IGNITE TALK

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.

BNW chapter 8 ideas

1. Bernard asked John to explain “everything”  about his life since the beginning 2. Since Linda comes from the World State she is used to being in multiple relationships with many men all in one time. The effect that this issue brings to the Reservation is that people that are from the Reservation don’t live their life’s the same way as in the World State, they actually respect people’s relationship. John learns all about this when he is able to read. 3. Popé brings Linda mescal. 4. John hates Popé. John stabs Popé when he was sleeping with Linda. Popé just laughs and tells him to leave. 5. Shakespeare allusion in this chapter comes from the “The Complete World of William Shakespeare”  John enjoyed reading it because he feels like it describes the way his life is / feels.
