Brave New World: Reading Log #2
Importance of Chapter 8: In this chapter I think again that it's showing an comparison of both worlds, the Other World being Linda. In the Savage World Linda told John that mesa might as well be called soma, because it basically does the exact same effect of soma, but without the nasty smell and such. This idea about having something there to get rid of your emotions and replace them with "happiness" is happening in both worlds. I'm guessing the Savages take it because they can't stand how they live at times and the Other World takes it so that it has stabily. Now we get to see how the D.H.C. or Tomakin will react once he finds out that he has a son. Seeing that having a family or bearing a son is something horrible in the Other World. This chapter is important because it shows the past of John and Linda, and what they had to go through; showing the differences between the Savage World and the Other World along with similarites.
Unfamiliar words: None
Chapter 9: Leinna takes a soma holiday (she took 6 somas) and Marx thought it would be a good idea to use this time to get special permission to have John and Linda to come with them to the Other World. Marx tells the flyer of the heilcopper to make tons of stops to get this permission done. Marx goes to Mond first and tells him that this could be for some good sicencetific research. Mond allows it and already orders were being sent to the Warden Office for this mission to begin. Marx left feeling amazing and when he entered the Warden Office he talked as though he worked with Mond all his life. Wardern hurried up the documents to give to Marx for the special order and walked Marx all the way to the lift gate where they said their farewells. Marx decides to take a shower, get a massage, shave, and eat a great meal before heading back to the Savage Resvation. Meanwhile John stood outside Marx publeo shouting for him only to get no answer. John runs up to the door and decides to go inside ( by smashing one of their windows with a rock) and take a look, instead of seeing if anyone was home, John saw Leinna's things. He smells her belt "drowning" in her perfume. When he finds her powder box he starts putting the powder all over his cheat and arms; rubbing his cheek on his arms he said Leinna's name. John walks over to the next room only to find Leinna sleeping soundly on the bed. He bends down next her watching her, and wanting to hold her hand, but he cannot for he feels he shouldn't put dirt or diguest on the beautiful sight before him. He hears the helicopper outside and runs jumping out the window to meet Marx.
Importance of Chapter 9: Chapter 9 is in important in the sense of it showing us the inciting event. Marx goes everywhere (Other World) in order to get this permission allowed. Marx figured out who the father is (D.H.C.) and with him threatening Marx of going to Iceland, Marx saw this as an oppuritny to basically say "Send me to Iceland now, D.H.C.!". Meanwhile, as all this so going on with Marx, John is in their pubelo basically smelling all of Leinna's things. Thus showing us that John is in love with Leinna which is not allowed! I think this chapter is important because it starts showing us "irony" things. To explain more, its "irony" that in the Other World you're suppose to feel happiness everytime, and yet Marx is feeling happiness, but for doing something "evil", and John falling in love with Leinna is cliche and how he "drowns" himself in her perfume. It's sorta like the explostion to the conflict.
Unfamiliar words: zippicamiknicks, acetate, cygnet, vestal
Chapter 10: We are back in Lodon (Other World) and the D.H.C. and Froster are in the fertilzing room talking about Marx and how replacing him should be no problem at all. The D.H.C. mentions how Marx is late and then Marx shows up almost yelling "Good Morning Director!". The D.H.C. gets everyone's attention in the room by yelling "Ladies and Gentlemen! Look here!" The D.H.C. tells them how Marx is or will courrpoed their perfect society if he stays here any longer and should be sent to Iceland where he can't corrupte people so easily. Then, the D.H.C. turns to Marx and asks him if he has any reason not to send him to Iceland, which Marx answers "Yes". Marx turns around and opens the passage which where Linda comes out of and everyone laughs at how disguesting she looks. Linda runs to her Tomakin and buries herself in his chest telling him that she is his Linda. The D.H.C. thinks it's a monssterous joke and tries to push her away, until she tells him that she had a baby. The laughter and the D.H.C. are silent and gasps looking at Linda. The D.H.C. then puts his hands on her waist as she cries telling him how it can't be her fault since she did all her drills, but also tells him that John was a great comfort to her as well. Linda calls John in and when he comes in he can't believe that his father is actually the D.H.C. and screams "My father!" over and over again. The laughter raises up again and the D.H.C. turns pale and finally runs out of the room with his hands over his ears.
Importance of Chapter 10: The D.H.C. finally sees his "happy" family. This chapter kinda shows how twisted this world is, in the meaning that the D.H.C. was trying to get rid of Marx because he didn't want Marx snitching on the D.H.C., but at the same time Marx had the D.H.C. secert actually with him, which he brings in to show him; making the D.H.C. disguested and run out of the room. This chapter is important because it shows not only how twisted the world is, but it shows a small glimpse of care in the D.H.C. when he places his hands on Linda's hips instead of pushing her away, kinda like he wants a family.
Allusions: "My Father" is an allusion to the prayer "my father art in heaven..."
Unfamiliar words: peritoneum, spermatozoa, recapitulated, portentously, ignominy, voluptuous, grotesquely, scatological
Chapter 11: The D.H.C. ran away and resigned becoming ex D.H.C. due to him having a son, which everyone wants to meet and figure out who the person was whom was kneeing before the ex D.H.C. saying "My father!", however people do not want to meet Linda or even get near Linda. Even though Linda is conoditied like everyone else, her apperance is too disgusting that no one wants to be near her. Linda gets so depress that she goes on a soma holiday taking 20 grammes of soma everyday. John, Marx, and Dr. Shaw are discussing Linda's soma hoildays and Dr.Shaw tells Marx that she has about a month or two before she's finished. Which is probably for the better good, because she will be happy when she goes and no one has to put up with her! John disagrees with the Dr.Shaw and Marx because he feels it's not right to be doing that to Linda and the somas will be shortening her life. Dr.Shaw makes a point to say that the somas aren't really shortening her life by the fact that she won't age again and how they prefer that she is taking soma then not taking it and shouting and screaming maddness. John in the end is convinced or given in to the Dr. and Marx about the matters of Linda. Mond recieves a letter report from Marx about John, in which Mond starts to feel angry when he reads that Marx is pratically giving him orders on how to run the society by saying and agreeing with John that the society is too expisenve, but Mond clams down and just laughs at Marx's report. Meanwhile, Marx shows Joh the hatchery room. John sees that everyone in the room are indentical and sees the process on how babies are made or how humans are made. He recites Miranda again only to throw up afterwards in disgust. Afterwards, Marx takes John into a helicopter and takes him to they place where they teach upper-caste children how to act or what's funny and what is no funny. Miss. Keate shows them around while Marx tries to flirt with her. They head into a room which contains little boys watching how the Savages whip other people for the ritual and they find it funny and start whipping themselves. John asks why they are doing that and Miss. Keate replies that it is extaroidnary funny. When they leave Marx has made a sucessful in getting to have Miss. Keate that very evening. John has no idea what to think of this world and he repeatly sees his mother even though she is on a soma hoilday and even though she isn't pretty. Marx makes a call to Leinna asking her if she wouldn't mind taking John to the Feelings tonight with her, which Leinna says yes and comes singing into the changing room of the Betas and Fanny asks her why she is so lively and Leinna replies that she taking John out to the Feelings and must fly! Leinna and John are at the Feelings and Leinna tells John to put his hand on the metal knob, which he starts feeling everything going on in the movie, but at the end of the movie John suggests to Leinna that she she not watch that. Leinna doesn't understand what John is trying to say and they go to Leinna's home, but instead of spending the night together John says goodnight to Leinna and goes home, and Leinna cries her eyes out an takes 3 gramme tablets of soma.
Importance of Chapter 11: This chapter is showing how John is starting to react to the world he thought was going to be heaven. When he sees how they make babies, he recites "O Brave New World.." in a very disgusted tone and then throws up in one of the lurrels. He thinks the idea of soma is wrong and that killing Linda by soma is wrong. John is starting to view this world to be utterly horrible. Marx becomes a jerk and starts using John so he can become "the life of the party". Marx starts getting all kinds of girls, taking soma, and leaving his old friend; starts liking this world he lives in now, because now everyone wants him and wants to befriend him.

Brave New World: Reading Log
Chapter 1: The D.H.C. and Mr.Forster show the students around the lab explaining how the emybros are made and transformed. The D.H.C. gets tried of talking to the students about the emybros and let's Mr.Froster explain everything, which he is more than happy to do-having his love for numbers. The D.H.C. metions the state motto; "Begin at the beginning"
Unfamiliar Words: bosknaotzisty, predestinators
Chapter 2: The D.H.C. and the students enter the nursey where the room is full of roses and books and the D.H.C. commands the nurses to bring the infants to the room. They sit the infants on the floor facing the roses and boxes. The babies enjoy the flowers burning and the books burning, but the nurse pulls down on two levels one setting off the sreins and electrify the floor. After the D.H.C. has had enough of showing the students of "force liking" he takes the students to the Betas; which are elemntary school kids whom just finish their first lesson of elemantary sex and now is doing elementary unconissonces. The D.H.C. presses a button that tells the children while they sleep that they should hate all the other castes and the Betas are the best.
Unfamiliar Words: gratuitous, viviparous, decanted, hypnopaedia, indefatigably
Chapter 3: The D.H.C. takes the students to the garden showing them the kids that are playing sexual games in the garden. The contoller shows up and the D.H.C. races towards him introducing him to the students. The Controller goes on telling the students about "family" and "home". As this goes on Leinna and Fanny are talking about seeing or having guys on the side; Fanny tells Leinna she has to be with some other guy than just Henry Forster or the D.H.C. will be upset with her. Fanny gets a pregecnry susbitsuce. Everyone belongs to everyone else. Henry talks about Leinna as though she was meat and Benard Marx hates that and he also hates how Leinna starts thinking that she is meat as well.
The motto "Everyone belongs to everyone else" is used a lot in this chapter. "History is bunk" The Controller tells the students that having a "home" or a "family" was the worse thing that happened before Ford. "Home" was a prison and "family" was isolated relationships.
Unfamiliar words: apertures, axiomatic, insurmountable, conscientious, pneumatic
Chapter 4-Part 1: Leinna marches into the alpha men changing room and walks up to Marx asking him out loud about their date to New Mexico, loud enough for Henry to hear, but it's ironic because "everyone belongs to everyone else". Every one thinks Marx is twisted in the head due to "mistakes" while he was in his tube. Leinna goes on to her date with Henry and Henry mentions to her about being four minutes late and then later on in their date he states that the plane was seven minutes late, and he also states how people running about and not following their routine are stupid.
Part 2: Marx feels that everyone makes him sick even Leinna and then he orders two Delta-minus twins to get out his plane for him telling them to hurry up. Marx flies towards the Emotional Collage building to meet his friend Watson, who is a very good looking guy and is extermly popular with the ladies-he is everything an Alpha-Plus should be. Watson and Marx are in common with the sense that they know that they are not normal and they suffer with the things around them. Watson talks about his wirting being able to actually have "power" and "pecrice" through to someone. Marx tells him that Watson has no idea how good he has it and Marx starts crying telling Watson that he has no idea what Marx just went through.
Unfamiliar words: parathyroid, vivaciously, contemptuous
Chapter 5-Part 1: Leinna and Henry go out on their date; Henry descirbles the things happening around them; the idea that they are useful even when they die by growing plants. Leinna startes reciting things that she was taught when she was little about hating khaki and being glad she is who she is, when she was sleeping (hyponedia). Henry is proud of knowing everything important that is going on and sunddely shows some care for the dead people, but then quickly says that it's okay and they will be useful in growing plants. Leinna then reminds Henry about the belt and asks him where he got it for Fanny wants one.
Part 2: Marx goes to a soditary meeting which he has to attend every other week; he arrives late and grabs the neartest seat which he ends up disliking because he sits next to Morgana, a girl with unibrow, which ends up bugging Marx until the end of the meeting. They take soma in the form of strawberry ice cream in a circle of twelve and sing "orgy-porgy" over and over again while they are dancing in the red twilight. In the midst of all that they all say "He's coming", but Marx doesn't hear him so he lies and says the same thing. After the meeting is done, Morgana asks Marx if he thought it was exciting, it thought a while for Marx to answer because he was distracted by her eyebrow, but he tells her-lying- that it was exciting. Morgana's eyebrow is a sign that shows that not everyone is perfect like the soctiey wants them to be.
Unfamiliar words: incessant, deturgescence, plangently, inconspicuously, incandescence
Chapter 6-Part 1: Leinna and Marx go out and Marx doesn't enjoy his date at all, because Leinna wanted to be with other people, having soma, and not want anything to do with all the unesscary stuff that Marx was talking about earlier. Marx and Leinna go back to their plane and Marx lets the plane hover over the sea and he states that he wants to watch the sea in peace when Leinna attempts to turn on the radio. Marx starts talking about how he wants to know what passion is and what strong feelings are, but Leinna thinks its all gross and wants him to just take soma and be "happy". Marx finally gives in and lets Leinna do what they wanted to do and they go to a hotel where Marx takes four soma tablets where him and Leinna start sleeping together. The next day Leinna asked if he had fun yesterday and he just nods; which he does for the next couple questions she asks him which , in turn, make her feel down about herself. Marx then countines to say that he wish he could feel something of more power more strong, something passionate. Leinna again, doesn't understand what he is saying and just deems him odd and tells Fanny that she finds Marx very attartive if only he weren't so odd.
Part 2: Marx gets his paper signs to go to Mexico from the D.H.C. only to find that the D.H.C. wanted to have a deep convoerstion. The D.H.C. ends up telling Marx about the time he went to Mexico, and how he took a girl with him and they rode horses and took walks, looked at the Indians until one night he woke up to find her gone and he searched for shouting her name in the thuderstorm that awoke him minutes ago. Marx ,at the end of the D.H.C.'s story, tells him that it must of been horrible, but he ends up sounding jealous instead of feeling sympthay. The D.H.C. realizes what he just done and threatens Marx that he will send him to Iceland if he hears anything of supsiscion. Marx feels the room slamming the door behind him feeling good not threathen by the D.H.C.'s threat at all, and knows that the D.H.C. won't do anything.
Part 3: Marx and Leinna are on their trip in Mexico visiting the Savage Resvation when Marx gets a call from Watson saying that the D.H.C. is looking for a replacement for Marx, and that Marx was gonna to go to Iceland for real. Marx hangs up finally realizing that the D.H.C. was serious about sending him away. Their guide tells them that an savage will lead them to their resting place, and tells Leinna that the savage will not hurt her and that they have been perfectly tamed.
Unfamiliar words: haggard, pneumatic,
Chapter 7: The Indian guide leads Leinna and Marx to their resting area, but Leinna notices the things around her and becomes very horrified; she tells Marx that she wants to go home, but Marx is actually quite interested in the things around them. Leinna sees an old man going down a ladder with disease, bent back, wrinkled skin, grey hair, and bursied looking skin. She is disguested and asks Marx what is wrong with the old man; he simply says "old age" and Leinna doesn't understand, for nobody from the Other World aged at all; they stayed young and just died at 60. They countine to walk behind their guide to their place when he montions them to came up the ladder and walk straight towards the door. In doing so, Leinna and Marx come face to face with mothers, whom are breast feeding their babies in a circle. Leinna is yet again disguested and Marx suggests the idea of how great it must be to have mothers or for Leinna to be a mother. Leinna screams at Marx telling him "How could you!" They then turn away to be confronted with some type of ritual. Women, men, childern all dancing around to the beating of the drums-which reminds Leinna of "orgy-progy", which she whispers to herself-the music stops and a man goes to a chest full of black snakes and starts throwing them at people, and the people pick them up and start dancing with them as the beating of drums start up again. The music stops again and everyone puts the snakes in the middle of the circle in doing so one man comes up and sparkles corn meal on the snakes another one, a woman, comes and pours water on the snakes. A coyote masked man comes up with a young boy who is blessed and then walks around the circle of snakes. Leinna is again scared when the coyote man starts whipping the boy everytime the boy makes a complete circle around the snakes. The young boy can only make it seven times and a old man takes an eagle feather dips it in the young boys blood and puts it in the circle. The young boy is then carried off and everyone leaves as though disappearing to the Nether World. Leinna sits down in a corner horrified hiding behind her hands as she begged Marx to go home. Then a stranger comes up to Marx and the stranger is upset! The stranger is angry that he didn't get to be the scarfice and Leinna looks up at him asking him "You wanted to be whipped?" The stranger says of course and how he could bring more rain and crops better than the young boy did and he could go around 15 times. The stragner looks at Leinna and blushes and she just smiles at him finding him attarctive. Marx asks who the stranger is and Leinna, Marx, and the stranger start walking towards the stranger's house as the stranger explains himself to Leinna and Marx. They walk into the house and the stranger calls "Linda!" who is his mother and happens to be the girl who the D.H.C. went with 25 years ago. Leinna is diguested by Linda, for Linda is fat, stinky, missing two teeth, wrinkles, sagging cheeks, red veins in her nose, blood shot eyes, huge breast, and bugles of her stomach and hips. Linda cries and rushes over to hug Leinna telling her how she missed the Other World and kisses Leinna, which Leinna shudders. The stranger, who is indtroduced as John, and Marx leave talking a stroll out and Linda and Leinna are left alone. Linda tells Leinna that everyone here is mad and how only one person belongs to one person, for Linda got beat up by a bunch of angry women for sleeping with their men. Linda says they are so uncivilzed for they lived with "everybody belongs to everybody else". Linda then sneezes into her hand and wipes it off onto her blanket, Leinna sees this and is -again- disguested.
Importance of Chapter 7: I think this chapter gives us an insight on how the Savage World compare to the "Civil" World compare with one another. In the Savage World they have families, and dare I say it, MOTHERS!! Everyone ages and have some type of dieseas whereas the Other World there is no such thing as mothers or families, no one ages, and no one is ill or sick. The place in the Savage World is dirty, stinky, and only one person belongs to one person; these people also have rituals and religion expect it's different they believe in Pookong and Jesus whereas the Other World believes in Ford (they're place is clean and stable) This chapter in my opinion shows us a comparsion of these two places and how different these places are and what is considered to be civilze and non-civilze.
Allusion: Linda and Leinna are like the same person they are both Betas and have lived in the Other World. John is an allusion to John in the bible, whom got his head chopped up due to Salone wanting it after she danced for her mother's husband?
Unfamiliar words: indignant, incredulity, ophthalmia, goitres, semblance
Chapter 8: Marx and John are taking a walk together and Marx asks John to explain how all of this is true or how it became to be and then it leads to a conversation about John's past. John tells Marx how he (as a little boy) would not quite understand Linda (his mother) stories of the other world and whenever he asked such questions about the stories she had no answer and he would often seek an answer from one of the Indians. John started to get bullied by other boys saying nasty things about his mother, with words he did not understand but knew that they were harsh. Linda started teaching him how to read little things at once, but when John saw the Eymbro maintance book from the Other World; Linda told him he might not understand it, but he didn't give up it took him an whole hour reading the title before he throw the book and gave up. John got bullied again by other boys still saying nasty things about his mother, but John didn't care and remained clam for he knew how to read and they didn't; with that in mind John manage to read the Eymbro maintance book completely. Pope(Linda's lover) started coming over and at first Pope threw John out of the room so that Pope can have some time with Linda. They would drink mesa, and Linda said it should be called soma. John hated Pope and it wasn't until one night that he found a William Shakesphere book (four hundred years old) and Linda said that Pope had given it to her and it should do John some good reading skills. John started reading the book and found it to be very beauitful and powerful more powerful than all the rituals and music the Indians ever did. One day when John came home he found Pope and Linda sleeping together in bed and within John he started remembering the words within the book and it gave him power to grab a knife from the kitchen and stab Pope two times in his shoulder. Linda woke up and cried for the sight of blood scared her. Pope threw John at the wall, and was about to raise his hand at the boy, which John pepared himself for, but instead lifted John's chin and laughed at him as John cried and told John to go. John began to find some relief in clay modeling, which that relief was soon shattered when the woman he loved got married to someone else. When John is done talking Marx tells John that he can take him and Linda to the Other World. John is so happy and excited that he recites one of Shakesphere's poems. "O Brave New World".

Chapter 2: The D.H.C. and the students enter the nursey where the room is full of roses and books and the D.H.C. commands the nurses to bring the infants to the room. They sit the infants on the floor facing the roses and boxes. The babies enjoy the flowers burning and the books burning, but the nurse pulls down on two levels one setting off the sreins and electrify the floor. After the D.H.C. has had enough of showing the students of "force liking" he takes the students to the Betas; which are elemntary school kids whom just finish their first lesson of elemantary sex and now is doing elementary unconissonces. The D.H.C. presses a button that tells the children while they sleep that they should hate all the other castes and the Betas are the best.

Chapter 3: The D.H.C. takes the students to the garden showing them the kids that are playing sexual games in the garden. The contoller shows up and the D.H.C. races towards him introducing him to the students. The Controller goes on telling the students about "family" and "home". As this goes on Leinna and Fanny are talking about seeing or having guys on the side; Fanny tells Leinna she has to be with some other guy than just Henry Forster or the D.H.C. will be upset with her. Fanny gets a pregecnry susbitsuce. Everyone belongs to everyone else. Henry talks about Leinna as though she was meat and Benard Marx hates that and he also hates how Leinna starts thinking that she is meat as well.
The motto "Everyone belongs to everyone else" is used a lot in this chapter. "History is bunk" The Controller tells the students that having a "home" or a "family" was the worse thing that happened before Ford. "Home" was a prison and "family" was isolated relationships.

Chapter 4-Part 1: Leinna marches into the alpha men changing room and walks up to Marx asking him out loud about their date to New Mexico, loud enough for Henry to hear, but it's ironic because "everyone belongs to everyone else". Every one thinks Marx is twisted in the head due to "mistakes" while he was in his tube. Leinna goes on to her date with Henry and Henry mentions to her about being four minutes late and then later on in their date he states that the plane was seven minutes late, and he also states how people running about and not following their routine are stupid.
Part 2: Marx feels that everyone makes him sick even Leinna and then he orders two Delta-minus twins to get out his plane for him telling them to hurry up. Marx flies towards the Emotional Collage building to meet his friend Watson, who is a very good looking guy and is extermly popular with the ladies-he is everything an Alpha-Plus should be. Watson and Marx are in common with the sense that they know that they are not normal and they suffer with the things around them. Watson talks about his wirting being able to actually have "power" and "pecrice" through to someone. Marx tells him that Watson has no idea how good he has it and Marx starts crying telling Watson that he has no idea what Marx just went through.
Unfamiliar words: parathyroid, vivaciously, contemptuous
Chapter 5-Part 1: Leinna and Henry go out on their date; Henry descirbles the things happening around them; the idea that they are useful even when they die by growing plants. Leinna startes reciting things that she was taught when she was little about hating khaki and being glad she is who she is, when she was sleeping (hyponedia). Henry is proud of knowing everything important that is going on and sunddely shows some care for the dead people, but then quickly says that it's okay and they will be useful in growing plants. Leinna then reminds Henry about the belt and asks him where he got it for Fanny wants one.
Part 2: Marx goes to a soditary meeting which he has to attend every other week; he arrives late and grabs the neartest seat which he ends up disliking because he sits next to Morgana, a girl with unibrow, which ends up bugging Marx until the end of the meeting. They take soma in the form of strawberry ice cream in a circle of twelve and sing "orgy-porgy" over and over again while they are dancing in the red twilight. In the midst of all that they all say "He's coming", but Marx doesn't hear him so he lies and says the same thing. After the meeting is done, Morgana asks Marx if he thought it was exciting, it thought a while for Marx to answer because he was distracted by her eyebrow, but he tells her-lying- that it was exciting. Morgana's eyebrow is a sign that shows that not everyone is perfect like the soctiey wants them to be.
Unfamiliar words: incessant, deturgescence, plangently, inconspicuously, incandescence
Chapter 6-Part 1: Leinna and Marx go out and Marx doesn't enjoy his date at all, because Leinna wanted to be with other people, having soma, and not want anything to do with all the unesscary stuff that Marx was talking about earlier. Marx and Leinna go back to their plane and Marx lets the plane hover over the sea and he states that he wants to watch the sea in peace when Leinna attempts to turn on the radio. Marx starts talking about how he wants to know what passion is and what strong feelings are, but Leinna thinks its all gross and wants him to just take soma and be "happy". Marx finally gives in and lets Leinna do what they wanted to do and they go to a hotel where Marx takes four soma tablets where him and Leinna start sleeping together. The next day Leinna asked if he had fun yesterday and he just nods; which he does for the next couple questions she asks him which , in turn, make her feel down about herself. Marx then countines to say that he wish he could feel something of more power more strong, something passionate. Leinna again, doesn't understand what he is saying and just deems him odd and tells Fanny that she finds Marx very attartive if only he weren't so odd.
Part 2: Marx gets his paper signs to go to Mexico from the D.H.C. only to find that the D.H.C. wanted to have a deep convoerstion. The D.H.C. ends up telling Marx about the time he went to Mexico, and how he took a girl with him and they rode horses and took walks, looked at the Indians until one night he woke up to find her gone and he searched for shouting her name in the thuderstorm that awoke him minutes ago. Marx ,at the end of the D.H.C.'s story, tells him that it must of been horrible, but he ends up sounding jealous instead of feeling sympthay. The D.H.C. realizes what he just done and threatens Marx that he will send him to Iceland if he hears anything of supsiscion. Marx feels the room slamming the door behind him feeling good not threathen by the D.H.C.'s threat at all, and knows that the D.H.C. won't do anything.
Part 3: Marx and Leinna are on their trip in Mexico visiting the Savage Resvation when Marx gets a call from Watson saying that the D.H.C. is looking for a replacement for Marx, and that Marx was gonna to go to Iceland for real. Marx hangs up finally realizing that the D.H.C. was serious about sending him away. Their guide tells them that an savage will lead them to their resting place, and tells Leinna that the savage will not hurt her and that they have been perfectly tamed.
Unfamiliar words: haggard, pneumatic,
Chapter 7: The Indian guide leads Leinna and Marx to their resting area, but Leinna notices the things around her and becomes very horrified; she tells Marx that she wants to go home, but Marx is actually quite interested in the things around them. Leinna sees an old man going down a ladder with disease, bent back, wrinkled skin, grey hair, and bursied looking skin. She is disguested and asks Marx what is wrong with the old man; he simply says "old age" and Leinna doesn't understand, for nobody from the Other World aged at all; they stayed young and just died at 60. They countine to walk behind their guide to their place when he montions them to came up the ladder and walk straight towards the door. In doing so, Leinna and Marx come face to face with mothers, whom are breast feeding their babies in a circle. Leinna is yet again disguested and Marx suggests the idea of how great it must be to have mothers or for Leinna to be a mother. Leinna screams at Marx telling him "How could you!" They then turn away to be confronted with some type of ritual. Women, men, childern all dancing around to the beating of the drums-which reminds Leinna of "orgy-progy", which she whispers to herself-the music stops and a man goes to a chest full of black snakes and starts throwing them at people, and the people pick them up and start dancing with them as the beating of drums start up again. The music stops again and everyone puts the snakes in the middle of the circle in doing so one man comes up and sparkles corn meal on the snakes another one, a woman, comes and pours water on the snakes. A coyote masked man comes up with a young boy who is blessed and then walks around the circle of snakes. Leinna is again scared when the coyote man starts whipping the boy everytime the boy makes a complete circle around the snakes. The young boy can only make it seven times and a old man takes an eagle feather dips it in the young boys blood and puts it in the circle. The young boy is then carried off and everyone leaves as though disappearing to the Nether World. Leinna sits down in a corner horrified hiding behind her hands as she begged Marx to go home. Then a stranger comes up to Marx and the stranger is upset! The stranger is angry that he didn't get to be the scarfice and Leinna looks up at him asking him "You wanted to be whipped?" The stranger says of course and how he could bring more rain and crops better than the young boy did and he could go around 15 times. The stragner looks at Leinna and blushes and she just smiles at him finding him attarctive. Marx asks who the stranger is and Leinna, Marx, and the stranger start walking towards the stranger's house as the stranger explains himself to Leinna and Marx. They walk into the house and the stranger calls "Linda!" who is his mother and happens to be the girl who the D.H.C. went with 25 years ago. Leinna is diguested by Linda, for Linda is fat, stinky, missing two teeth, wrinkles, sagging cheeks, red veins in her nose, blood shot eyes, huge breast, and bugles of her stomach and hips. Linda cries and rushes over to hug Leinna telling her how she missed the Other World and kisses Leinna, which Leinna shudders. The stranger, who is indtroduced as John, and Marx leave talking a stroll out and Linda and Leinna are left alone. Linda tells Leinna that everyone here is mad and how only one person belongs to one person, for Linda got beat up by a bunch of angry women for sleeping with their men. Linda says they are so uncivilzed for they lived with "everybody belongs to everybody else". Linda then sneezes into her hand and wipes it off onto her blanket, Leinna sees this and is -again- disguested.
Importance of Chapter 7: I think this chapter gives us an insight on how the Savage World compare to the "Civil" World compare with one another. In the Savage World they have families, and dare I say it, MOTHERS!! Everyone ages and have some type of dieseas whereas the Other World there is no such thing as mothers or families, no one ages, and no one is ill or sick. The place in the Savage World is dirty, stinky, and only one person belongs to one person; these people also have rituals and religion expect it's different they believe in Pookong and Jesus whereas the Other World believes in Ford (they're place is clean and stable) This chapter in my opinion shows us a comparsion of these two places and how different these places are and what is considered to be civilze and non-civilze.
Allusion: Linda and Leinna are like the same person they are both Betas and have lived in the Other World. John is an allusion to John in the bible, whom got his head chopped up due to Salone wanting it after she danced for her mother's husband?
Unfamiliar words: indignant, incredulity, ophthalmia, goitres, semblance
Chapter 8: Marx and John are taking a walk together and Marx asks John to explain how all of this is true or how it became to be and then it leads to a conversation about John's past. John tells Marx how he (as a little boy) would not quite understand Linda (his mother) stories of the other world and whenever he asked such questions about the stories she had no answer and he would often seek an answer from one of the Indians. John started to get bullied by other boys saying nasty things about his mother, with words he did not understand but knew that they were harsh. Linda started teaching him how to read little things at once, but when John saw the Eymbro maintance book from the Other World; Linda told him he might not understand it, but he didn't give up it took him an whole hour reading the title before he throw the book and gave up. John got bullied again by other boys still saying nasty things about his mother, but John didn't care and remained clam for he knew how to read and they didn't; with that in mind John manage to read the Eymbro maintance book completely. Pope(Linda's lover) started coming over and at first Pope threw John out of the room so that Pope can have some time with Linda. They would drink mesa, and Linda said it should be called soma. John hated Pope and it wasn't until one night that he found a William Shakesphere book (four hundred years old) and Linda said that Pope had given it to her and it should do John some good reading skills. John started reading the book and found it to be very beauitful and powerful more powerful than all the rituals and music the Indians ever did. One day when John came home he found Pope and Linda sleeping together in bed and within John he started remembering the words within the book and it gave him power to grab a knife from the kitchen and stab Pope two times in his shoulder.

Pope threw John at the wall, and was about to raise his hand at the boy, which John pepared himself for, but instead lifted John's chin and laughed at him as John cried and told John to go. John began to find some relief in clay modeling, which that relief was soon shattered when the woman he loved got married to someone else. When John is done talking Marx tells John that he can take him and Linda to the Other World. John is so happy and excited that he recites one of Shakesphere's poems. "O Brave New World".
