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.

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.

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".
