Brave New World Chp 10

Bernard sets up an appoinment to talk to the Director when he comes back from New Mexico.  In the meantime John sneaks into the house where Lenina is intoxicated and goes through her things and expresses his interest in her.  Bernard comes back to the London incubation area to find the director waiting for him and announcing to the workers that Bernard is a theat to society for being different.  At the last moment Bernard brings in Linda and John and the Director is clearly flustered that they are there and he becomes the butt of a bad joke and he runs from the room followed by the laughter of the workers.

Brave New World Chp 8

This chapter gives a background to John's life and it shows how he was isolated as a kid because he's a hybrid of both worlds and accepted by neither.  His mother was not fond of the idea of monogomy which made John into an outcast.  John found his passion in reading at first it was only a job manual from his mother but eventually he read Shakespeare's work.  At the end of the chapter Bernard offers John to come to the civilized world with him along with his mother.  I think that Bernard will use John as blackmail against the director so he can stay in London however I don't know why he is bringing Linda along with him.

Brave New World Chp 7

Lenina and Bernard enter the reservation and start to experience the savages' culture.  Lenina is immediately frustrated by her surroundings and is uncomfortable with the lack of cleansliness.  They witness a dance/celebration being performed in which a young man is sacrificed to their gods in hopes that they will recieve rain and crops, Lenina is again distressed by these events.  They find the director's former female companion who was adopted by the savage population and she also could assimilate into their life along with Lenina.  Linda and the director also had a son together.
