Onward

"O brave new world," he repeated. "O brave new world that has such people in it. Let's start at once." pg 139

I find it a little bit ironic that John sees The Other World, as exciting. First of all, he doesn't know the what it's like, other than what Linda has told him. I have a feeling that it is a bad idea to take John and Linda to London, mainly because of how Bernard thought Linda may be "an enormous asset." What does that mean? What is he going to do with Linda? Also...I wonder if Linda will conform back into the old ways of the Other World, since it is where she was raised.. If Bernard doesn't interfere that is. Hmm...In all, taking 'savages' out of the Reservation just is a terrible idea--I highly doubt that they will just fit in with all the conditioned robot beings in the utopia. Linda may be okay in the Other World, but John? John hasn't even been to the Other World, and he only has vague ideas of what it is like. I predict that there will be a culture shock for John, and that Linda will enjoy being back in the Other World, so she can finally have soma again. Well, time to read and see what happens when the savages leave the Reservation and travel to the brave new world !
