In the text Bernard tells Lenina that the people here at Malpais is not civilized. Bernard said “But these people have never heard of Our Ford, and they aren’t civilized. The true reason Lenina does not like this place Pueblo of Malpais is because it is described as being not civilized, and has dirty conditions. “I don’t like it.” Basically there was a tour guide person showing Bernard and Lenina around the Pueblo of Malpais and as they are being toured around, they see how the people there live compare to the way they normal live in the World State. Lenina really don’t like this place because she begs Bernard to leave and in the text it says “Lets go away,”she begged. She probably thinks that seeing this scene is bad for her eyes and is not opened to keep looking so she looks away. Lenina don’t know what it is to have a mother or to be one. She is not used to seeing that because the World State don’t allow that, humans are produced by machine and it raised without a mother. Another thing she didn’t like at Malpais was a woman breast feeding her baby. I am sure the poor conditions on this civilization contributed to the way the old guy looked in Lenina eyes because they aren’t as evolved as the World State where they have technology to make people more healthier looking and also a clean environment. The emphasize on how old the guy Lenina saw was incredibly old. After seeing how old the Indian guy was she reached into her pocket for soma but she didn’t have it so I am sure she was even more upset about that. I think Lenina was really disgust by how the old indian man was compare to the old people in the World State. Lenina said this in the text ” We ought not to have come here.” She wanted to leave and probably go back to the World State. In the World State things are perfect and people are old but not as old they are in Malpais. She didn’t like the place because it seem so different from things she seen in the World State. To prove that there is a part in chapter 7 where her and Bernard was on the mountain in Malpais. Almost every time the story talks about soma being taken it is swallowed by Lenina.
It is clear now that Lenina takes soma to make her feel better when things are going bad at the moment.
