Read chapter 5, chapter 6, and chapter 7 of Brave New World book. Answer the following questions once you have finished reading the three chapters.
1. On Chapter 5, Huxley uses alliteration to describe Lenina’s childhood discovery of the hypnopædia devices. Examine the structure of this passage. What makes Huxley’s use of language especially effective?
2. Why is Bernard disappointed when he sleeps with Lenina on their first date? How does Lenina respond to his suggestion that it would have been better to have waited? Do you feel that this interaction is dated by the time Huxley was writing in, or still relevant today?
3. What is the Savage Reservation? Who lives there? How do they control the inhabitants and how is it different from the way people in civilization are controlled?
4. What happens in the religious ceremonies that Lenina and Bernard witness? What do you think is the purpose of the ceremony? What religions does it seem to be based on?
Huxelys makes a very good use of language since the one he whispered to when he was a child is the same one he slept with every night
He wanted to feel a kind of passion in a very crazy place where nothing made sense while she was reading the hypnopedic guide and at that moment she says that people have their own happiness because nobody has control over them and they can do anything
what the text says about the wild reserve is that in that area in which there is no type of electrical device or the same technology, they will be considered by the state as the savages and they have very strange customs that were learned from the natives Americans ZUÑI
In the religious ceremony of Lenina and Bernard is based on having black hissing snakes as essentials and a young person has to stand in the middle while being whipped and all this being whipped was a kind of sacrifice to attract rain and water the corn.
