From the past things i have said for how the world in the book was very weird, from babies getting cloned to being tortured by sounds, and then doing erotic plays unlike reality the real world. Unlike others their are people like Bernard who find this all weird and sort-of opposed of all of this since he wants to be different. So he doesn't become a normal standard of a normal human, but takes steps in a different way. Then with Lenina like all other normal people (excluding Bernard) does the same thing, but Bernard just doesn't like them, when Bernard does something he likes, Lenina doesn't like it. When they take an plane they hear the captain (or speaker) talking about the Indians who do uncivil things like having marriage, while preaching Christianity, and talking in dead language like Spanish and Zuni, have families. Even thought they say these things, these are what in the real world or reality happen to have. One reason why things look a bit weird would be the part was at when one of the men wanted to be WHIPPED. Which in this case would be a normal if it wasn't for the fact that the guy wanted to be whipped, cause in the Indians or in some religion, these guys thought that by getting whipped, they would have Jesus, or whatever person they believed in would let it rain allowing them to grow corn which in general in is normal, but the guy wanted to be whipped.
