Summary- The students and the director were visiting the playground when Mond who is one of the ten controllers shows up, and he invites them to a "history lesson." He teaches them the history of why the society has developed. He begins with "history is bunk" and then goes into the events that have been lost over time. While this conversation is going on, other scenes are happening such as the discussion between Lenina and Fanny. Fanny is telling Lenina that she needs to go out with other people besides Mr. Foster. She decided to go out with Benard Marx because he is a nice person and had asked her to go to a Savage Reservation. She also thinks he is sweet because he is shy around her, which makes her feel like she a world controller. He appears to be an outsider and doesn't like Soma.
Vocab.- none
Importance- The ten controllers have power over everyone else because they have access to the history of the entire planet.
Lit. Elements- History is Bunk - it means that people had to live in the present not the past.
