When Bernard and Lenina reach the reservation, Lenina is shocked by the horrible place, she finds the place strange, but she finds some similarities between the Indians’ pounding of the drums and with their Ford’s Day celebrations. Things get more disgust and frightening when she sees a ritual in which they suck blood from a child until he dies. When Lenina wants to eat her Soma to forget the bad views she saw, she realizes that she forgets them at the hotel. Lenina and Bernard met an Indian who speaks English; he informs them that the bloody ritual is for asking the gods for rain. He then tells them that he is not an Indian; he reveals to them that he is the son of the Beta girl who was lost when she visits Mexico with the director. He then introduces them to his mother, who is pleased to meet some civilized men after a long time; she then narrates to them her tragic story and how the …show more content…
He also suffers when his mother gets angry and when other women came and beat her because she sleeps with their men. He also tells him how he was the subject of his mother to shout at when she gets angry because she did not want him. John feels different and superior from other children of the village because he learns to read from his mother. John tells Bernard how he is fascinated about their brave world where everyone belongs to everyone and many other things that he happened to hear stories from his mother. John gets excited when he is asked by Bernard to go with him back to the civilization, John accepts and wants his mother to go too. Bernard has a hidden reason behind asking to take him back, which is embarrassing and take revenge from the director. John then asks Bernard if he is married to Lenina, but Bernard laughs and says
Revolution, one of the most significant similarities is characters. One of the many allegories is Old Major and Vladimir Lenin. Vladimir Lenin was born on April 10th, 1870. He was born into a wealthy family and early in his life, his brother was executed for trying to kill Czar Alexander the 3rd in a bombing plot. This event eventually led him to becoming a Marxist. One of the main things that Lenin is known for is being one of the founding fathers of Communism and for being the leader of the Bolshevik Party. The Bolshevik Party was established during the Russian Revolution to overtake the Provisional Government because of their inability to keep up with their commitments to the Russian citizens. When speaking of Old
The maim point of this chapter is to show the love developing between John and
Chapters 7 and 8 foreshadow the the future of Lenina. In these chapters Lenina meets Linda a woman who used to be of an upper caste but was forced to stay at the reservation after discovering that she was pregnant. At first Lenina is disgusted calling Linda speaking in with derogatory terms such as “So fat. And all the lines in her face, the flabbiness, the wrinkles. And the sagging cheeks, with those purplish blotches…” (Huxley 121) But once Lenina is able to move past Lindas looks the two instantly hit it off, and talk of all the great times each had had as an upper caste woman, but the story of Linda eerily foreshadows the fate of Lenina. It can be assumed that what has happened to Linda will also happen to Lenina, as she is also of
When Bernard visited a “Savage Reservation” in Mexico he met an unlikely person of interest, Linda. Linda was a British women who had been injured and taken care of by the “Savages”, she had a child named John, who was the son of the director of the hatchery in London. In Linda’s current state she was ugly and broken, but she dreamed for the day of returning to London, to be away from the “Savages”. Her son John also, wished to venture to this “Brave New World” because he was an outcast in the village he grew up in since his mother was an outsider. And so, the beginning of Bernard’s transformation began.
Analysis: The above quotations clearly display the similarity between John and the Narrator’s relationship to that of a father and a daughter. John controls the majority of the Narrator’s behavior to the point she feels an overwhelming sense of guilt for her incapacity as John’s wife. The Narrator is restricted in her actions and is therefore unable to fulfil her wifely duties, forcing her to consider herself as a burden. When is reality, John treats the Narrator as his daughter and does not permit her to complete her duty. For instance, the Narrator dislikes the yellow wallpaper and wishes to have it removed; however, John does not allow her to do so and acts as if it would feed into a child’s stubbornness. His continued belief in his superiority disregards the Narrator as is wife and instead infantilizes her. He believes her identity exists only through him, which merely encourages his paternalistic
Because she finds Bernard so strange, Lenina contemplates whether or not she should go to the North Pole with Benito Hoover instead of going to New Mexico with Bernard even though she has already been to the North Pole once before and did not enjoy it. She convinces Bernard to go to a wrestling show and Bernard is sullen the entire time and refuses to take Lenina's suggestion to take some soma. On their way back, he stops within a hundred feet of the waves of the Channel and begins talking about his feelings of being an individual, while Lenina begs him to leave due to the “rushing emptiness of the night.” She convinces him to take some soma and they go back and have sex.
An old Indian man is found underneath a cottonwood tree where Leon, the protagonist, discovers him. Originally the reader did not know the dead man was a Native American man, but after facial descriptions of the man when Leon was painting his face, which was part of an Indian ritual, gave obvious examples of his ethnicity. Leon and his
Compare and contrast the ideologies and the political and economic practice of Lenin and Stalin.
Bernard who contains much of the delusional mindset John will later adapt, feels a connection that he fails to find in anyone in “The New World”, allows for John to surround himself in a world where stoma conquers every individual. John soon learns how intolerable this society is for Bernard and all its inhabitants, as he experiences it, day after day. He becomes even more disappointed and rather confused when meeting Lenina, who he profoundly grows feelings for that are never corresponded in the way that he'd like. The idea of “everyone belonging to everyone” is a reality that John chooses not to conform to, for he believes that it is deceitful, to engage in intimate intercourse with someone, without having true intentions of building a life together. As much as he craves Lenina, in the same way she does, he refuses to act in such behavior even when he is given the chance to fulfill his desires.
Emil Zatopek, a Czechoslovakian long-distance runner once said, “An athlete cannot run with money in his pockets. He must run with hope in his heart and dreams in his head.” This quote speaks more in a short statement than I can in 4 minutes. However, these athletes receive more in a scholarship and experience than they ever can in a salary.

Joseph Stalin and Vladimir Lenin were both Bolsheviks looking to make a communist state in Russia. They both had ideals and methods that brought them to where they got to and what they had achieved. While Lenin was more of a democratic follower, and allowed inter-party discussions, he was also a great theorist of socialism. He was also a communist who focused on the temporary capitalist development of Russia. As for Stalin, he was an opportunist politician, and was also a communist mostly just for his personal benefits and gains. He had and followed socialist policies and didn’t have the best personality and attitude, he was quite rude and disgraceful. These two leaders were mainly shaped into who they were due to their past, by comparing them, it will show if their pasts affected their ideology and methods as how different it was, also seeing how with the similar aims, how with their different attitudes and personality, they were able to
Self-acceptance is one of John"'"s major obstacles as a person. He envisions himself as repulsive and emotionally and physically languid. His pessimistic feelings towards himself prevent him from being able to confess his love to Elizabeth and express his pro-Burma feelings at the European Club. Due to his inability to do so, feelings of cynicism and melancholy build up in John, which in turn give way to less and less confidence. As John continuous his way down his emotional spiral he never does realize that all his fears and problems were caused by fears and problems within himself.
Bernard tries explaining how he wants to be free, have his own individuality, and have his own ability to think and feel; not like everyone else, but like himself. He also explains how he wants to be happy, truly happy. He feels that in the World State, and because of his conditioning, this can never happen. Lenina’s response enables the audience to see how much she’s been brainwashed, showing how powerful the state is.
Famine experienced by parents highly influenced the health of their children. Furthermore, grandparents also play a big part in influencing the health of their grandchildren. If grandparents were affected by a famine their grandchildren would also experience the effects and
