Part I
1. Why does Lenina think Bernard Marx "odd" - please use specific references from this chapter in your answer.
Lenina thinks that Bernard is "odd" due to the fact that he seems to view everyone around him as odd. The fact that Bernard wanted to talk a walk and just talk with her seemed weird to her; no one does that.
2. Please provide more lines from Lenina that she learned from hypnopedia (there are some great ones in this chapter!). Do any of them remind you of sayings that we may use - please don't use commercial jingles. i.e. "1-800-54-Giant!"
Lenina also uses more inference from hypnopedia as she says "A in time saves nine" which was drilled into her by hypnopaedia. Also "one cubic centimeter cures ten gloomy sentiments" which is also another example of hypnopaedia.
3. What is Fanny's explanation for Bernard's behavior?
Fanny's explanation for Bernard's behavoir was that it was the alcohol that "they" had put in his surrogate.
Part II
4. What did the Director tell Bernard about his own trip to the Reservation? Why did it initially make Bernard feel uncomfortable?
He tells Bernard that he had gone there to look at the "Savages" and went with the girl he was with at the time, and the girl died. Because the Director couldn't remember how long ago he had gone to hte reservation, and the fact the girl died.
5. What does the Director threaten Bernard with if he doesn't change his behavior? Why does it elate Bernard?
That he would transfer him to a Sub-Centre, mabye Iceland, if his behavior did not improve. This elated Bernard because to him, it confirmed his indviduality, his differentness.
Part III

He described it as massive, and that they do not know how many people live in the "Savage" reservation. He describes them as INdians and half-breeds, and have marriage, and religion and extimct languages, and animals and diseases.
