquet happens every year for all the children who will be turning seventeen or who are already seventeen. The Match Banquet is located at a hall and it is very big, of course. All the seventeen year olds and there family sit together at a table. The announcer will call up a girl one by one and she will have to stand up.

Then, they put all of the club veterans in the middle and had the new, younger members do “speed dating” to find a mentor.

Through the realm of history, fads have changed and diverged tremendously through out the years. Whether we are talking about the Emo style, or bell-bottom jeans, fads have greatly helped defined history since the very begging of time. The book Bellwether written by Connie Willis is a great representation of the many fads individuals face through a life time and how they evolve.

Brave New World Brave New World, written in 1932 by Aldous Huxley, is a dystopian novel set in London, 2540, a time referenced as “The Year of Our Ford 632.” Brave New World opens in the Central hatching faculty and conditioning centre in London, as the director of hatcheries is showing how the facility works to a group of Alpha students.

As soon as people are “born” they begin hypnopædia. Slogans, sayings, and information are played to them while they sleep.

In addition, I will talk about how the Religion, formal education, and modern intrusions have affected this custom today.

Throughout the process of initiation, ancestors and deities are often called upon for blessings and protection.
