So it makes you think is this society really as perfect as it appears to be? And was the past really that bad? Another topic I wanted to discuss was the whole hedonism, promiscuity value, idea this society has. As the director then talks about how they produced the perfect drug soma page 59 and sixty you have Bernard a few sentences later on turning down the perfect drug and he is described as fending it off. Then when she agrees that she should see someone else she isn’t talking about seeing multiple other people just one other person Bernard. She says on page 46 no there hasn’t been anyone else and I jolly dont see why there should have been. You have the world director saying how bad the past was and how horrible familial relations are and you have Bernard and Lenina, in a sense, saying how they want these relationships. You can talk about the slogans with partners or small groups to help each other understand and come up with ideas, but you must create your own chart for yourself.For me I think the three person conversation in chapter three was a bit of a conflict. For example, for #10, the saying tells us that people in the World State are encouraged to take the drug soma to keep themselves happy and not worried about things. In the "What it reveals about the World State" column, tell what the saying or slogan tells readers about the World State society. The person suggests taking a gramme (gram = weight measurement, like you might use in science class) of the drug called soma to help the oneself stay focused on the present day ("only am" = only am existing in the present).
For example, for #10, what it means is that worrying about the past (what was) and the future (what will happen) make a person sick. For each slogan, in the "What it means" column, tell what the saying or slogan means in everyday language.
> For today's work, you will need to RECREATE THIS CHART on your document. Name the document something like Firstname Lastname - BNW Ch.
