Brave New World Chapter 8

1. How would you describe John's upbringing? Why do you think that he says he is, "Alone, always alone"? How does Bernard feel about John?

He was very alone in the world. He did not have anyone to look up too and thus was learned by himself. Thus the reason why he is considered "savage." His mother didn't teach him much so he was not civilized or a pure savage. He thought he was odd be cause of the differences between the two cultures.

2. Why does John say at the end of the chapter, "O brave new world!"

It was like he was being shown the Holy Grail of hidden truths. It was the complete opposite of what his entire life has been up to that point.
