The World State citizens in Brave New World live in a world that is very clean. There is no dirt and everyone smells good. In this world no one has families, the babies are manufactured. The people can be with whoever they want and can be with different people every night. The people on the reservation however live in dirty run down houses. The people here barely ever bath and they wear old torn clothing if they wear clothing at all. The people here, unlike those in the World State, marry and have families. Everyone lives in a village and is almost like one large group. These are two clearly different worlds and when they come together people are very confused and sometimes even disgusted by how the others live.
Bernard, from the World State, at first views the reservation as a dirty place and isn't extremely excited to see it. But then as he is there longer he finds that some things are pretty interesting. He meets John and finds out that him and John have several things in common. They are both seen as outsiders, John because he is white and not a "savage" and Bernard because he is just different than everyone else. They are both also very lonely.
John lives on the reservation and is not very well liked there. The people hate his mother. When his mother talks about the World State and Bernard tells him that he might be able to visit he gets very excited. He has always wanted to visit this place. When he gets there he finds that it is very strange. He doesn't really like their customs.
The government of the World State doesn't really tell the people about the reservations. That makes the government accountable for all the fuss and confusion that comes up when John and Linda come to London.
