chapter 7 BNW

Lenina and Bernard got the the Pueblo 
Indians are present 
cleanliness is next to fordliness- cleaning up is better then having things dirty 
Persevere them from diseases
Two young women giving breast to their babies - Lenina felt weird and uncomfortable 
“Bright blankets, and feathers in black hair, and the glint of turquoise, and dark skins shine with heat. Lenina put her handkerchief to her nose again”
Lenina liked the drums
Once the drums stopped life seemed to come to an end
A man was sacrificing for his god
Mescal
“Civilization is Stevilization”
“Lenina noticed with disgust that two of the front teeth were missing. And the clour of the ones that remained ... She shuddered.” -Linda
They made children all the time

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.
