Brave New World Chapter 7

1. How does Lenina feel about their appointed guide?
She did not like their guide and feels that he is hostile, and he smells.
2. How does Lenina react to "naked Indian"(p. 110)? Does it remind you of anyone else we have studied?
She reacts in shock; she had never seen a man so old; it disqusts her.
3. How does Bernard react to the pueblo of Malpais?
He is also repulsed, but tries to seem strong and unorthodox by taking it all in stride.
4. Who is Linda? What is her relationship to Tomakin?
Linda is Tomakin's mother, and she is from the "other place."
5. Why does Linda believe that "everything they do is mad"(p. 121)? Please be specific.
Because everything they do is so completely different from what she sees as normal, and they seem completely differenet to her. The fact that someone could "want" to be whipped, or the fact that the mothers nurse the children or the fact that there are mothers at all contribute to her view that they are all mad.
