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.

Gatsby Chapter 3 Remix!

Most of Chapter 3 took place at Gatsby's party. Gatsby was a host that didn't really show himself much at his parties. Nick wanted to meet and when he met him he was suprised because he did not expect him look the way he did. Gatsby was in his 30s and turns out that he had actually already met Nick. The way Nick described Gatsby was unlike any other character in the book and Nick made Gatsby one of a kind.
——————————————
This chapter reminds me of most parties that i go to because they are not like the parties that Gatsby throws. When i go to a party we usually get greeted by the person who is throwing the party. And they usually are seen a lot throughout the party.
When i read how Nick described Gatsby it reminded me of the first time i saw my son. He was unlike anyone I've seen before. Yes he looked weird because he was 2 seconds old but it was just an amazing feeling and he was one of a kind.

Gatsby Notes 3

Nicks meets Gatsby at the party.
Gatsby isn't like all the other characters that Nick has described in the story.
Prehensible- capable of grasping
Eluded- evade or escape from
Fraternal- of or like a brother or brothers
