BRAVE NEW ESSAY TOPIC

Here is one of the AP essay topics from 2012 that could apply to the first few chapters of Brave New World:
"And after all, our surroundings influence our lives and characters as much as fate, destiny, or any supernatural agency."
- Pauline Hopkins, Contending Forces

Choose a novel or play in which cultural, physical, or geographical surroundings shape psychological or moral traits in a character. Then write a well-organized essay in which you analyze how surroundings affect this character and illuminate the meaning of the work as a whole.  Do not merely summarize the plot.

    I like your topic, but I would like to see how you would go about writing an essay with it.
