A STEP AHEAD OF THE HOUND 1.) Montag he hid the books at Mrs.Black's home and phoned the alarm to come a search/burn the house containing the books. 2.) Faber describes the war as funny since Montag and himself are having their own troubles and now war that just began is portrayed funny for Faber. 3.) is the TV a personal sized tv by any chance ? It's described as something they want that isn't big so I'm assuming it's a small-sized tv ? I could be wrong if I didn't portray it correctl, as well as notifying them with emergence. 4.) It was his name and describptions of how he might look and to be aware she's a man running with one leg. ( lol ) 5.) Montag was running for the river so none of the houses, while opening their doors can see him pass by, as well as getting his odors off his body so the hound won't be able to find him.
THE CHASE IS ON 1.) The hound attacked Montag because he just killed Beatty along with the other firemen. 2.) Montag defended himself by stabbing it with a needle and watched it pop up and die infront of him. 3.) He realized that Beatty wanted to die,even though he had the chance to save himself, but chose not too. 4.) Montag ran off to Faber's home. 5.) When he crossed the street he feel onto his face and knees because he heard the speeding of a car and knew it was the police coming after him but he was able to not get seen by them.
Fahrenheit 451 Questions pt. 2: 1. In the scene where Mildred and Montag read books together, what are their separate reactions? 2. What is the effect throughout sections I and II, of the bombers flying over? 3. Who is Professor Faber? 4. Montag’s reaction to the commercial on the subway is a turning point in his life. How does he react and why? 5. What argument does Faber make for books? 6. What is the “small green metal object”? 7. What does the White Clown show lead you to believe about television programming in this society? 8. Why does Mrs. Phelps cry when Montag reads “Dover Beach”? 9. What is Montag’s destination at the end of section II? Why? Answers: 1.)  Montag is quite interested and excited to be feeling and able to read what he thinks is something useful. While, Mildred on the other hand is like whatever this is nonsense we don't need this. 2.)  I think the effect about the bombers flying over is quite more alarming towards the people tha
Fahrenheit 451: Questions 1.The novel Fahrenheit 451 begins : “It was a pleasure to burn.” Why does Ray Bradbury start the novel in this way? Why might it be more pleasurable to burn books rather than read them? 2. In the opening scene, why are the books compared to birds? 3. Discuss the difference between Montag and Clarisse’s lives. 4. Montag’s television includes headphones called “seashells.”  The “wall to wall circuit” allows Mildred to enter the “play” and, therefore, the television programming. How does the technology within the novel compare to our current technology? In the first pages of the novel,does technology improve the quality of life for Montag and his wife, Mildred? Why or why not? 5. Why does the narrator introduce us to Montag at this time of his life, when he encounters Clarisse and confronts Mildred’s overdose? 6. Why does the author introduce the character of Clarisse before Mildred? 7. Why are all the houses fireproof in this society? 8.
NOTES ON FARENHEIT 451 (pgs.7-23) * We know Montage met Clarisse McClellan and might be attracted to her? * Montage's wife might have problems b/c she just overdosed herself (crazzzy) * They do NOT love each other, Montage and his wife * Montage is NOT HAPPY * As well as he does not love his mate which he hides and tries to say it wasn't true but Clarisse knows he does not love her by his attitude and his actions he makes *
COLLEGE FAIR WOWZERZZZ I can not believe were months away from becoming seniors, which saddens me a lot. I learned that I am going to turn into a young adult and I will take my own decisions as well as what I want to do with my education and what colleges/ universities I want to attend. It is very scary. Other than that I feel that we all have to go through this and accept that we are getting old and as we are growing we are learning every day which is amusing to me that we are the next generation to fix our world or what awaits for this generation I should say. WELL, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS OR IDEAS OF US, AS TEENS GROWING UP AND GOING OFF TO COLLEGE? HOW DO YOU FEEL ?
 ( I decided I did not want to do a short story so I decided to do a poem #rebel :p )          TOIL The hot summer days. Where they worked for days, Nothing incomparable -to those summer days From dawn to dusk A lifecycle, Of those summer days Kinking every hour, Pulling every minute, Sweating every second, Of those summer days. Why, not wonder why they are here ? Is it destiny? Or is it an obligation? Of those summer days.                                    - Leydi Rios *** Modernism*** by reflecting on the early 19th-21st century and quick hint if you don't understand my poem think about the TITLE I chose as well as any literary devices I use and my use of diction.
WHAT I SEE IN LITERATURE "And indeed there will be time  For the yellow smoke that slides along the street,  Rubbing its back upon the window-panes;  There will be time, there will be time  To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;  There will be time to murder and create,  And time for all the works and days of hands  That lift and drop a question on your plate;  Time for you and time for me,  And time yet for a hundred indecisions,  And for a hundred visions and revisions,  Before the taking of a toast and tea. "   * This part from Prufrock show many things about the ideas of imagery for example the repetition of "there will be time"  is a sense of the subject's flux and the changeability of all the things he's describing.  * as well as the theme that is going on we can connect it with modernism, like the Enlightenment and the Romanticism because of the coherent systems we have said and how it's all negative at
CAN WE WATCH THE MOVIE? These are some reasons why we should watch the movie; * We can get a better look of how the characters are in the movie and how they were described in the book * The characteristics of each individual personally * Nick portraying the story and how he does it * The imagery described in the book and described in the movie (What are your thought of why we should watch the movie)
