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.

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.

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..."

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.
