Lenina

"Henry, Henry" (pg 258).  This is what a girl shouted as the savage was whipping and chasing her.  I think that the girl was Lenina for many reasons.  First, when people were yelling at the savage, "the girl" held out her hand to help him and tears were streaming down her face.  Also, she started yelling for Henry.  Because of this, I think that Lenina was with Henry, and she came to see the savage.  When John, the savage, was in front of everyone, it reminded me of the movie, King Kong.  He was being treated almost as if he was some kind of beast or animal.  People were basically tortoring him for their enjoyment.  They were also just watching his every move.  In King Kong, the guerrilla is captured and people just watch him on a stage, and they stare at him in amazemnt.  This is almost just like what happened to John.  Once John began to move to certain places, people became a little frantic.
