A STEP AHEAD OF THE HOUND

1. Montag hid the remaining books in the house of a fireman.

2. Faber tells Montag how it's funny that the war seems so remote because they have their own troubles.

3. Faber gives Montag a Tv the size of a postal card.

4. The Tv was showing a new Mechanical Hound being dropped off at the site of the burning. They also tell viewers to watch out for a man running alone.

5. The Tv reports that police suggest that everyone look outside on the count of 10 because Montag can't escape so many people looking for him. But Montag is running to reach the river so he won't be caught.

RUN MONTAG RUN

I think Montag will be caught and sent to prision for his crimes. Also, the will find out that Faber was an accomplice.

THE CHASE IS ON

1. Because the Hound sensed what Montag was doing, and the Hound's jon is to kill those who disobey the rules of society.

2. He defended himself by setting the Hound on fire.

3. Montag realizes that Beatty wanted to die because he said things that made Montag mad and he didn't try to stop Montag.

4. Montag went to Professor Faber's house.

5. Montag was almost hit but a car filled with teens. But Montag fell and they swerved.

MONTAG KILLS

I think Montag turned the flamethrower on Captain Beatty because Beatty saw the earpiece in Montag's ear and said that he will trace it back to his friend. So Montag did this in order to protect Professor Faber.

Fahrenheit 451 questions 1-12

1. Maybe because some people enjoy watching or setting things on fire.

2. Because when Montag burns the book, the pages year off and "flap" away with the wind.

3. Montag does not question anything, while Clarisse questions everything.

4. Well Ray Bradbury was describing a flat screen tv which was not real back then but is now. I do not think it improves either of their lives because they do not seem to be happy.

5. He introduces us to Montag at this point in his life because it is about to change.

6. Because Mildred probably isn't that important to the story other than she's Montag's wife.

7.

8. Operators came to pump out Mildred's stomach because she overdosed.

9. The mechanical hound is a dog that punishes anyone who breaks society's rules.

10. Society considers Clarisse anti-social becaud she likes to talk and go out and do stuff, and Clarisse and Society have very different definition of what being social and anti-social is.

11. She lights the match because she is going to set herself and everything on fire.

12. They seem unhappy together, and they don't really love each other or have anything in common.

Fahrenheit 451 first impression

In the beggining Bradbury is describing a fire
Clarisse is the future and she's different from everyone

Firemen start fires now instead if putting then out but Clarisse asks him about the origin if firemen and he says houses are fire proof and they start fires.

The imagery of Gatsby and Prufrock

1. Desire. Both Gatsby and Prufrock had a desire to be with certain girls. However, they both failed and while Gatsby was almost able to be with Daisy, Prufrock could not even speak to the girl he liked.


2. Loneliness. Prufrock is lonely and so is Gatsby. Even though Gatsby throws big parties and is surrounded by people, he is lonely. While Prufrock does not speak to anyone.

3. Trapped. Gatsby and Prufrock are trapped in their dreams of wanting to be with the girl they love. Prufrock is trapped within himself because he is too timid to do anything, and Gatsby is trapped by living in the past and wanting things to be the way they used to be.

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

Throughout the poem, it had a negatived tone. Prufrock is trying to get the girl of his dreams but he is too afraid to even speak to her. He feels that he is is worthless, and is afraid to die. He wants to do a lot of things but he cannot because he is too timid. The poem does not have a happy ending and is basically telling us you are who you are, you cannot change that. I enjoyed reading the poem, in a way it was refreshing to have a story end on an unhappy one.

CAN WE WATCH THE MOVIE?

I think we should watch the movie in order to get a better understanding and compare the movie to the book.

Prufrock first impressions

The poem is very descriptive, the beggining is in Itallian, the tone of the first and second stanza is threatening.

There is a extended metaphor in the second stanza.

The narrator of the poem says that there is a lot of time including to create and murder.
