A STEP AHEAD OF THE HOUND

1. Montag went to Blacks house to plant books sneaky.
2. Faber describes the war as air borne and the tracks are abandoned.
3. Fabers tv is almost the size of a postal card.
4. That a new Mechanical Hound is looking for Montag, and also a camera crew.
5. Montag was running from the new mechanical hound.

Run Montag Run

I feel as if the police will catch up to Montag and possibly kill him or Montag burns himself with his books like the old lady did. . But before his death, he would probably be surrounded in an old library, or maybe with books he retrieved from his garden and just read them all, before the police execute him at the fire department.  And possibly he would be wearing his firemen jacket, here the sirens get close, and burn with his books. Just a theory of what i think would happen at the end of the book.

The Chase Is On

1. The mechanical hound attacked Montag because he just commited a crime. Killing Beatty.
2. Montag turned on the flamethrower, and try to burn the mechanical hound
3. Montag realized Beatty had a death wish. While the scene where Montag and Beatty were confronting each other, Beatty stood there, not trying to save himself before he would be burned
4. He went to go retrieve the books he buried in the garden,
5. Montag almost got ran over by a bunch of kids joy-riding. (driving)

Montag Kills

Montag was annoyed of how Beatty was calling the books "useless" and forced montag to burn his own house down. He had enough of what Beatty was saying, so he burned him alive.

Appreciation

I came to a realization one day, and stared myself in the mirror. Looking at my cloths, pants, sweater, anything i have with me. I started to think, "how lucky am i to have all these things that i own". Because not a lot of people obtain these kind of things. Both my Mother and Father have been  sacrificing there time to give me the best future i could have. And i feel like we take that for granted. All the things they do is for us. They're taking action of their responsibilities, and making sure everything is done right by them. Without them, i wouldn't even be here. I wouldn't have this personality, the cloths i have, the love, care, etc. Some parents may not come home often because they are supporting us. They may be gone for a week, a couple days, or even hours of not coming home. You know why, because they are supporting us. The new sneakers, make-up, hats, shirts, the chains, earnings, anything we want, is because of them. Those things we want, they didn't have those as kids growing up. My Dad has been working his whole life since he was a kid. I haven't even had a job since i was at the age my Dad was when he was a kid. At the age of 7 he already had a job picking crops. When i was 7, i had my toys and light up shoes. That's all i dealt with as a little kid growing up. If i had the chance to tell my Mother for all of the things she has done, i would. But i don't have that chance. All i got is my Dad now, and the things i will say when i see him. Man! Every day when my Dad calls me up from work, (he is a truck driver) at the end of every conversation i say "I love you". Some people may think it's childish, but let me say this; if it was someones last day, wouldn't you want to at least say you love them? Knowing that you cared about them? Because we never know when it's going to be their last. That's why when i always hear conversations of how "annoying their mom or dad" is. All they are trying to do is help and support you. Not many people are with their biological parents. We take so much for granted, and we don't even realize it. To all the parents working hard, supporting their families. I say thank you. Gracias, Merci, Grazi, danke sehr, mahalo, toda,and spasiba. Go say "I love you" to the people you love, because we may never know when it may be their last.

F451 Questions Part ll

13. Beatty visits Montag because Beatty starts to realizes that Montag is experiencing compassion about books

14. I think that books violate the idea of everyone being equal because if you are the few people who actually reads books in your spare time. Then you have time to make theories, and question somethings. But if someone were to not to read, then those people would not have that mentality of questions things, and theorizing particular situations.

15. Because he doesn't feel comfortable in a situation he is in. Starting to feel sluggish.

F451 Questions

1. To catch the readers attention.

2. Because books can trigger thoughts in our mind, and could lead to ideas. Just like a bird, it sometimes symbolizes things.

3. Clarisse is always curious and wants to learn things. She doesn't care if she doesn't fit in. Montag does not question things, he lets things flow.

4. Technology doesn't make Montags life any better. At work, it could be beneficial, but not in his personal life.

5. To show the characters conflict. And bringing in other characters cause things to complicate. Just like he met Clarisse, a rising action to Mildreds over dose.

6. He introduces her because there can be a rising action into the story. Builds up complications to the main character.

7. For safety reasons from firemen. When they would burn the house, the house wouldn't burn, only the books.

8. Because she was having an over dose on a possible suicide. Montag calls the paramedics who have a snake like hoes to replace Mildreds blood with new blood.

9. The hound is designed to hunt down and kill people who have violated the law.

10. Clarisse does not like to participate in activities. She would rather talk,and think in her spare time.

11. It defines that somethings that we care for so much, define how we want to live and die for.

12. There is basically no relationship between them. Their lives are really different from each other, right from the gecko Mildred is attempting suicide. She obviously isn't happy.  

Fahrenheit 451 Questions

1. In the beginning of the story, we obviously get a vibe of seeing that this America is a dystopia. "It was a pleasure to burn". That indicates that Firemen are meant to burn things, instead of taking the fire out. The society is almost simliar like ours. We barely see people walking on the streets anymore, and if they the people in cars will stare at you. (i had my fair share of walking a long way to places. I've seen this before)And in Fahrenheit 451, Clarisse talks about her uncle being a pedestrian and no one being on the sidewalk. Almost similar to our society.  

2. Clarisse is special because Montag is struck by her. He has never met someone who asks "why" instead of "how". She takes walks for her enjoyment and to relax. Not everyone does this kind of thing on a regular basis.  

3.The mechanical hound senses that Montag is hoarding books illegally.

What I See In Literature

In both Great Gatsby and Prufrock, both characteristics of Gatsby and Prufrock show they are in a dilemma. Of whether of taking advantage to tell someone their feelings towards another person. Also, when both stories have metaphors of someone seeing there every move. Just like in Gatsby, the billboard with eyes and in Prufrock people were judging him. Both metaphors show that everyone is watching you. Lastly, both stories have a contrast the frustration and despair in a bankrupt world. The rich and the poor.

Prufrock Impression

The last line in the poem was actually deep towards the reader. "By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown

Till human voices wake us, and we drown". I dont know what it may mean, but possibly possibly envisioning a beautiful woman, referring to a beautiful mermaid? im not to sure.

Song of the Day

If you may have known in my other post I've played a game called Life Is Strange. A great game by the way, here is the link to check out the blog http://jangelcruz.blogspot.com/2017/02/life-is-strange.html

After i have played the game, there is a song in the game that i really enjoy. The song is very relaxing and soothing. Whenever i listen to the song, i reflect on the things I've in my life, and i thought i would share it. It is called Foals- Spanish Sahara. Hope you guys enjoy.
