Chapter 10 Journal Entry

1. This chapter begins in the Bloomsbury and it explains the difference rooms, then it goes into anther room where the director and Henry Foster and chit chatting. The director was tell Henry how he was going to make an example of Bernard. Henry mentioned that Bernard does his job very well, and the director went on to talk about how he is an unfit citizen outside of work and that is dangerous. When Bernard arrived, the director talked to the whole crowd about his "painful duty" and how the society was in danger. Then he pointed at Bernard and said that he has an unhealthy sex-life, he doesn't believe in the use of soma, and his behavior outside of work hours are unorthodox. So, the director said he was forced to send bernard to Ice-Land to protect society. Then the director gave his a chance to defend his honor. That is when Bernard call Linda and John into the room. Bernard pointed them in the director direction, and started babbling about how he was a father, the John went and knelt at the directors feet and saying, "My father! My Father!" Overwhelmed with humiliation, the director ran out of the room, covering his ear. 
2. This chapter is important because this is where Bernard starts to have power, which isn't a good thing. Also, this is the first time John had ever been in a society like this, and this is where John begins to change as well. Also it is the last time we see the director, which means Bernard's plan worked.
