Brave New World Chapter 3

-The chapter starts with the director and the students watching young children erotically playing on the field
-One girl comes up to the director and tells him that one of the boys would not "play" with her, like sexually playing is such a normal thing...
-The director tells the girl that he will deal with him and possibly send him to a psychologist and tells her to go find another boy to play with. Again, how normal....
-The Controller Mustapha Mond (fordship) appears (the leader of this futuristic government)
-The narrative suddenly switches to Lenina and Foster
-Mond describes that "homes" are not good, piercing the idea into the students mind because they didn't even know what homes were in the first place
-Lenina goes into the locker rooms where she is going to shower and talks to Fanny
-Lenina is apparently pretty popular, Fanny thinks it's odd that Lenina doesn't sleep with many guys abd goes back to Henry all the time
-Lenine brushes it off and states she might try out Bernard, and Fanny disagrees but again, Lenina kind of brushes it off
-Mond is describing the world before the World State, how people were unstable from emotions, disease, and more. When the caste system, hypnopaedia, and artificial birthing introduced, it was fought against, but then won. They decided to make the new era around the birth of the Model T
-Soma is their version of drugs
