Brave New World August 2, 2010 Pages 185-210

The Savage begins to resent living in the civilized world. He sees his mother die in a hospital where no one is especially bothered by death. Delta children mock him for caring about his mother. The Savage begins to change his opinions of the new civilized world. This is because he sees all the nice things of civilized life and sees that they are only being used to control the population. The Savage hates the promiscuity of civilized life. He calls Lenina a whore in a murderous rant. If I were the Savage I would also despise the ways of the new world. Orgy and sex are large parts of a normal citizens life. These actions go against all of the morals of a normal person of today. Casual sex is frowned upon today where it is encouraged in the world of tomorrow. I would mirror the actions taken by the Savage if I were put into his position.

Quote from Brave New World July 20, 2010 Page 111

"The spectacle of two young women giving breast to their babies made her blush and turn away her face. She had never seen anything so indecent in her life."-Brave New World Page 111
This quote embodies the very serious social changes wrought by the future government. Leaders ripped the right to bear children from families and essentially ripped apart the family. The government taught that having and rearing children was immoral and unorthodox. They taught these ideas to very young children in their sleep. Mothers with children were looked down upon in the "civilized world." The government believed that controlling the birthing and minds of its subjects would lead to a public that was totally submissive.

In this section of the novel, Bernard and Lenina are struck by the ways of life of the savages. Bernard and Lenina both believe that they are civilized and therefore more superior to these people. Lenina looks down her nose at these people because she believes they are unclean. Civilized people believe,"Cleanliness is next to Fordliness." The civilized people are taught this through sleep teaching, thus implanting the fear of dirt, smell, and other unclean things. Lenina is also shocked by the aging of some of the savages. Disease and old age do not exist in the civilized world. This is why Lenina is shocked and horrified by the sight of some of the older savages. The sight of a nursing mother also embarrasses Lenina. Having a raising children is considered vulgar in civilized society, but the savages cling to this custom of the old ways. The pueblo style of houses the savages live in are also foreign to civilization.
