BRAVE NEW WORLD CHAPTER 11
After Linda and John's entrance the Director has resigned. Linda is upset because no one likes her and they won't even look at her because she is so gross. With all her feelings Linda has been taking 20 grams of soma which is way too much. The doctor realizes that this is bad and she will die in like 2 months, but since no one really cares its okay. At first John is mad, but then the doctor convinces him that he is actually lengthening her life. Everyone is being nice to John because he is still young and good looking. This makes Bernard happy because everyone is being nice to him. Also, with Bernard becoming so popular he has slept with six girls this week, even two in one day. Him and Hemholtz get in a fight over this though, so Bernard says he won't talk to him again. He starts to like the place that he once despised of, but what he doesn't know is that people are just pretending to like him because of his connection with the savage. Bernard goes and shows John around London, but when they go to the factory John gets sick at the sight of them making kids. Later Lenina walks in to the dressing room all excited because she gets to bring the savage to the feelies. Lenina is excited because she has the hots for him and now they finally get to hangout. When they end their date all John done is say good bye, therefor Lenina is upset and walks into her house.

INTERPRETATION
In chapter 11 we see Lenina having real feelings, when John only says good by the night they went to the feelies. People are changing, Linda is about to die from too much soma and Bernard is actually starting to like the place he is living in.

BRAVE NEW WORLD CHAPTER 8

 In chapter eight we learn about Johns past life. How all the boys wanted to sleep with his mom and he remember that the Pope would always come to visit them. The women in the village would whip Linda for sleeping with their men, and when John would try to protect his mom he was whipped too. She then resents being his mother so she hits him, but soon her mother instincts kick in and she comforts him. John was also teased by the other village boys for the way his mom acted. Linda tries to teach John how to read but the only book she had was The Chemical and Bacteriological Conditioning of the Embryo. Practical Instructions for Beta Embryo-Store Workers. He doesn't understand the book, but still he can read, and his mom cant really explain the book. The Pope then brings him a book The Complete Works of William Shakespeare. John then realizes that these words are about the Pope and Linda, so he hates the Pope and decides to kill him. He tries to kill the Pope while sleeping with his mom, and then Linda starts freaking out because of the blood. John ends his story telling by saying that he is always alone, and Bernard says that is the same exact thing for him too. When John deals with his problems instead of taking soma, he goes and lays on a rock in the hot sun like Jesus on the cross. At the end of the chapter Bernard asks if John and Linda would like to come back to London with him.

INTERPRETATION: John has actually gone through a lot in his life and can't just get through it by taking soma. We also reach the inciting event in this chapter. There are many allusions to Shakespeare and Hamlet in this chapter as well.

Since Lenina is out cold Bernard decides to make a plan to get John and Linda to London. Bernard flies back to Malpais and goes secretary after secretary before finally getting a hold of Mustapha Mond. He convinces him that it is a matter of scientific interest, so Mustapha allows him to. After Bernard goes to talk to the Warden and convinces him to let them leave. All while Bernard is gone, John breaks into the rest house and goes through Lenina's things. He is in love with her perfume and the zippers on her clothing, he then sees Lenina. Johns goes over and whispers about her beauty, he quotes a line from Romeo and Juliet. He then hear Bernard's helicopter and gets out as fast as he can. In chapter ten they are back in London, and the Director and all the workers are talking about how Bernard is a jerk and failed to do his social responsibilities. The Director asks if there is any reason why he shouldn't be sent to Iceland, Bernard then say yes there is. After, Linda walked in shouting, "Tomakin! Tomikin! You made me have a baby." Everyone then gasped and there was an uproar in the room. After Linda John walked in saying, "My father!" The director glared at them and walked out of the room with his hands over his ears.

INTERPRETATION: In our world what John did would be considered creeper status, but if Lenina woke up and seen him she probably wouldn't have cared.

BRAVE NEW WORLD CHAPTER 7
Bernard and Lenina are at the Indian Reservation, and Lenina hates their guide because he smells. She complains that they should have brought the plane because she hates walking everywhere. She feels so small when they are on the ground at the bottom of the hill. They watch the savages as they are dancing with cloaks from turkey feathers fluttered from their shoulders, huge feathers diadems exploded around their heads. As they danced their silver bracelets, heavy necklaces, and turquoise beads would all rattle. When they danced snakes were being thrown at their feet, and they watched the little boy get whipped as blood pored from his back. The boy just laid there dead as the men picked up the snakes and ran away. Soon three women carried the little boy away. Lenina did not like this at all, women giving breast to their babies, the dirt, piles of rubbish, the dust, the dogs, and the flies. She searched in her pocket for some soma, but remembered that she had left it back at the rest house. John the savage then appears and starts talking about he wanted to be the one to whip the little boy, but they wont let him because he is white. John the savage then tells them how is father is the controller and his name is Tomakin. John then takes Lenina and Bernard over to meet his mom, who is very old and is dressed in tattered clothes. Being in the place she lives she is so happy to see civilized people.

Savage people actually have problems in their life and they learn how to deal with them.

When they are on their way home Bernard is hovering over the water enjoying the calmness but Lenina just wants to go home. Bernard tries explaining that they are free and alone, but she doesn’t really care. That night they go to Bernard’s place and sleep together, but the next Bernard wishes he wouldn’t have because he wants to delay the impulses instead of going to what is normal.

Then the Director goes off about the past and how he went to the Salvage Reservation with a young Bata girl and then she got lost in England. Bernard just let him talk because usually people don’t go off about their past. After, the Director’s rant he tells Bernard that the next time he is caught not acting like an infant he will send him to Iceland, but he doesn’t really take it as a threat. It doesn’t take the effect that it should though and he goes out of the room and says, “He can fight giants.”

As the soma kicked in people started thinking that Ford was there and they went crazy. "He is here! I hear him!" Sarojini Engles shouts. They all sing the song Orgy-porgy, and Bernard just pretends to go along with it, pretending he is feeling the same way as everyone else.

INTERPRETATION: In this chapter we learn that everyone just takes soma, so they can just be happy and don't actually have to think. That is also why they have the Solidarity Service, the more occupied they are the less they think about what is actually going on in the world.

BRAVE NEW WORLD CHAPTER 1        
In chapter one it starts the story of with the grey building of only 34 stories, the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre. It also tells us about the Worlds state motto community, identity, and stability. The director gives the students a tour of the building, while the students franticly put down everything he says on their notes. The director shows them the incubators and explains the Alphas, and Betas, and tells the students how the Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons are but through Bokanovsky's process which makes one fertilized egg divide until you get 96 human beings instead of one. All the eggs are grown in test tubes, and everyone is  born into the world with what has been chosen for them. People who are meant to be stupid they get their oxygen cut off.

This world is very strange and I don't understand why they are growing human beings in test tubes? I don't understand how they could be so cruel and cut the stupid peoples oxygen off? This world doesn't really make sense and is still kind of confusing since we are only in chapter two.

Next the director goes off about how they try to teach kids while they are sleeping.

The next morning he could repeat word for word the lecture he had heard about the Nile River.

BRAVE NEW WORLD CHAPTER 3

There is a boy who refuses to play erotic games with a little girl, which in this world is normal. We are introduced to Mustapha Mond a world controller who is a man of middle height, black haired, with a hooked nose, full red lips, and eyes very piercing and dark. At the end of their shifts Henry Foster goes to the dressing room and starts talking about Lenina Crowne. Who Bernard Marx also likes.

Comparison between Possibility of Evil and The Lottery

        In The Possibility of Evil and The Lottery they both have the sense that they need to carry on the tradition. In The Possibility of Evil Miss. Strangeworth has to keep the roses alive, and keep the town sweet and peaceful like her grandpa built it. In The Lottery, it is a tradition to have a lottery ever year and who ever wins is stoned to death. Mrs. Hutchinson tries to complain but know one listens because they just follow along with the tradition. Both stories also have the idea that whats seems to be good may not always be good. Miss. Strangworth is always sweet and seems innocent, but she mails the nasty mean letters to people. You may think you want to win the lottery, but if you win it in this story you are stoned to death. The two stories both have the same kind of idea how good things might not turn out to be that good.

Sequel to Possibility of Evil

           I stood there at the edge of the table with such confusion of how this could happen. My roses are gone! They have been there for generations. Who would even think to do this? I slipped on my shoes and walked out side, as I sat by my roses streams of tears came running off my face. Everyone who drove or walked by her laughed. "Looks like your street isn't so Pleasant anymore!" called a young boy from across the street. Miss. Adela Strangeworth walked back inside slowly, tear after tear still falling from her face.

        I sat there not knowing what to do, but knew I had to do something about this. I needed to make my daily trip to the grocery store so I put on a hat, coat, and shoes. I slowly stepped outside making sure no one could see me. When I finally got to the grocery store, I thought to myself angrily, why not buy  some new roses? I waved wildly at Mr. Lewis but he just kept walking. No one likes me in this town anymore, what am i going to do? I quickly got my groceries and grabbed the reddest roses in the aisle. Watching my feet step by step I walked to the check out line. Until SMACK I feel to the floor, someone just tripped me. I laid there frustrated, not knowing how to get up. I just laid there dead. No one was going to help me so I just laid there and closed my eyes.

Possibility of Evil

       
Students need to write a blog entry of an least 1 paragraph explaining the protagonists motivations for her action in “The Possibility of Evil”.  Students need to cite at least three pieces of evidence to support their analysis


    Miss. Strangeworth tries to keep the town just like her grandfather left it, the roses that her grandmother planted never leave Pleasant street. She gets mad when people would even think to take the roses off of Pleasant street. Everyone waves to her when they see her and ask her how she is doing, everyone loves her. There is one thing no one knows about her though. Once a week she writes a letter to someone in the town. The letters she wrote this week were saying things about a husband cheating and another letter saying some people just shouldn't have children. She wrote a letter to Mrs. Foster who is having an operation next month that said this, "YOU NEVER KNOW ABOUT DOTORS. REMEMBER THEY'RE ONLY HUMAN AND NEED MONEY LIKE THE REST OF US. SUPPOSE THE KNIFE SLIPPED ACCIDENTALLY. WOULD DOCTOR BURNS GET HIS FEE AND A LITTLE EXTRA FROM THAT NEPHEW OF YOURS?" Miss. Strangeworth never knew if the information was true but she sends the letters anyway.  At the end Adela says that she needs to keep her town clean and sweet, but people everywhere were lustful and evil and degraded, so they needed to be watched.

Trip Work

11.    Describe three capabilities of the houses mentioned in the article.

One, before you even get up the house starts heating up, then at seven o’clock when the alarm goes off it signals to turn on your light and the coffee maker. Once you step into the bathroom, the news will pop up on a video screen and shower turns on automatically. Two, once you leave it will automatically lock the doors, and if someone comes to the door, you can open your phone and see who it is. If you know who it is, you press a button on the phone and it will unlock the door and let them in. If you don’t you press a button and it with turn an outside light on. Three, if you are low on anything in the refrigerator it will order groceries, and they will have the groceries there for you when you get home. Also if you start cooking something it will record you hands, so if you have to stop you will know where you left off.

22.    Who is intended to benefit from living in such homes? How?

They both have some way of helping with cooking and helping with groceries. In the actual house building the heat turns on before they wake up and in There Will Come Soft Rains it heats the beds before they go to bed. Also, they have a built in alarm and built in coffee maker, and they have a security alarm.

44.   I think the most useful innovation would be the built in alarm, because my biggest struggle is getting up in the morning. I would actually get up in time cause it would force me to get up and I don’t think I could sleep through it.

Every morning they would wake up at seven o’clock, seven-nine the alarm would yell breakfast time. Eight-one they would go off to school, or work.  Nine-fifteen a song would sing time to clean. Ten o’clock the sun came out behind the rain, and ten- fifteen the garden sprinklers went off. Twelve a dog whined at the door. Two o’clock a song sang and two-fifteen the dog was gone. At two thirty-five they would play cards. Four-thirty the nursery walls glowed. Five o’clock the bathtub would fill with water, and six, seven, eight o’clock the dishes were cleaned. Nine o’clock the beds were warmed with their hidden circuits and at nine-five a voice would speak from the ceiling. Last at 10 o’clock the house began to die.

Sequel to Pedestrian

Where am I? I sat there quietly as people helped me and brought me to a room covered in all white. I am not crazy! Why cant people just go outside and walk around, I don’t understand? Nothing made sense, I am just a normal guy who doesn’t have a wife and likes to take peaceful walks in nature. Why do we all have to stay inside and watch T.V? I had to get out of this place fast before I really did go crazy. As I walked to room #432, the assistant asked if I needed water of some paper and pencils to draw. I shook my head, and shut the door as fast as I could. My room was painted all white and all it had was a bed and a table. How was I suppose to get out of here, there are no windows? I sat an the old, creaky bed and thought about how I could escape. After sitting for about ten minutes I decided I would go to the bathroom and get out from there. I opened the heavy door and slowly crept out in the hall. Watching my every step so no one would catch me, I could see the door. I had nothing else to but run, I counted to three in my head and took off. People were yelling at me left and right, “Leonard, get back here! LEONARD!” I couldn’t listen I just kept going. I was out at last I ran all the way to my house, shut the door, locked it, and locked all the windows. My nightly walks might have to change to forest walks, and I will have to be careful what I do, but the last thing I will do is become like everyone else.

Finally, that little punk is dead! I got in my car to tell Hazel and George their son is dead. I went up to the big black door and knocked three times, after waiting for a minute someone finally came to the door.  As Hazel answered the door, I asked if I could come in. I stepped inside the old house it smelt of mold. I need to get out of this house fast, so I better tell them soon. "George, Hazel i have some very sad news. Your son escaped from jail, took off all his handicaps, and he is now dead." They had no idea what to say, Hazel just stared crying and said how she finally remembers everything now. George's eyes slowly started to tear up and he looked so confused. I tried to comfort them as much as I could but nothing seemed to work. "Well I need to get back to business sorry again for your loss." I stood up out of my chair and walked to the door. Just as I got to the door I heard and loud fire and felt a a bullet go straight threw my heart. I was dead.

1. George is handicapped but not hazel because she is more average then him.

2. The government is looking for Harrison because he escaped jail. 

3. The Handicapper general but 500 pounds of weights on him, glasses that make him go blind, black caps to cover his perfect white teeth, and then later she shoots Harrison. 

4. Harrison's parents don't really respond to what they have seen because they can't really remember what has happened because Georges handicaps and Hazel is average and doesn't remember.

5. The main conflict is person vs society. Harrison likes nothing about the government and thinks they are being treated wrong. The conflict is resolved by Harrison being shot. The resolution helps make the story successful because it tells us that we can't all be equal.

6) The conflict in this story is when Harrison gets shot. 

7) Everyone in this society doesn't really have a personality because they are living under the rules to be equal. No one can think or knows how to do things because they are just an average person and have to stay average or the have handicaps. 

8) Vonnegut is saying that everyone in this world should be equal. To show this he lets the average people stay the same, and makes advanced people wear handicaps. So, people who are prettier than others wear masks, ones who have the ability to think get ear pieces that go off every 20seconds, and people who are stronger than others have to wear weights. In my opinion it didn't make everyone equal be the ones who have to wear handicaps are practically being punished. 

9) I think Harrison would be a better general because he would take all the handicaps off of everyone, he would then probably let people enjoy them selves and let them do what they want. People probably wouldn't know what to do at first but then they would realize what they can do. The ones who are just average would probably start have to gain a knowledge and learn what their strengths are.
