Popé brings Linda mescal.
John doesn’t like Popé because he always removed him from the picture of his mother. Popé would kick John out of the room and into another just for his pleasure.
The allusions of Shakespeare were from Hamlet when John compares them to Linda and Pope about doing the dirties.
John wasn’t loved by his mother and he didn’t have a father to grown up with. The kids would always treat him differently.
Bernard tells John if he wants to go with them to London.
John was happy that Bernard and Lenina weren’t married.

Good Morning

In today's lecture about morning routines I learned that mostly everyone uses their phones to wake themselves up, including me. They wake up to those classic alarms sounds and a few wake up to music. 

I'm going to start waking up to music and placing my phone across the room in order for I can wake up easily and not sleep in. I will try start making breakfast more often to myself and try new recipes.I need to stop pushing that snooze button that only tells me that its fine to sleep in some more. I need to stop having a crazy morning, rushing and trying to do things on time. I will continue to wake up at the same hour I'm used to unless there is something do to then will I wake up early.

Racism in BNW

The book Brave New World has castes and categorizes people into levels. The castes that are being told as the lower castes are the Epsilons and Deltas. The Alphas are the powerful ones in the World State. In the book it makes the characters seem as if they were the racists but who is actually writing the book? Huxley. But was Huxley the racist or was he just writing the book to prove a point? Huxley did point out the Indians living in the Reservations as Savages and the World State people are civil.

Reading Me

Reading for me would be consider as reading the directions from the labeling of products, reading titles in the new feed, captions from Instagram posts, as well as memes. But actually picking up a book or reading online is something I haven't done coming from my own will. If a friend with the same tastes were to tell me about a good book they read, I might consider reading it or even searching it up. When the book is something I like and understand the basic meaning of it then will I read the book. Trying to read something that I don't understand is just reading words that you have no clue to what you just read.

BNW Chapter 7 Notes

When The Cat's Away The Mice Go To Work

I finished reading Chapters 5 and 6. Yesterday, I began reading Chapter 5 in class and took notes. I got half way and read the rest at home. Afterwards I posted the notes that corresponded with the post. When I got to class today, I started reading Chapter 6. As well as yesterday, I only got more than half way into the Chapter. At home I finished the Chapter and posted its notes. We worked in our lit circles taking turns in reading two to three paragraphs each.
Reading in class was an advantage because you can ask the lit circle to see if they understand what the paragraph is talking about or if they have a different point of view to the paragraph than what you were thinking.
The book itself talks about many topics that can be seen in the near future or the present. Some of the things Benard says to Lenina are so obvious but she doesn't want to take time to sink it in and think some more.
