Run Montag Run!!!

I think that by the end of the book Montag is going to die. The only thing he really had left from his life is 4 books. I don't believe he will stay alive and even if he did he is a fugitive with one leg. He cant get very far. By the end of the book I predict that Montag will be either dead or in jail.

The Chase is On!!

1. The hound attacked Montag because he just killed Beatty.
2. Montag defended himself from the hound by turning the flamethrower on it too. He killed it but it managed to bite him in the leg.
3. Montag realized that Beatty had a death wish
4. Montag went to get the books that he hid in the garden and that Mildred missed.
5. Montag almost got run over by kids who were driving when he crossed the street.

Montag Kills!!!

I believe that Montag turned the flamethrower on Beatty for a few different reasons. First was because montag thought that beatty would be a good friend and in a way he wasn't because he didnt help montag deal with his problem. Another reason is because of the way he was talking to him. Beatty was being jerk and with all the stress montag has had throughout the whole book it was probably a sense of relief for him. The last reason is because Montag's life is slowly falling apart. His wife gave him up and left him and he has no one left to talk to. A man is capable of bad things if he loses everything and has nothing to live for.

15 Questions F451

1. I think bradbury started the novel this way to show readers how different Montag's society is to ours. It is more pleasurable for them to burn books for them because they have no more use to them.
2. In the opening scene, books are compared to birds because they can both guve people thoughts and give ideas.
3. Montag's life is different from Clarisse's because montag feels alone and like his life is boring while clarisse lives in a loud house full of laughter.

F451 Guiding Questions Ch 1

1) Montag lives in a very different society than ours. He burns books for a living so you can predict that technology has taken over mostly everything in his world. I guess its similiar to our society by the things that there are but the difference is that they work in completely different ways. For example firefighters, in our society they put out fires but in Montag's they start them. Like what i said about technology that is a sign that Montag's society is a dystopia.
2) Clarisse can be seen as special in different ways. I find her special because of the questions she asks Montag. She is different from most people because unlike them she wants to know about the past. But she will most likely not find out because of the people like Montag.
3) i think that the mechanical hound is programmed to follow montag so no one else can tell it what to do.

WHAT I SEE IN LITERATURE

Both Gastby and Prufrock showed a lot if imagery. A lot of things that had so much meaning. After reviewing both writings we found some similarities that explained the theme for both of them. The green light and the yellow mist had some similarities. It shows how the characters are chasing something but never reach it and the gives readers a better understanding. Both stories also show that the characters dont know if they should tell another person their feelings. It helps us understand where the character is at in themselves and how much they want something. This can help us understand the character itself more. The stories also show 2 sides of how people live one being rich and the other poor. Knowing this gives us more knowledge of why the characters act the way they do. That helps readers understand more about the theme and why it was put that way.

First Impression of Prufrock

This poem is something unique. He describes his love in a way that I haven't seen too many times.
