My first thoughts on the novel were that the guy who fights the fires is egotistical and takes pride in himself as being a firefighter. He is possibly not in his right mind due to him haring whispers in his won head. His goal is to eliminate every book with fire. ]]> 2019-03-07 16:01:37 UTC https://padlet.com/charlesmarsh/6jl1fbu4lps2/wish/338926788 cooperhesse https://padlet.com/charlesmarsh/6jl1fbu4lps2/wish/338926874 Basic description and first thoughts, This book takes place in this "city" in the 21 century. The author was depicting his idea of the future. The main character, Guy Montag, works as a fireman but not in the typical sense. His job is to go around the city and burn any books. He met a Seventeen year old named Clarisse McClellan and she sparked his interest. //Thoughts// The way the author wrote Guys thoughts is very interesting. His thoughts are very erratic, jumping from idea to idea. ]]> 2019-03-07 16:01:45 UTC https://padlet.com/charlesmarsh/6jl1fbu4lps2/wish/338926874 charlesmarsh https://padlet.com/charlesmarsh/6jl1fbu4lps2/wish/341372688 The emotions this book gave me were bad ones, because the books in the story that are getting burned are getting burned for no reason. Therefore your taking down trees to make books to get burnt, books are good for people to read and learn a lot of new things and words which can help with certain skills later in life. Also tearing down trees to cuts oxygen out more and more.]]> 2019-03-14 15:09:22 UTC https://padlet.com/charlesmarsh/6jl1fbu4lps2/wish/341372688 cooperhesse https://padlet.com/charlesmarsh/6jl1fbu4lps2/wish/341377771 What one element from the book would you like to bring into your life? One element from Fahrenheit 451 that I would bring into my life is that Montag has a purpose. He works everyday as a firefighter and takes care of his wife. All I do is go to school and go home everyday. I would like to have an important job that I could give all my effort in.]]> 2019-03-14 15:17:10 UTC https://padlet.com/charlesmarsh/6jl1fbu4lps2/wish/341377771 cooperhesse https://padlet.com/charlesmarsh/6jl1fbu4lps2/wish/343384228 “It was a pleasure to burn. It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed.” This quote is saying that the main character, Guy, enjoys the fires that he starts. The fires mesmerize him with light and death. This quote is important because it gives us a glimpse in to Guys head, we get to see the enjoyment he gets from fire. The underlined theme in this quote is the violence that the fire brings to everything it touches.]]> 2019-03-20 15:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/charlesmarsh/6jl1fbu4lps2/wish/343384228 charlesmarsh https://padlet.com/charlesmarsh/6jl1fbu4lps2/wish/343389464 “If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you'll never learn.” This is stating that if you hide from dumb things you do nobody would ever find out, but if someone were to find out they would tell you about said actions and from the repercussions that somebody got, would make them not do it anymore. ]]> 2019-03-20 15:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/charlesmarsh/6jl1fbu4lps2/wish/343389464
