Brave New World Chapter 6

Part I
1. Why does Lenina think Bernard Marx "odd" - please use specific references from this chapter in your answer.
She thinks he is odd because he is so personal about things like sex, shown by his embarrassment when Lenina talked about their date in public. She also thinks this because he is so unsocial, shown by his unwillingness to talk to the bots in the changing room.

2. Please provide more lines from Lenina that she learned from hypnopedia (there are some great ones in this chapter!). Do any of them remind you of sayings that we may use - please don't use commercial jingles. i.e. "1-800-54-Giant!"
“A gramme in time saves nine”, “A gramme is always better than damn”, “Everyone works for everyone else”, “Thank Ford”, “Never put off till tomorrow what fun you can have today”, and “When the individual feels the community reels”. These remind me of sayings we have such as “Thank God”, “Never put off to till tomorrow what you can do today”, and “Kill two birds with one stone”.

3. What is Fanny's explanation for Bernard's behavior?
She says there was alcohol in his blood-surrogate.

Part II
4. What did the Director tell Bernard about his own trip to the Reservation? Why did it initially make Bernard feel uncomfortable?
He told him that he went with a girl she got lost one night in a storm and was never found even though he severely hurt his knee trying to look for her. This made Bernard initially uncomfortable because a man as important as the Director had done the forbidden act of thinking of the past just because his disapproval Bernard had such a strong affect on him.

5. What does the Director threaten Bernard with if he doesn't change his behavior? Why does it elate Bernard?
He threatens to have him transferred to Iceland. It make Bernard happy because he was able to have such a strong effect on the Director and he knew the threat was not legitimate.

Part III
6. How does the Warden describe the Reservation?
He explained that it was divided into different sections, that it was separated from the civilized world by a deadly electric fence, that the savages there still spoke different languages and were of mixed breeds, still married and were born into families, and that there were many wild and dangerous beasts there.
