1- Why is it important for Lenina to publicly prove her unfaithfulness to Henry?

The unfaithfulness to Lenina is note very important in the book, because in the book that was normal,all the people have por than one couple, so we can say that in that world de unfaithflness doesn't exist

                                                                                                
2- Is it natural to be in a couple and raise a family in the Brave new World? Why/why not?

It's not natural, because the social rules at that time say that this is not correct, In the contra part they thought that the human being should have many couples and that should not be enslaved by way of a only couple. This is reflected in the chapter 3 page 35: "Their world (the past) didn't allow them to take things easily, didn't allow them to be sane, virtuous, happy." That is why this question is totally related to the unfaithfulness of the world of brave new world in which it is assumed that someone can be happy only if it is free to be with anyone, in wherever they want and however they want.



3- What is the meaning of "pneumatic" when it is used to describe Lenina?

This description can be metaphorical. It seems that he wants to mean that she's busty, curvy, and all-around sexy
.

its a designer drug with no side effects can cure feelings of sadness and who use every time they want a vacation or experience negative emotions and want to escape reality and is shown according to chapter 4 page 52: "you do look glum! What do you need is a gramme of soma. Diving into his right-hand trouser-pocket.Benito produced a phial. One cubic centimeter cures ten gloomy ... but, I say



5- Was Bernard a tall or a short man? How did this affect his job? Please justify your answer by quoting from chapter 5.

Bernard was a short man. In his job he was affected because he feel "looked" by the society because was different that the others. The mockery make that Bernard feel like a outsider because his shorter than the others.

What is science


Science Definition


The word science comes from the Latin "scientia," meaning knowledge.

How do we define science? According to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, the definition of science is "knowledge attained through study or practice," or "knowledge covering general truths of the operation of general laws, esp. as obtained and tested through scientific method [and] concerned with the physical world."
What does that really mean? Science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge. This system uses observation and experimentation to describe and explain natural phenomena. The term science also refers to the organized body of knowledge people have gained using that system. Less formally, the word science often describes any systematic field of study or the knowledge gained from it.
