Summary: Lenina and Bernard go to the reservation after staying in a very nice hotel that she liked. While on the tour Bernard worries that he left the cologne tap going and that it was going to cost a fortune. Lenina was on some soma and listened absently to the reservation warden talk about it. They keep talking aimlessly and Bernard is worried about the cost of the cologne. He calls Watson to ask him to shut it off, he agrees, and tells Bernard that the director is looking for his replacement. Bernard is shocked that Iceland would really happen. Lenina convinces him to take 4 soma which is more than is normal. They get in a plane and cross the border, Bernard sleeps. then when he is getting the tour he laughs at the fact that animals never learn to avoid the electric fence, even though he wouldn't normally laugh at something like that.
I think that this chapter kicks of the inciting event, because now Bernard is like "Oh imma be fired!" so everything after this will be the actions building up to the climax. We also see that while he is an individual he can't get through this without soma.
Literary Terms: Irony- on the reservation people still have children the old way, which is the way that people in our world have children, but to them this isn't normal.
fulminated (verb) explode with loud noise
inexorably (adj) unalterable
