Book Club of One

On behalf of my reading and learning I think that it helps me a lot to talk about the reading with other people also interested in the book. When they know what I’m talking about I feel more confident because we understood what the book or chapter meant to say or show us. When people have no idea of what I am talking about I feel more unsure about what I think I read which can be right or wrong.

Endgame

What I want to learn or get better in this course from now till June is the chance to get more involved in my blogs. Although I do post most of my blogs I want to get used to posting everyday in order to stay on track with the class schedule. I also feel that I need to improve more on my reading because I feel that when I read with the class I don’t focus as much as I do when reading on my own.

BNW Chapter 8 Ideas

1. Bernard asks John to explain his whole life story because Bernard isn’t so sure about the reality of the reservation.
2. Linda’s relationship with men is that she sleeps with all of them at the same time. The effect that it has on the people of the reservation is that people from the World state see how people from the reservation don’t know how to act. John come to learn about it read the book about the embryos.
3.Popé takes Linda some mezcal which is like tequila.
4.John hates Popé. He reacts to his feelings by comparing Popé to a character of a story. John had stab Popé and Popé had reacted by just telling John that he is brave and whacks him away.
5. Shakespeare’s allusion in this chapter is relatable to how John lives his life and sees everything.
6.What caused John to feel alone is being left alone by his mom and the lack of love from her and also not allow to take part of a ritual.
7.John wanted to know how it felt to be curcified to be able to seat with his problems.
8. The idea that Benard proposes to John is to go with him to World State.
9. John felt relief to hear that Benard isn’t married to Lenina.
