Brave New World Chapter 4 (Blog 4)

Summary- Part 1 Lenina hops in the elevator and talks to Bernard about their trip to New Mexico. Bernard becomes embarrassed about her talking about their plans. He is not a normal Alpha and becomes shy. She thinks he is being funny when their conversation is interrupted by a Epsilon manning the elevator announcing they are at the roof. Bernard dislikes obstacle golf, and Lenina suggests it is a perfect day to play it. She runs off to jump in Henry's helicopter. They fly over London, and she remarks she is glad she isn't a Gamma trying to get on a crowded monorail. They end up playing golf.

Part 2 - Bernard mentally recalls the events that just transpired between himself, Benito, and Lenina. He was miffed with them even though they are acting like they are suppose to in their society. He then makes his way to his helicopter and tells the Deltas to wheel it outside. He is the same height as the Deltas and has issues with himself not being as tall as other Alphas so he ends up having to yell at the Deltas to move it. He visits his friend, Helmholtz, who is a standard Alpha. He is an outsider like Bernard not physically but mentally. Bernard has a mental break down thinking that people are suspecting him of something.

Vocab.- None
