Ignite talk

My topic is about religion. I know not so many people talk about this can be a sensitive topic because some people do get offended. I say this because when I was a little girl in elementary and my classmates would talk about what they would do in church and sometimes they would ask me what I do. I was raised in church and my parents taught me that there is only one God which is our savior and creator of the earth. I am Christian so yes I do different things than other religion, but when I would explain to my classmates what I do in my church they would start getting mad at me just because I wouldn't do what they do. I have always been really involved in church since I was a little girl, but at first I dint really understand much about God and other things. Once I did understand things I thought everyone believed in God, but that's not true. I would have classmates that are atheist and would tell me that they dont belive in God. I was shocked or surprised when they would tell me...

Brave New World Ch. 18 Notes

In this last chapter it talked about how John makes himself look crude, but brilliant for his claim why he is unhappy. Benard and Halmholtz were going to be sent to the island, but the controller canceled it because he wanted to continue with some experiment. The savage also sets himself to hermit in an aboned air lighthouse used for helicopters. He was discovering when he accedintly got whipped by one of the propellers. Then the reporters faked or lied about everything. John is also pushing himself in a sexual way to Lenina. He also hits her as well as himself. Then the next day John wakes up hating himself and wanting to kill himself. Once the new crowd comes they found out that he did kill himself. John killed himself because he couldn't support the savage or the utopia life. So, he decided to find the third way which was suicide. 

Brave New World Ch. 17 Notes

Benard and Halmholtz still have to deal with John. John also insist that world paid a high prize for happiness by giving up  science and art. John sees everything normal that people believe in God. John has suffered of him escaping of civilized community. He was in the Indian reservation which he was treated equally. John sees that God is the one who gives consequences or rewards. The savage rejects the idea of pain, fear, and illness.

Brave New World Ch. 16 Notes

In chapter 16 in what I read was John was wandering around the office to examining Mustapha's things. John then finds a book called "My Life and Work". Mustapha talks to John about him not being a civilization. John says that alphas has to fo this work they would because more rebel and mad. John never understood what is science.

Brave New World Ch. 15

John leaves Linda deathbed and takes soma. John wants to do a challenge which is to leave soma. John explains to the deltas that soma is a poison and that the drug can be "freedom". John is still a savage that thinks that anyone can be free. Benard and helmoltez notice that John is going crazy because of the death.  They need to save John from the Deltas just stolen the soma which he did not like that. Even though the police comes and calls order on the new world no one follows the rules. All three of them get arrested. Benard is trying to escape and just trying to get consequences.

My Big Question Research

My Question: Why do some people think God does not exsist? https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/blog/how-to-prove-that-god-doesnt-exist/ https://www.reasonablefaith.org/writings/popular-writings/existence-nature-of-god/does-god-exist/ In his website I was shocked by what it says. How they don't believe in God and try to come up with facts that God does not exsist. I mean us as Christians we do that too we try to convince people that he exists. It's just so different how people think. I dont want to judge, but where do they get the info. I get the info by the bible. I was raised going to church so I know what I believe in. That's just what I think about it. Its not only atheist that think that. I mean other religion has a god, but does not think how I think. Many people are sometimes confused because they dont know what to belive in. Many people are raised in one religion, but once they are older they know what they want to be. I just googled "How to prove how God...

Brave New World Ch. 14

In this chapter runs into love to death. John goes to the hospital that his mom is taken from taking so much soma. Many delta children think that death is a natrual process. Linda dies and John blastes tears. The nurses had to give him chocolate to make him calm down since he should think that it is a happy and natrual event.

Brave New World Ch.13

Lenina was upset because she couldn't have sex with John. At first they were in his apartment and John told Lenina that he wanted to prove something to her since she is really worth for. John wants to marry her. Lenina understands that John loves her so she rips of her clothes and wanting to do love. John gets so mad at her and calls her where and does not want to see her ever again. He thinks or says that sex is a vulgar.

Brave New World Ch. 12 notes

Bernard invites guest to meet the savage, but John refuses to get out the room.  The people start to feel contempt for Benard because he pretended to like John. Benard now goes back to how he was which he is a victim of the system. John likes Benard that way since he is not showing off. Helmholtz is a friend from John. He does not like Benard because he brings a Shakespearean metaphor, but he can't say much since he comes from Utopia too.

Book Club of One

Whenever we read I usually get confused, bit when we have the talks of asking questions and Dr. Preston answering them that's really helpful to me. I get a better understanding of what in the world is going on. That's my opinion about this.

Brave New World Ch. 11

Now Benard took over he is like a celebrity. It brings back how Benard and John are different from their experience of factory life and natural life. Also Lenina is attracted to John which he ignores her now. Benard is now like a celebrity which he is receiving all the attention. John does not like what he sees he is still the same person, but still he likes Lenina, but he does not know what to do since he cant get her attention. 

Endgame

What I want learn and get good at so far from between now and June is that I want to read more interesting books. I actually like how we read in class and then when Dr. Preston is explaining. I am looking forward on finishing this book and read something interesting. I also want to find answers or just different opinions about my big question. My question was Why do people think that good does not exist? That's something I am really curious about.

Brave New World Ch. 10

In this chapter it starts in London which means John and Linda are there with Benard. The director was going to make an announcement abouts Benard that he moved to Iceland for his punishment of his sex life. So far the director knows that Benards emotional sons are greater because of the way he thinks. The director does not know what is going to happen which is going to bring memories from his past. Once Benard got the attention of the workers he called Linda up and the director just looked at her in a disgusted way as well as she did to him. Then, Linda told him that "he made her have a baby." When she said that it caused everyone to be horrified. Then John enters and tells the director "father". The director is horrified which that was the goal of Benard. People would also make fun of him by making jokes of Benard.

Brave New World Ch. 9 Notes

Lenina is disgusted about the reservation which causes her to take soma for 18 hours. Benard is now in Santa Fe to call Mond. Mond agrees that Linda and John are matter of the scientific interest in the world state. Mond tells Benard to go to the Warden of the reservation to release John and Linda into his care. John breaks through the cabin while Lenina is still in soma. John wanted to touch Lenina, but he was scared that it would defile her. As he is walking toward her Benard's helicopter was getting near John had ran away from them to hide his trespass.
