Brave New World Chpt. 8

1. How would you describe John's upbringing? Why do you think he says that he is "Alone, always alone." (p. 137). How does Bernard feel about John?
John's upbringing was spartan and archaic in nature. John always thought he was alone because his community shunned him. Bernard understands how lonely John feels.

2. Why does John say at the end of the chapter, "O brave new world!" (p. 139)?
John says "O brave new world" because he is completely amazed at the ideas that Bernard expresses.
