Mari’s ideas

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. 

What causes sleep paralysis? I used the internet as my resource to help me understand my big question. What I learned from researching my questions was one of the main causes that cause sleep paralysis which is rapid eye movements, this causes a person to dream vivid dreams while their muscles are turned off. If the person wakes up before the dream is over their body's is still numb and unable to move. This connects to the story Brave New World because people take soma to numb their pain. I will do more research to find out whether this is the only cause of sleep paralysis, or are there more reasons on why people can get sleeping paralysis.

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

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...

The attention giving to the Savage was forgotten and focused on the black cash-box “Linda has been a slave” The Savage believed that what people were taking was poison (soma) "I come to bring you freedom," said the Savage, turning back towards the twins.“ The Savage was tell people from the hospital if the wanted freedom, but they didn’t answer him He wanted to teach those people if they wanted freedom or not Bernard did not know where the Savage had gone Helmholtz didn’t know either, until he receive a call from the hospital John was yelling at the Deltas He dumped the soma through the window and Bernard believed he was mad Bernard gets shot  All the Deltas calmed down and went home One of the police tells Bernard to go with him, since he is a friend of the “prisoner”
