BNW chapter 18 notes

John looks ill
“       “ said he ate civilization and that it poisoned him
The Controller didn’t let John go to the island with Helmholtz
Because the Controller wants to go on with his experiment
John still decides he wants to go
He goes to an abandon lighthouse in between Puttenham and Elstead
John prays to both Jesus and Pookong
He buys everything he think he needs and makes himself a bow and arrow to hunt
People appear at the lighthouse where John is at to tell him things
Lenina appears when she steps out of the helicopter 
After the orgy which made John feel ashamed he killed himself 
When visitors start calling out for John he does not answer 
His feet were found high up in the air and they belong to Johns dead body

Brave New World essay

People all around the world try to change their appearance and, or their personality just to “fit in” with the rest of the world. In “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley, Huxley shows us a perfect example of someone who thinks differently, but is afraid to show it to the world. The character who fits this description happens to be Bernard. Bernard is considered an outcast in the beginning, but doesn’t accept himself for what he truly is. The idea Huxley has on Bernard connects to the theme, which is that it is easier to be part of society and be part of their label, than being an individual and being considered an outcast. Bernard is a character that right from the beginning we can tell he just thinks differently and is different than the people in the World State. “He was like a man pursued, but pursued by enemies he does not wish to see, lest they should seem more hostile even than he had supposed, and he himself be made to feel guiltier and even more helplessly alone....
