A step ahead of the hound

1.) At Blacks house he decides to leave the remaining books there in order for the firefighters to arrive at his house and burn it down. 
2.) Faber describes the war as funny because while is happening they don't notice since they have their own troubles to deal with. 
3.) Faber's TV is as small as a postal card and states that he always wanted a small one so he could hide it in the palm of his hands. 
4.) Montag saw that they were showing the the whereabouts of Montag and then they reveal another mechanical hound that will track him down. They state that this hound is able to remember the smell of thousands of people and easily track Montag. 
5.) He was heading toward the river in order to jump into it before everyone looked outside to see him.

Run Montag Run

I think that the story would end with Montag realizes what he has wanted from the books which I think is to be able to talk to people about anything and see individuality. I think that he'll also find more books and meet new people and try to get them to read books.

The chase is on

1.) The hound attacked Montag probably because he heard the commotion caused from Beatty being burned and the other two fireman being knocked out by Montag.
2.) Montag defended himself by using the flamethrower on the hound when he put the needle in his leg.
3.) Montag realized that the reason why Beatty would joke and taunt him even though he had a flamethrower was because he wanted to die just like Mildred with the sleeping pills and so he got what he asked for.
4.) Montag went to one of the other fireman's house and put the remaining books there which he would later see a fire truck burn the house down.
5.) When Montag crossed the street, he saw kids in a car going really fast trying to run over people who are wondering around. From this Montag realizes that these can be the people who killed Clarisse.

Montag Kills

The reason why I think that Montag kills Beatty is because throughout the whole story he has been listening to Beatty and kills him since Beatty says to do it.

9 Questions

1.) Montag reads the book from some point in the book which wasn't the beginning which lead them to not understand what it meant; Mildred says that Beatty was right that it has no meaning, while Montag says that they have to start at the beginning.
2.) The bombers in the story to me are put in these two sections so you can see some problems that they are facing which is war against something and might be seen in the book later.
3.) Professor Faber is a English professor who went isn't needed anymore since books get burned

12 Questions

1. Ray Bradbury started the book by saying this particular line because maybe Montag may have been told that the books being burned held false information and they had to be burned in order to stop spreading false information but maybe it had truth in them that the government didn't want the public to see.
2. The books are compared to birds because the flapping of the pages in the wind might sound like a bird taking flight or the books information flies away.
3. Montag and Clarisse's life are different from seeing Clarrisse's family talking to each other and being happy, meanwhile Montag's wife almost kills herself because she is lonely and unhappy.
4. Technology doesn't make Montag and Mildred happy because it separates them from talking to each other causing Mildred to feel unhappy while Montag says he's happy but in reality he isn't really happy.
5. The author introduces Montag to us during this time because he wants us to see the change he will go through when he realizes that he doesn't really know what to believe in and starts questioning how he sees the world.
6. The author introduces us to Clarrise first instead of Mildred because she might be setup to more important than Mildred who might not have a big impact on Montag.
7. The houses are all fireproof in this society because there are no books in this part of society or anything seen as bad.
8. Mildred required emergency services in order to get rid of the sleeping pills in her stomach by having a tube get rid of the pills in her stomach.
9. The Hounds purpose is to keep the firefighters entertained by releasing animals for the hound to kill them.
10. Society considers Clarrisse antisocial because she actually does want to talk to people in her school but everyone just keeps to themselves which is seen as normal
11. She lights the match because the line she says ";we shall this day light such a candle," and ignites the house in order to also burn with the books.
12. Montag and Mildred's relationship isn't actually a relationship since they don't even remember when they first met each other.

Modernism

Walking around the city, I noticed that I'm not the only one in this city. I see the lights of the apartments illuminating the rooms with the shadows of the people going over the wall. Shadows that  have a person with each their own succeses and struggles and not only people in the street but people all over the city, the world where each person is vastly different than another person who they might never see in their entire life or just sees them across the street but doesn't really think aboot that person, we all see these people like everyone else, an extra or as a background to our lives with not much thought but they might see us as an extra in their tough or easy life.


Modernism is the idea of changing into a different era where new types of art are formed, and not just like painting but also books, people's thoughts, way they see other people's life and much more.

What I See in Literature

The first imagery that I see in the love song story is when it says, "Time to turn back and descend The stairs. For me I see this part of the story as him wanting to try something but he ends up leaving probably out of his comfort zone. Another quote is, "And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat and snicker," He has been close to the footman, also known as death, which means that he is very close to death probalbly from old age or he's been close to death lots of times leaving him to be careful around his surroundings. For the last quote he states," Advise the prince; No doubt; An easy tool," for this quote I see two hidden meanings, the first is that he is using people for his purposes that  can either be bad or good. The second is that he is seen as someone that no one seems to notice.

For my opinion on the theme of the story I would say that it's about a guy who misses a bunch of opportunities that he could've taken but probably thought they would come baack or he felt sacred or uncomfortable about them.

Love Song First Impressions

The tone of the book is set to match the feeling of the person growing older which is him feeling unsure on what to do since he never got around to do stuff and realizes that death will be knocking at his door. He is also overthinking when it comes to doing basic activities like if he should eat peaches and what he should wear. He has been living a comfortable life where he never dared to leave his comfort zone causing him not to do anything that he felt uncomfortable doing until he realizes that when he realizes he doesn't have a lot of time left.
