brave new world chapter 7

1. How does Lenina feel about their appointed guide? Lenina does not like the indian guy because he smells.

2. How does Lenina react to "naked Indian"(p. 110)? Does it remind you of anyone else we have studied? lenina was frightened by the man because he was old, and had not taken any preventative measures on his age. this is similar to our study of Buddhism because prince Siddhartha too had never seen "old." but was not as shocked and appalled, but rather was intrigued by what he saw.

3. How does Bernard react to the pueblo of Malpais?

4. Who is Linda? What is her relationship to Tomakin? Linda was the woman that the director lost when he had visited the reservation twenty years before. linda's description of Tomakin is that of the director, Thomas

5. Why does Linda believe that "everything they do is mad"(p. 121)? Please be specific. linda believes that what the savages do is mad because it is nothing like the life she sees as normal. the indians, instead of getting new cloths when one piece has been riped or torn, they mend them anew.
