Literature Analysis Fahrenhiet 451

1. What drew me to the book was how the class had to read it. 2. What kept me reading was having to read the book and all the action that was going in the story. 3. I'm not one that goes home or to a library looking for a new book to read, but reading this book was an assignment so it had to be done. As time went on I actual started to enjoy the book and think of it more as just reading to read instead of an assignment.

1. The plot of Fahrenheit 451 is about a man that has been living his life not knowing if he is happy and realizes this when this young girl questions it on him. And so the book is about how he thinks the way things should change for things to become a better place.
2. The authors theme is about new beginnings and the acts that have to be taken to fulfill those acts sand ideas that sets that one person over the top of the rest.
3. The tone the author has of the story is new beginnings, death, recreation, and saying how mest up the future of humanity is in the book.
4. 1. You took all the pills in your bottle last night. Pg.19 2. How long you figure before we save up enough and get the fourth wall torn out and a fourth wall TV put in? Pg. 20 3. The mechanical hound flapy but did not sleep lived but did not live. Pg. 24 4. It doesn't like or dislike. It just functions. Pg. 26 5. I'm antisocial they say. I don't mix. Pg. 29 6. I'm afraid of children my own age. They kill each other. Pg. 30 7. They all say the same thing and nobody says anything different from anyone else. Pg. 31 8. Any mans insane who thinks he can fool the government and us. Pg. 33 9. Didn't firemen prevent fires rather than stoke them up and get them going? Pg. 34 10. People ran out of houses all down the streets. Pg. 40

1. Two direct characters wound be Beatty and Mildred who never changed throughout the story. Two indirect characters would be Montag and fabor.
2. It changes and gets more descriptive in a good way depending on they are good like Clarice or bad like Beatty.
3. The protagonists being montag is dynamic and round because he changes throughout the story from a guy burning books to wanting to save everyone of them left.
4. I'd say yes meeting most of the characters in the book it seemed like when ever montag and clarisse were talking I felt I was there in there conversation.

Into to poetry

Where The Sidewalk Ends
1. The title Where The Sidewalk Ends is significant to the poem because in every stanza it says the title at least once in a different way.
2. The tone of the poem is describing how even though one might live in a city that they grew up in and want to get out of, going to a place that is cleaner like a place out in the country side away from the city and all things going on in it.
3. The mood of the poem is trying to show how a town has changed maybe from industry and factories but out past all that there is a simpler place where no of that stuff in the city exists.
4. There is a shift from describing this place out of the city to then describing what the city is like to how people have to follow rules and kind of get told what to do.
5. The theme is go to a place that you enjoy and where you'd dream to live and live there getting away from place that might tell you this is what you need to and this is how you do it.
The Place Where We Are Right
1. The title is the whole subject of the poem of a place where you are right and the title is used in it more than once.
2. The tone of the poem is one that is describing a place that is created from ideas the author or the poem has on a place that is created basted on what they want.
3. The mood of the poem is we all have ideas on how the world should be but those ideas are soon beat down by people and how they think things should be.
4. There really isn't a dramatic shit in the poem that I can pull out.
5. The theme is we all have ideas on a perfect society and the things that should change but in reality everyone has those ideas and most aren't going to agree with your ideas.

Immigrants in Our Own Land

Righetti is just school to me, almost a burden in a way if it wasn't for my friends that make the time pass by faster. I feel if I didn't have to go to school I could have more time out there in the real world learning the trades of what I want to become as a farmer. But there are some good things about school, like when the time rolls around to 3 period I kind of look forward to go to English because the way dr. Preston makes it. It's different in many ways from writing on this blog to the way he talks in class making it new, different, and makes me try and want exceed more than any other class on campus.
I'd say I'm a proud native and a optimistic immigrant. For the reason is I like where I live, living here in santa Maria my whole life and enjoying what it has to offer from the farming and ranching around here to just realizing how special we really are living in a place like we do from the weather to being able to drive to the beach that some people never get to experience in a life time. But then again I like looking around and seeing opportunities for my self in work and businesse opportunities trying to make myself some one when I'm 60 can look back and say ya I did that and be proud and happy for I have become. That might be difficult in ways and I'll have to more my butt off to get there but once you've made it and are proud of that is the real goal for me in life.

In class notes/ thoughts

Today in class I learned who the first rapper in America being Langston Hughes. I also learned about how the way poems words just flow through out the whole thing to make it sound like its rhyming through the whole thing. I also learned today about the poem English B and how well Hughes takes all characteristics on rhyming and is so good at it. Therefore today was a great day to know about why we study and write poetry.

Fahrenheit 451 last 20 page review

In the last 20 pages of Fahrenheit 451 montag is on the run for the murder of Beatty. As he is try to get away from all things human the police have placed a mechanical hound trying to kill Montag. He gets through the city heading for the river and on his way stops by fabers house telling him if this is the end good by and takes some of his clothes and is off back on the run. As this is all happening the police are broadcasting the whole chase on TV and tell everyone at the count of 10 open your doors and montag will be caught. At this time montag is reaching the end of the city and all the houses just missing the eyes of the city. He gets to the river striping off all his clothes throwing them into the river and dumps a bottle of whiskey on himself followed by putting on the clothes he took from faber to throw off the hound. Montag jumps in the river just missing the mechanical hound and catches the current sending him down stream. He emerges from the river once he is out far enough where the city can't find him and finds the old railroad tracks, following them as instructed by faber. He comes upon this light in the forest, going towards it he try's to stay hidden but the men around this camp call for montage to come out. The leader of the groups name is granger and the men are all ex-professors from UCLA to Columbia university. As they talk montag wanders how they know his name and granger pulls out a little battery powered tv and tells him they have been watching the whole chase. As they watched the chase it comes along this man taking a walk and say this is guy montag and the mechanical hound kills the man. As the men talk about this act of how messed up there society is planes fly over head bombing the whole town, leveling it to nothing. The shaken by this seen decide to all go back into the now destroyed city and try to find any survivors left to reshape society. 

Fahrenheit 451 short answer questions

Part 1
1. The society montag lives in is a lot like ours in many ways but is a little bit more extreme in ways like how the firefighters burn things instead of putting them out.           2. Clarisse actually thinks for her self and thinks about what is going on around her when others just watch tv and don't think about anything important.                                         3. The hound was programmed to react to montag because Beatty knew that montag was different and thought about life and books.
4. Those books where all that women had in her life and if you took those a big part of her would be lost and that's all she had to live for.

Fahrenheit 451 summary

Fahrenheit 451 is a book that is about a man by the name of guy montag that is a firefighter that instead of putting out fires starts them in house that are owned by people who have books. In this futuristic world, sum what like ares, books are illegal to have getting your house burnt down if suspected to have any.

FAHRENHEIT 451

Reading the Wikipedia on Fahrenheit 451 I learned that this book was on of Bradbury's best works that he ever created. He wrote this on his concern for book burning during the McCarthy era and how people were actually burning books at that time. The book has won many awards and Bradbury was honored for his great work. The plot is in some mid west city after the 1960s.   

Its been a while

      After starting to read Fahrenheit 451 I have found that its a lot more than just a book. I found I can really connect with Montag and the story. Before getting into this book and really reading I saw that reading really isn't bad at all as long as you find a book that you can really see your self in just as dr. Preston said.    

Ancient stories

The language in the story is a lot more descriptive of people, places, and the way one looks at life. The story also uses a lot of  similes, metaphores, and personification in the story. Story's don't have to be told with the same words or even with the same characters or places but as long as it has the same motive and moral then it doesn't make any difference. The words them selves army in the story directly but the meanings of the words are scadered through out the story.
