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

Response to “Dream Within a Dream”

What I understand from the poem “Dream Within a Dream” is that it seems hard to understand what is a dream and what it real life. It is also really hard to remember what your dream was about even after you just woke up. No matter how had you try to remember it the less you seem to know what you were dreaming about and even the most basic details about it. The author also want to show how he would like to hold on to them for a long period of time so he can remember at least the good things in life, even if that comes from just a dream.

Brave New World Theme

From reading the book Brave New World the theme for me is loneliness. In the beginning we are introduced to Bernard, when we meet him he feels like he doesn’t fit in. He seems to be different from others and thinks differently than the people from the World State. People in the World State take soma and do sexual things in order to please themselves and others because they feel empty inside. John also feels out of place when he arrives to the World State that he wants to leave to the island.

I am GSD

As an independent learner I believe that it makes me understand a topic more. I can take as much time I want on a specific topic, without anyone telling me to rush my learning process. I feel like I can gather important information when I do my own research. When I become a independent learner it feels like it makes me more motivated and responsible as a person. It motivates me because I know what I need to improve on and I find ways to get better. It also makes me responsible because I know what I need to understand and how to increase my learning in anyway.
