A similar theme in the book Brave New World and the article “Drunk Driving: "I Drove Drunk and Killed Two Sisters" is that when they were both on something that altered their minds they woke up the next day with their whole life changed. In the book, Jonas was living at the lighthouse, and Lenina surprised him. Without thinking he started hitting her with a whip, “Like a madman, he was slashing at her with his whip of small cords.”(257). The next day when he woke up he was “stupefied by soma”(258) and then “blinking in owlish incomprehension at the light; then suddenly remembered-everything”(259). He realized everything he had done the night before while on soma. Similarly in the article, Graff remembers going to the beach and a condo for fun
