Paradox

"Outside, in the garden, it was playtime. Naked in the warm June sunshine, six or seven hundred little boys and girls were running with shrill yells over the lawns, or playing ball games, or squatting silently in twos and threes among the flowering shrubs." p. 30

The reason this picture and description is paradoxical is due to the time of the story. The setting of the story is hundred of years into the future. But, isn't that a little odd in that this is similar to the beginning of time in the Bible? Well, except for the fact with hundreds of children. Adam and Eve were naked in the garden when they had no shame that they were naked. So, maybe, the author wants me to believe that this is the beginning of a new world in a way. These children have been brainwashed or are ignorant to the fact they are naked in the same way that Adam and Eve were. In the beginning chapters, it is evident that these people believe they are God in the way they can create people. This must be another parallel to God and their belief that they are the ultimate creator. Also, maybe these people think they're greater than God in saying they can keep hundreds in the dark.
