Chapter 9 Journal Entry

1. When they got back to the pueblo, Lenina was so stressed from her encounter with Linda, that she treated herself to six half-gramme tablets of soma, and she would be out for another eighteen hours. But Bernard just couldn't go to sleep and so he thought up a plan with John and Linda for the director. At ten the next morning, the helicopter had arrived to pick up Lenina and Bernard. Bernard told the the pilot that Lenina was on holiday an they would return after Bernard had done some business to pick her up. So while he was gone, Bernard went to Mustapha Mond to see if he could take Linda and John back for scientific research. Mond approved Bernard project. Meanwhile, back at the reservation, John went to Bernard and Lenina's pueblo to see if they were still there. When we arrived, he was yelling for Bernard, but there was no answer. He tried to open the door, but it was locked. He was sure they were gone until he saw a suitcase with the initials L.C. on them. Filled with joy, he broke into the house, and started going through all of Lenina’s things. He would take her clothing and sniff them and fill with more and more joy. When he realized that Lenina was actually there, he crammed all of her stuff back into the suitcase, quietly open the door, and found himself looking across the landing at another door, but this one was open. He gently opened it and saw Lenina on her holiday. He wanted to just touch her, then he thought that all it would take to see her naked was to take hold of the zipper on her neck and give  long pull. He pulled away and herd the helicopter coming and saw Bernard walk out of it. 
2. This chapter is important because it shows that John loves Lenina and that he is a very curious person. For example he snuck into the pueblo to snoop thew Lenina's suitcase, and then when he actually saw her, he thought she was so beautiful that it brought him to tears. It also shows that Bernard's plan is falling into play.
