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.

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

The Internal and External Secretions factory glared with a fierce electric brilliance from every window of the twenty story building. While on their way back Lenina remembered when she was little girl how the whispers always haunted her in her sleep, and she explains she is not an epsilon. They land on Henry's forty-story apartment building and go down to eat dinner, where an excellent meal is served, and coffee and soma. Calvin Stopes and His Sixteen Sexophonists play.

BRAVE NEW WORLD CHAPTER 5 PART 2
Alternate Thursdays were Bernard's Solidarity Service Days. He looks up at Big Henry realizing he is late. When the clock strikes nine and it calls out "Ford" nine times. They all gather around for the Solidarity Service, soma tablets were passed around and the twelve stanzas were said. 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.

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.
