BNW read on 28 May A-4

aS I CONTINUE TO READ THE BOOK BECOMES MORE AND MORE RELIVENT TO OUR WORLD. THERE IS LIKE A BIG EMPHISIS ON CHANGE LATER ON IN THE CHAPTER. THERE IS ALWAYS GOING TO SOMEONE WHO IS SUBJECTED TO CHANGE IN THE STORY. (LENARD SCHMID)

Robynne I think that it is sad that lenonia doesnt understand what john is doing when he is respecting her. Its sad that she doesnt know how to respect her self. I think this is perfect for seniors, everything in it applys to us. All the stuations apply to us and what the world is or can be like. I think it helps us op-en are eyes up and see that we are john if we were to go to another country. For the girls...in some countrys boys/men bring the women/girls a fish when they ask them out on a date. Now we would think that is werid if they came here and brought you a fish.

Lorreine Lenina likes John but she's very confused about the way he's acting. For John, Lenina is the most beautiful and precious thing in the world, and when something is that precious to us we respect and handle it carefully. I see Lenina's society as how USA is right now. People go out without even knowing each other and even premarital sex is viewed as an "okay" thing to do. I felt more like how John felt here. I was use to the whole courting and earning you trust first before going out with someone. I was raised in a society where their virginity is the most precious thing and is saved until that one special person.

 Brandon Holder I find it really ironic that John see's Lenina as this beautiful untouched, virgin like women that is almost perfect, when he knows in the back of his mind that she's the complete opposite. The phrase love is blind comes to mind. It's really hard to see someones defects if you obsess over ever thing you like about them. The opposite is also true as I've come to learn. If you believe and focus on the negative aspects of a person that's all you will see and you mind won't be changed.

Vanya Liapin I respect John! He did not let his insticts to take over when Lenina was brisan enough to strip infront of him when he just wanted the pure love. Sex is part of it but it doesnt come first, it is the agreement between both of the partners when their relationship is truly secure. When some one jumps on u that quick than the just want to use u. I believe people with John's personality will go far. Not only because they will refuse to do anything with sluts but also because his charecter is very strong. He does not bend to others he makes them to bend and in some degree that is very good. Dictators are not good at all but when a man is assertive enough about his decision that he will do something in life...

Samantha Kruta So i totally love the way John treats Lenina. He repsects her enough to not do anything with her, when she strips in front of him.I believe all guys should act the way john does with treating girls. I believe they should repsect a girl enough not to want to do anything with her like that untill there relationship is to the point of LOVE.I think that there should be more guys like him in our world today because if he was here he would go really far with some girls. i know there are girls out there just like Lenina but they need to realize that they need to change.

i agree with lenard that as we keep reading this book it becomes more and more like our society/world today. John tried to stop these two delta twins from taking soma. John describes it to them as a poison that enslaves. That is true today...people take drugs to get away from sorrow or depression...trying to scape from reality but in reality they are enslaved. They are no longer in control of themselves but the drugs or "soma" is the one that is controlling them.

Morgan this book is wierd. the whole respect thing... yea, like that would happen. the only guys who would turn lenina down if she were standing infront of them naked would be a gay man. i mean that's sweet and all. but how can he still not know that the entire society has brainwashed to have sexual relations all the time? he's so nieve.
