So basically to sum up chapters 7-10 Lenina and Bernard go to the savage reservation and get a different view on life. At first Lenina was in disgust of how old the people were with their dark hair and skin. She was in shock at the fact that they were all "mothers" and only shared one person for the rest of their lives. This would all seem so ordinary to us, but in Brave New World it is taboo. Bernard puts two-and-two together and realizes that Linda was the D.H.C's lover that he lost a long time ago. She had a son, John, that was an outcast of the tribe because of their light skin and hair. When John meets Bernard and Lenina he starts to grow fond of them, especially Lenina. Bernard offers to take John back to London with them, and maybe Linda too. Bernard was allowed to take them back with and and just as the Director was about to fire Bernard and make him transfer to Iceland, he brings Linda in the room and everyone was is awe. The Director asked if "..this was a monstrous practical joke" when Linda was asking him if she remembered exactly who she was. John stepped into the room and got on his knees and in front of everyone shrieked "my father" Laughter broke out among the crowd and the director ran out with his hands covering his ears trying to ignore the Ford awful sounds of the word "father"
And that concludes chapters 7-10.
