Brave New World Chapter 7

1. How does Lenina feel about their appointed guide?
She does not like him because he is unclean and he smells. She is not familiar with him and is scared of him because he is extremely different from civilized people.

2. How does Lenina react to "naked Indian"(p. 110)? Does it remind you of anyone else we have studied?
She is shocked that old people can look like that because no old person she knows looks like the Indian. She is similar to Prince Siddhārtha in the way he reacted when he saw old age for the first time.

3. How does Bernard react to the pueblo of Malpais?
He is fairly calm while Lenina is disgusted by it. He gives the impression as though he has seen it before.

4. Who is Linda? What is her relationship to Tomakin?
She is the woman that the D.H.C. lost in the reservations and she had a child of his there and has lived there ever since. Tomakin is Thomas who is the D.H.C. who is the father of her child.

5. Why does Linda believe that "everything they do is mad"(p. 121)? Please be specific.
She believes this because everything the Indians do is opposite to what her society did. For example, each person is only suppose to have one other person for intercourse even though in Linda’s society everyone had everyone else.
