Chapter 8 Brave New World Ideas


  • Bernard asks John to explain his life, because Bernard what’s to know how John’s life is. But mainly  because he wants to know how he was born.
  • Linda sleeps with married men of the reservation, because she is used it since she would do it outside of the reservation.  Her actions causes the people in the reservation to be mad at her and beat her. John learns about it since he sees the women beating his mom and the children making fun of him. 
  • Pope brings “mescal” to Linda which is a strong alcohol, and ends up having lots of sex with her. 
  • John doesn’t like Popé because he sleeps with his mom. John just walks out of the house while Pope with his mom. 
  • The allusions of Shakespeare in this chapter are by giving quotes and John getting a book from Pope about William Shakespeare. John uses a quote from Shakespeare describing how there’s actually good people in this world who have come  to help people in need referring himself to Bernard since he believes he is helping him out by taking him to the Other Place. When Bernard is just using John  to embarras  the  director. 
  • John tells Bernard that he feels alone since he gets rejected but the people in the reservation and he is mostly alone. 
  • John wanted to know how it feels to be crucified because since people who get crucified are people who are chosen by the people and get honored, som I believe that’s what John wanted to finally feel accepted even if meant his death. 
  • Bernard proposed John the idea to go to London with him, but John  tells him that he will go only if Linda goes along with him. 
  • When John asked Bernard if he was married to Lenina and he heard a “no” he was happy again.

Alejandra Medina who?

Today I searched up myself and I came to find out that there’s a lot of people out there in this workd with my same name. For example there’s a girl named Alejandra Medina and is a secretary at Nissan. Also there was way more people out there like in Colombia and many other places. I didn’t find anything about me just different people with different ages and races but nothing that alarmed me.

Good morning Post


Yesterday in class Dr. Preston explained to us how if we start our morning with an alarm and keep snoozing we start of the day with a broken promise. This makes sense because a day before we are always palling things to do until the next morning when we wake up to do and we never end up doing then since  we keep snoozing our alarms. Staring today I woke up without snoozing my alarm, also I try to put my phone away from me before I go to sleep and lastly I’m trying to get everything done and ready for the next day during the night before I go to sleep.

Chapter 7 Questions “comment”


  1. 1. Johns mom’s name is Linda. 
  2. Linda comes from the other new world outside the reservation. 
  3. She got horrified when she found out that the director and Linda are parents to John. 
  4. Linda said that John was a contraceptive failure. 
  5. When Lenina Heras the ceremony drums she is reminded of  the dance.

Racism?

Today in class dr. Preston and one of my fellow classmates Mario brought up an interesting topic towards the book that we are reading right now. It brought to my attention how little things that we don't really pay attention to matter. Since my classmate ended up creating a big topic to discuss in class about racism. I didn't catch this in the book right away or maybe I did but I didn't focused my attention on it, so I seemed not to care about it. After all, what was brought up to class was the author of the book Brave New World being racist. Which really makes since now that I think about it, because since we started reading the book it has only been about white people and not other races have been brought up by the author un the book. Also in chapter 7 when two important characters Bernard and Lenina meet this young man and his family they get weird out and surprised to see a guy with a different color of skin speak perfectly English. I say that the author might be racist towards other races.
