Brave New World Chapter 13 notes

Lenina wants to confess to John that she loves him. But Lenina doesnt find the courage to do so, until Fanni persuades her. John goes to meet Helmholtz, but it was Lenina who answers the door. Lenina and John condlfess to each other that they both love each other, but then start arguing about what is right and wrong in love. Since Lenina took half a gram of soma, she doesn't care, so she approaches John to make love. John is outraged about this, and gets violent and verbally abusive. John calls Lenina a whore. She gets scared because shes been hit, so she hides in the bathroom. John gets a call about his mother who just got moved because she is very ill. John then goes immediately.

Josue Lopez 09/28/2018 Just another day in Afghanistan   It was a nice day in Afghanistan, well not really because it was summer, and during the summer the average temperature is 120 degrees fahrenheit.The team of 15 men and 7 female American troops from the Army branch were on there way to the safe zone, they had traveled 7 miles out of the 25 miles they had to walk with 90 pounds of gear and a 25 pound body armor vest. The Belgian Malinois seemed tired, so the troops stopped to rest in a nearby village. There were many Afghans watching the troops that stopped to rest for 5 minutes. The village where the troops stopped was really dry, but at least they were covered in shade. More Afghans gathered, but they kept their distance. Some were on top of buildings. There was women too, they had full black burkas covering their whole body. They were so far that the troops couldn't see their eyes. Old cars started to appear, the troops were now on full alert.

Brave New world Chapter 8 Ideas

Linda does not see it as a sin to be having sex with the men of other women from the village. In Linda's culture, they are thought that everybody belongs to everybody. Therefore, in her mindset,she is okay, it's normal for her to do what she does. This causes outrage from the village's women because they believe in marriage. They are like Christians, believe in different gods. They follow the marriage law of the bible, in which one man and woman belong together, and neither should commit adultery, I believe that's one of the 10 commandments of the Jewish God. John sees this and gets mad, it's like the same with Hamlet, when King Claudius killed his father to be in the throne. But at the same time, Hamlet's mother became Claudius's wifey. I think Juohn realized this by hanging out with the villagers a lot, and becoming a customer to their culture of marriage. He also reads a lot of Shakespeare.
