Brave New World (Ch.4-5)

Throughout these two chapters we learn something about the author's writing style. He very much enjoys using puns, especially ones that are sexual oriented. They are mostly easy to spot and are somewhat uncomfortable to read about, but it gets the reader to really understand the time the author writes about. Also in these chapters we see what a date is like between Lenina and Henry. It started with a helicopter ride and then went straight to dancing to the music stylings of the 'sexophones'. It ended with them in his apartment clearly hinting at what would happen next. Also we see Bernard participating in what seems like a sort of sex/happiness orgy. However he didn't get the feelings everybody else did. This goes to show that he is very different from the other people that surround him in this world. A recurring item are 'soma' tablets and I believe these are what help endive their happiness.
