BRAVE NEW WORLD CHAPTER 4 PART 1
Lenina is sharing the lift with many alpha males that she has probably slept with. She then see Bernard and starts talking about their date to Mexico. We also catch a glimpse of Benito Hoover who is left to hang out with Bernard on the roof, because Lenina goes of on her date with Henry. Lenina gets in the helicopter and all Henry say is, "Your four minutes late." They then fly over the city and Lenina talks about how hideous the color khaki and they watched the leaf-green Gamma girls, the black Semi-Morons stand around the monorail tram entrance. Lenina also makes it clear that she is glad she isn't a Gamma.

BRAVE NEW WORLD CHAPTER 5 PART 1
Lenina and Henry finish their game of golf and head back to the helicopter. They hung over the forest of Burnham Beeches that stretched like a great pool of darkness towards the bright shore of the western sky. 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.
VOCABULARY:
Deturgescence: something with jazz music

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.
ALLUSIONS:
Orgy-porgy allusion to children song
Big Henry allusion to Big Ben
Hailey - great job picking out allusions and vocabulary words. Continue with the interpretations of the chapters. Note - you still need chapter 6.
