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.
