Brave New World Ch. 7-10 Summary

Lenina and Bernard go to the reservation and are exposed to foreign things. They forget to bring Soma and are trying to cope with the reality without it. They meet a boy named John who speaks perfect English after they watch a man be whipped in the middle of snakes. John talks about his mother and father, which Bernard realizes is the director but doesn't point it out. John explained to them how he grew up hearing stories about the other world, but was never even excepted in his own home. His mother's lover brought the complete set of Shakespeare which he read and memorized. Bernard asks John to go to London with him and he accepted on the condition he could bring his mother. Lenina is grossed out from the reservation so she over doses on soma. John finds her after rummaging through her stuff and is enticed by her appearance. Just as the director is about to summon Bernard to Iceland he presents Linda and John. The director is blamed for getting Linda pregnant and leaves the room dumbfounded and embarrassed.

Josie College

The campuses I am interested in either Cal Poly or Hancock to start out. I want a field in management. I love being my own boss and telling other people what to do. I see a lot of different challenges in my future with classes, homework, and mainly SAT scores and scholarships. It will be so much work, but in the end it will all be worth it.
