Brave New World

Father. My own father doesn't want to recognize me as his son. I heard from Bernard that he resigned his position as the DHC. Am I such an embarrassment to him to resign like that. After that, I didn't hear any news about him at all. Bernard had happiness painted all over his face. The people from this world were amazed at me. A savage in the Brave New World. People finally get to see what a savage looks like. Bernard looks like he is enjoying his fame as well. Linda on the other hand, spends her days in a "soma holiday." No one wants to see my mother. I don't know why.

They showed me where this society comes form. It sickens me. Everyone looks the same. No one is different.  “O brave new world that has such people in it.” I refuse to take this drug called Soma. It just doesn't feel right. Many people take it. My mother takes it constantly. After watching the effect on Linda, I don't want to get involved with it. I visited Eton the other day. The "Alpha" children were watching one of our rituals on film. One of the sacrifices we do. They laughed. They laughed and laughed and laughed. Why? Why is it so humorous? Are we that strange to them? I didn't like their humor at all.

Lenina took me to see one of these things called "feelys." It was a strange experience. It was called Three Weeks In A Helicopter. It plot revolves around a darked-skinned man who kidnaps a blond woman for his on enjoyment. It was uncomfortable. But, it made me feel this passion towards Lenina. A passion so deep, it made me feel so overwhelmed. I cant do this. I cant. She wanted to have sex with me, but, I refused. I cant do this. I locked myself up in my room and read Othello. All this mixed emotions were too much for me. Too much. I'm sorry Lenina.
