BRANDON HOLDER Wow, I guess I made it in time, 6:05 in the morning. So last class I wasn't really awake for most of the reading, but I'm going to go off what other people have said. I think for me, some part of me gets Lenina's stand. A lot of the time I realize that I don't want to know more than I do on certain subjects simply, because I like to keep my sanity. If I knew every single detail about people starving in Africa and innocents being killed in the the Iraq war than I'd probably be depressed more often then not. The phrase 'ignorancy is bliss' comes to mind and for some subjects and or particular situations it may be a very viable option.**

Ok first off i mostly wrote during the time we were reading, but from what i heard Lenina is going through a real bad case of culture shock. I just wonder about her mental state, and how this will affect her from now on. Will she stop those stupid repititions, or better yet will her mind snap and she began to think for herself.? Just the fact that she took soma when things got rough for her, and she cant do it now what's gonnna happen, is it goona cause her mind to short circuit? Also how is she going to react to their religious practices compared to hers? As far as Bernard goes he didnt seem disgusted or anything bad. I believe Bernard is more prone to live in our society now thatn in his own society where all the problems are solved by soma. I wonder what would happen if Lenina and Bernard were to have a child while on the reservation, would they be exiled from thier "perfect society" and how would they treat the child.** Joe: Ok so Lenina is starting to get real annoying. I'm sure some of you guys have witnessed spoiled girls who have to do just a little bit of work and are whining about it as if they're in a sweatshop (I'm getting to a point here). This is exactly the perception I have of Lenina. I mean when you go to a reservation for the purpose of just seeing how things are, they are not (BREAKING NEWS!) going to be familiar to you. Her complaining about everything is kind of highlighted too by Bernard's lack of complaining and just going on with the trip like normal. I think it's funny how Lenina panicked so badly that she couldn't get high and had to put up with experiencing the trip. What I couldn't help but wonder is what the people living in the reservations think of Lenina and Bernard. I mean listen to how disgusted and dumbfounded we are by the way these future people act and live, now imagine that confusion tripled by the even older civilizations. They're probably thinking something along the lines of "Dude, wtf?!"

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif">Morgan~ i would never leave my "soma" at home for a week. if that's what i would be relying on to calm me down and keep me normal, i would make sure i took extra. i think rebeca ramos-bekert (S/P- muh bad!]should look into making soma a real tihng. she's pretty smart so i think she could do it. and she would definately be the coolest person in the world.... but anyways. yea lenina was definately shocked by all the differences. haha, i haven't read if they have gone to church yet, but i'm pretty sure she's gonna go into a shock and faint or something. that would be really wierd going from Ford's society to our society. in Ford's time, she can talk about sex, and have sex when ever she wants. in our society it's looked down upon people who are open about sex. so yea. i'm done peace out.

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(0, 255, 171)"> i SORTA LIKE HOW THEY RELY THIER LLIFE ON DRUGS. eSPECIALLY IF [LIKE MORGAN SAID] IT CALMS YOU DOWN. AND YEAH I WOULD TAKE IT EVERYDAY. NOW, IF OUR SOCIETY WAS LIKE THAT TODAY, THAT WOULD BE PRETTY SAD. I WOULD NOT WANT TO LIVE IN A WORLD LIKE THAT IF ALL THEY DEPEND ON IS HAVING SEX LIKE IT'S A RITUAL ON A DAILY BASIS. IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT IF YOU WERE DATING THAT PERSON, BUT EVERYONE IS SLEEPING WITH EVERYONE, BUT AT LEAST THEY CANT GET DISEASES. GOD, THOSE PEOPLE WOULD BE SICK! AND I WOULD HATE NOT TO BE ABLE TO SAY MOM AND DAD, AND KNOW THAT I WAS MADE IN SOME BOTTLE. EW. GROSS. BUT ONE THING I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND IS WHY THEY HAVE THE DIFFERENT NAMES LIKE EPSILON, OR DELTA. IF THEY ARE SO PERFECT WHY DON'T THEY LIKE THE OTHER 'FAMILIES'? AMANDA-jO

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Rebecca Tackett~Okay so i am really far ahead i think i am on like chapter nine. Bernard and john seem like the people that are left out of everything and that is something that happens in real life today! out of all of them linda seems the weirdest. She seems like a regular person to us kind of but to the poeple in the book she is the odd ball out. Thyey seem like the ones that are going to try and break every rule that they possibly can. lenina and her soma i agree with morgan for once and really think that it should become real. it sounds like it would be really cool to have. But the way benard found her and could have done whatever he wanted with her is a really scary thought!! im done... SMOOCHES!!!! <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"> <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Robynne Gibaud I think that lenina is really shocked and I would be to if I were in her shoes. But I think it may do her some good. Its not her fault she is like this so people can't blame her. She know nothing else but this, she has been conditioned to this.

Vanya Liapin I smiled when Lynda was with a tone of aacuse that the Indian women bitt her when she slept with thir men. She thought and still thinks that that is normal. For some reason she accepts rule of the New World, she was even ashamed to go back because she had a baby, but she does not respect the Indian way. Im not one of those Indian women but i know that if someone would try to interfeer with my family i would do the same if not worse.

Roslyn Jones In this chapter I felt bad for Bernard because he felt that he was along in the world. Then they was reading Shakespeare with someone.Bernard get cut by someone and he was feeling like he was going to die. Then someone came to him and tried to help him out. Then he starting feeling like Im not by myself anymore. But I would like to know when whats his face ask Bernard was he married to his girlfriend and he just laught it off. He should marry her he been with her for a long time. She was to be love WELL I take that back because the way she is she think that she should be that way. I don't think marriage is on her mind too.

Robynne Gibaud I wasn't sure if I was suppose to write again but I will just in case. So far I think that Linda wants to go back to the other place and I think that john should vist there.

Aaron Reynon Just when i start understanding this book i end up getting confused. I dont know or i dont understand whats going on like with indian reservation...i dont know how they got to the reservation and stuff. Its still hard for me to understand. But i know that Bernard and lenina meets this kid named john who wants to sacrifice himself and what not. He was born cause his mother couldnt get an abortion in the reservation where she has being living since she was rescued by the indians. I can relate that to our society today...abortion is illegal to most states in the united states.

Lorreine Buesa Although Linda now lives in the reservation, she still acts like a civilized person. She still recites the things taught when she slept. It’s kind of how people are today. No matter where they end up or how different it is from what they are used to, they still do things their way.

Last class i wasnt really payin attenchion because the sub was ... different but i do think its good that there was no soma during the whole reservation thing because they get on my nerves when they take that stuff. its makes them so weak that if any litttle thing that makes them upset they go get some soma. I guess you cant really blame it on them though because they're conditioned but o well how they acted around the old and fat people was funny.

CHERITA : OK SO I'M WRITING ON HERE AND JUSTALKIN TO MAKE SURE I GET MY GRADE. MRS. RUU I DIDNT WRITE ANYTHING WHILE YOU WERE GONE BECAUSE I DIDNT UNDERSTAND WITHOUT YOU JUMPING IN EVERY 10 MIN LOL. BUT WHEN YOU CAME BACK WE PICKED UP FROM CHAPTER 7 SO THAT'S WHERE I'LL START. LINDA WAS FAT WITH TWO FRONT TEETH MISSING. WHEN SHE SAW LENINA (ME) SHE WAS KISSING HER AS IF THEY WERE LOVERS. LINDA WAS ONLY ACTING LIKE THAT BECAUSE SHE WAS HAPPY TO SEE SOMEONE FROM BACK HOME. LINDA WAS REAL NASTY. SHE USED HER HAND AS A HANDKERCHIEF. LINDA WAS HAVING SEX WITH ALL THE MEN THINKING IT WAS NORMAL. SHE HAD ALL THESE SEXUAL ENCOUNTERS WITH HER SON IN THE ROOM.
