Brave New World Ideas

1. Bernard tells John to explain his whole life story because he is having a hard time grappling with the idea of the Reservation.
2. It seems as if Linda sleeps with men, who forcefully only want to have sex with her. The people of the Reservation are angry especially the women because she is sleeping with all their men. John tries stopping the women from whipping his mother but when he actually tries he gets whipped too.
3. Popé brings mescal which is a type of tequila.
4. John really hates Popé because of what he thinks of his and Linda’s relationship. So through the years John hates Popé more and more. John goes to kill Popé but only stabs him like 2 times. Popé reacts oddly, calling him ‘brave’ and let’s him go.
5. One Shakespeare allusion is to “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare”. The other is to Skaespeare’s book “Hamlet”, which is only a passage from the book. Macbeth is also mentioned.
6. John felt alone because his mother was never really there to be his mother. When men would come over she would put him away because she just wanted to be with the men. also, unlike other children around him, he could read.
7. John knew that Jesus hung on a cross with his arms out and he wanted to feel that hanging in the sun.
8. Bernard tells John if he wants to go to London.
9. John reacts in a happy manner when he asks Bernard if him and Lenina are married.

Reading Me

While I'm not in school the amount of time I spend reading is slowly diminishing. When I was in elementary school, I didn't spend one moment without a book. But then high school happened and I slowly began losing interest. I then started noticing these poetry book becoming so popular. I was so interested I decided to pick one up at the store called "Milk and Honey". I loved it so much, I loved the poetry. Poetry book are the only books I will spend my time reading. Especially, if the poems are inspired from true experiences. 

These types of stories have inspired to start writing my own poetry from my own experiences. And that one day my truthful poetry can help inspire other people to share their own stories in hope of continuing that inspiration.
