Esperanza’s understanding of Sally changes drastically when they go to the carnival and Sally goes with a boy somewhere and has sex with him, leaving Esperanza to be raped by another boy. The following passage illustrates Esperanza’s
Postman states in his assertion that Huxley feared we would become a “trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumble puppy”. Throughout the story, sex is one of the main and entertaining and distracting factors to man.
