BNW chapter 16

John, Bernard, and Helmholtz were sent to the Controller’s study
Helmholtz seems to be in a good mood / saying jokes
John finds a book while he’s there
Mustapha appears and shakes their hand
“               “ asked John if he was against civilization
John was going to lie, however by the “good-humored intelligence of the Controller” he decided to tell the truth
Bernard was worried about what the Controller thought about him being a friend to someone who didn’t like civilization 
Both the John and Mustapha had read the same book
The Controller said that they don’t want people to be attracted to old things, but to new ones
John didn’t really understand the word “science”
The Controller believed that none of them really know what science is
The polices took Bernard away
After Bernard is away Mustapha confesses that being on the island was a good thing
He isn’t in the island anymore because he was offered a job as a World Controller
“Happiness has got to be paid for” said the Controller
