The way that people see me online is that they don't really know that much about me since I don't post many things, but they could know my personal information.

Essay on fahrenheit 451

Ray bradbury's language, especially his figure of speech and his syntax, to convey how Montag inner world differed from the world around him.
Bradbury'so language is very distinct. Bradbury uses a language that is both simple and beautiful poetic language in the book Bradbury uses simple language when he describes Montag interaction with other people. When Bradbury describes the character or scene, etc he uses a poetic language.
Ray uses figure of speech to show the readers how Montag's inner world differs from the world around him. Ray uses this simile that says, "Henry slid down the pole like a man in a dream." This is a good example of a simile because it shows how Montag is confused and dazed and doesn't feel like he's in the real world. Another figure of speech says,"You ever seen a burnt house? It smolders for days. Well this fire'll last me the rest of my life." This is a great figure of speech or quote because it's interesting how Montag has been at so many fires, and yet just this one fire that he sees affects him so much.
Bradbury's use of syntax in the book in the scene where Montag is yelling in the train because he is hearing about "Denham's" on the speakers. Ray chops down his sentences in this part of the book. Montag's mind changes between two thoughts just like he lives in two life's when he starts reading books.
In conclusion bardbury uses of language and figure of speech, and syntax to convey how Montag's inner world differed from the world around him. Montag lives in two different worlds or wants to. He lives in a world where the society doesn't think or do anything for themselves. Montag wants to live in another world where he can think for himself, where he can read books. Also somewhere he can make his own decisions in his life and for his contry.

guiding questions pg. 133-147


  1. the significant of the glass of milk, apple, pear is for Montag to think for himself.
  2. when Montag thought he saw the mechanical hound it was actually a deer. Montag does not know how to react when seeing a deer.
  3. it's ironic that montag sees a fire because he burns beatty and the hound with his flamethrower and he is talking about seeing the fire.
  4.  Granger is a man who Montag ment while he was running away and has many friends who have memorized important parts of book so they won't forget the important things and so no one who catch them in what they are doing.
  5. On the little tv of Granger it shows the hound still chasing Montag but it's not really him but they can't attmit that they couldn't catch him so theyes caught someone else and pretended that it was Montag and theye people belived it because they couldn't see the man's face.
  6. What Granger means when he says, "we made the right kind of mistake" is that they made the right decision of reading books and thinking for themselfs.

A step ahead of the hound


  1. Montag went to the black'Sea house and he hided a book that he carried with him in their kitchen and then he left and he phoned the alarm and the fireman came and burned the black'Sea house.
  2. Faber describeso the war as "funny" and says, "it seems so remote because we have our own troubles." "I haven't had time to think."
  3. Faber's TV is like a television screen the size of a postal card.
  4. What was passing on the TV while Montag was on the role was the TV news and it talked about that there was a new mechanical hound, followed by a helicopter camera crew, that has been sent out after Montag.
  5. Montag was running for the river when everyone looked out of their houses so the hound couldn't track his trail.

RUN MONTAG RUN

What I think will happen at the end of the story is that Montag will get caught or he will die but knowing that he was himself.

The Chase is on


  1. The hound attacked Montag beacuse it had orders to catch him and kill him.
  2. Montag defended himself by throwing a flamethrower at the hound so it will burn down.
  3. What Montag realized about beatty is that beatty wanted to die because he didn't do anything to save himself from burning or trying to stop Montag. 
  4. Montag ran six blocks into a alley to get to faber's house so Montag can tell him what happened and to get advice from faber. 
  5. When Montag crossed the street he had to make sure there were no cars around so he decide to cross, but at the distance he could hear a car coming, but he decide to keep on going, but the car was getting closer and then Montag stumbled and fell, "an instant before reaching him the wild beetle cut and swerved out. It was gone".

Montag kills!!

I think that Montag killed beatty because he made Montag burn down his own house and he was going to get arrested but more important because beatty was going to threathen Faber for helping Montag. Another that could have taken Montag to this decision was that he knew that he nothing to loose because everything is gone for him.

f451 part 2 questions

  1. Mildred reaction when reading the book together with montag  is that she is misses watching her TV family and she is afraid someone will come to burn the house down once they find books in their possession. Montag reaction when reading the book with milred is that he is hoping these books will lead to an understanding. An understanding of book lovers like Clarisse and Faber, and why people in the society hate books. In this scene Montag reads over each line aloud, analyzes it trying to find deeper meaning while Mildred says they should burn the books.
  2. In sections one and two with the bombers flying over Montag wonders why the war is not discussed by the people in the society or even on TV. He is also annoyed that they fly overhead constantly without a moment of rest, but the people of the society believe that the war is nothing to worry about it will be over shortly after the declaration.
  3. Professor Faber is a man that Montag met in a park a couple of years ago. Montag figured out that Faber had been illegally reading books, but he didn't mind and they started talking. Faber gave Montag his phone number and address and he didn't contact him until a year later after Montag also started to read books. Faber helps Montag give back the book he had stole when he was on duty with Captain Beatty. Another thing is that professor Faber is a retired English teacher who has been thrown out of the world forty years ago when the last liberal arts college shut down for the lack of students and patronage. 
  4. Montag is riding on a subway and trying to memorize a part of the Bible, however, there is a loud advertisement blaring over the speakers promoting "Denham's Dentifrice" Montag tries to block out the noise as he reads from the Bible in his lap and he begins to try and fight out the commercial in his mind so he can memorize the passage, but it's too difficult so he begins to argue out loud and others begin staring at him. There are some suggestions to call the guard, but then the train doors open at his stop, allowing him to rush off. He had an outburst on the subway because he can now see how difficult it is to avoid the ridiculousness of the media and how no one seems to care or notice.
  5. Faber states three features of books. First, they have "quality." Faber means that they speak of both the evils of humanity as well as all of the good things humans do. But that is the job of books: to reflect life. Second, books require "leisure." People have to take time to read and digest the books. The fast-paced lives that the people in the novel lead leave no room to slow down and read or reflect on life. Finally, Faber states that the third quality is "the right to carry out actions based on what we learn from the interaction of the first two." He means that people must not only read books that reflect life and take time to think about what they have read, but then they must process what they have learned in their own lives.
  6. the small green metal object is no larger than a 22 bullet. People use little seashells to listen to the radio. When Montag finally convinces Faber that he wants to be part of the underground movement to save the books, Faber gives him a special radio that looks like a seashell but is actually his own special invention. Faber is then able to talk in Montag's ear while Montag spies and gets information for him.
  7. The White Clown show is meant to show the society to be mindless drones who are easily and cheaply amused. Clowns are associated with little children and simple amusements. Clowns are not associated with sophisticated humor the white clowns just juggle and entertain they don't require any thinking or interaction like other shows that require the viewer to participate. The White Clown Cartoon show desensitizes the audience to violence, and gives them a false understanding of what something like war really is. This is significant because the community is on the brink of war, but no one cares.
  8. Mrs. Phelps is carried away by the emotion of the poem because she has never heard a poem read before. She begins crying and she is not sure why. When the others ask she responds that the poem is bad and that's why she was crying. When she describes Montag as "nasty" and says that he has "proven" that poetry is terrible she is just reacting the way society has told her to react. She has been conditioned to believe that literature is bad, emotion is bad, and in fact all feeling is bad. She is experiencing emotion and it is a foreign experience for her. She does not know how to react and she responds by attacking Montag and literature in general.
  9. Throughout the ride and when they arrive at their destination Beatty is unnaturally preoccupied with Montag. At the end he is watching Montag like a hawk —Beatty wants to see how Montag will react to the realization that the house the men plan to burn tonight is Montag's house. Montag realizes that someone turned him in so his books will be set on fire.

answer to question in class

why did the women decide to stay and died instead of saving her self and leaving with montag?
the women decided to die with her books instead of living without them because i think that for her the book are the most important thing for life because that is where you everything about all the things that you know today. like for example montag he took a book because she wants to learn to ask questions not sit around doing nothing.

f451 questions part 1 continue

13. Montag tells mildred that he is sick, and asks her to call Captain Beatty. When Beatty arrives mildred refuses to tell him Montag is sick. Beatty explains all of this to Montag in the hopes that he will understand that there is nothing in books worth keeping. He wants Montag to not make the mistake of throwing his life away. He knows that Montag might choose books, and perhaps feels that he already did. Maybe he does not care. Either way, he knows that he has done his job
14. in my opinion i think that the book does violate the idea that everyone is equal because if everyone was equal everything would be boring and every person would act the same. 
15. Montag feels "fat" because his knowledge of and interest in books is a great burden. The burden is so great that it is even effecting him physically; he feels uncomfortable in his body, and he feels heavier.

Tuesday, March 14, 2017

f451 questions part 1

  1. Ray Bradbury starts of the novel that way because in his mind he thinks in our society books are burned and so is any sort of free thinking, independent  thought, any sort of happiness. He thinks all personal intelligence is completely  repressed and imprisoned.
  2. in the opening scene the books are compared to birds because books are compared to birds because books offer freedom through your thoughts, like birds who are free and have no restraints; Birds are a symbol of freedom. Birds fly wherever they want, and are able to go to heights and distances unknown to people. Books also are able to transport us to other worlds and lands, just by opening the pages and allowing us to digest the stories within. So, by burning the books, they burn not only freedom of thought but also the ability to imagine; They are burning the wings that would allow flight - flight of thought, flight of imagination, of individuality - that books bring to us.
  3. Montag's lives in house with his wife and he is a fireman nothing out of the ordinary happens to him. he burns books for a living and he is like all the other fireman's who follow orders and don't ask questions. on the other hand we have Clarisse who is the opposite of Montag. she is a 17 year old girl and we know so far that she doesn't have a job or anything else. we can say she is a crazy girl.
  4. the technology in the novel is different from our current technology because our technology is more advanced than the one back then. we don't worry about hold the cable so our t.v can work or of not getting signal because that is why we have technology. in the novel technology doesn't improve the life of montag and Mildred because Mildred spends all of her time in front of the t.v and doesn't spend time with montag.
  5. the author introduces montag at this time of his life when he encounters Clarisse and confronts Mildred because the author wants the readers to learn more about montag and how his life is.
  6. the author introduces the character of clarisse before Mildred because Mildred represents what is wrong in Montag's life that he is ignorant of the world he is helping to create. Clarisse introduces him to independent thought. Mildred has had little impact on causing change in Montag. Clarisse is a voice, the first real and definitive voice that represents how things should be for Montag.
  7. all the houses are all fireproof in this society because it's for the safety of the people and becasue the fireman's job is to burn books they burn the books but the buildings didn't burn. the job of burning were given to the fireman since books were banned and their jobs were unnecessary.
  8. Mildred needed emergency service because montag found out that she was in a self induced coma. she took a whole bottle of sleeping pills and the two paramedics used a machine to make her better.
  9. The mechanical hound is a machine that is used to hunt down and kill people who have in some way violated the laws of the society. Its purpose in the society is to kill people who break the laws. 
  10.  To clarisse talking to people, being around them, getting to know them, and asking questions about the world to start good discussions. So, because she doesn't behave the way that all of the other teenagers behave, she is considered anti-social. She actually enjoys thinking, and not going around smashing things up and never really talking to the people you are doing the smashing with. So, that is why she is considered anti-social; she isn't social in the way that everyone else is.
  11. Mildred and Montag hardly know each other, and are not in love with each other. Mildred's focus is on the "parlor family" and does not focus on Montag. They sleep in separate twin beds in the same room, but do not really communicate with each other. They talk to each other, but there is no deep communication as there is when Montag meets Clarisse. It is also very evident that Mildred only cares for herself when she sounds the alarm on her own hvusband for having books in the house and reading poetry to her and her friends.

F451 guiding questions ch 1


  1. Montag lives in a society where people can't ask questions or look for information. It's better for people not to think for themselves. This is similar to our society because like for example studentshows go to school to learn but they don't learn everything just what the teacher want or because what they need to teach the important stuff. We don't have enough time to learn every single little thing. The signs that this is a dystopia society is that every person does not benefit from things they learn for example with students there are some students that learn quickly and there are others that don't learn very well and need more help and sometimes the teachers don't even care. Then students drop out and become bad people.
  2. What made Clarissa so special was that she was 17 and saw life so different also she wasn't scared of the things ahead of her in life. She would ask why and how did things happened.Two things she had was curiosity and they she could approach a new friend.

what i see in literature


  • metaphor: green light- the green light represents Gatsby's dream and it represents the society desire and the impossibility of achieving the "american dream".
  • smile:"a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges..."- this is setting the mood it talks about the valley of ashes between west egg and New York. it creates a grim mood reflecting on the downside of the industrial boom of the 1920's 
  • personification:"the late afternoon sky bloomed in the window for a moment"- the sky can't actually bloom like a flower it shows us the time which is the setting
  • irony:"neither of them can stand the person they're married to"- myrtle and tom are two married people but has a affair together but they don't love the person they are married to. they are both unhappy people but can't be together because of the situation that they are married. 
  • bias:"your wife doesn't love you," said Gatsby quietly, she never loved you.."- Gatsby is convincing Daisy and influencing her words to Tom

MUSIC AS LITERATURE

We can describe that music as literature because they are both composed of words. We read the lyrics of a song and we also read the words in a book, poem or anything else that has to do with literature. Music and literature are both composed of a collected work of different cultural.
