BRAVE NEW WORLD

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.

The Savage world is a lot different then the world in London. People in the Savage world grow old, actually care about people, and have a "child hood". Unlike people in London who don't have a mother and don't really like to think about things, they just take soma to be happy. 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.

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.

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.
