2. Why doesn’t Lenina like their Indian guide? she is in this new kind of place she isn’t used to, he is different.
3. What is the city itself like? What are the people like? How does Lenina respond? Bernard? unclean and dirty, like the natives of our time is suppose, she is scared not used to this feeling. Bernard is interested in the new things he is not used to
4. What ceremony do the witness? What does it mean? What does it seem like to Lenina?They see a ceremony, which is sacrificial. Has to do with honour, torture and cruelty.
5. What idols emerge from the ground?
 An eagle, Pookong
6. How is John Savage different? What does he want? How does he respond to Lenina? He has lighter skin and hair then the other Indians, he doesn’t fit in. Lenina notices this and he is shy and embarrassed.
7. What is Linda’s story? What has her life been like here? How does Linda react to her? She went to the reservation with the director a long time ago, he left without her as she was missing. She gave birth to john. She feels for herself on how her life worked out in Malpais. Lenina is disgusted for doing these terrible things she has been conditioned to do.
