Why does Montag continue to worry about Mildred even after she betrayed him? What do you feel the relationship between Mildred and Montag was? Did he love her? Did she love him? s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271338735 Mildred did not love Montag and he did not love her but Montag cared for her.]]> 2018-07-28 17:12:41 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271338735 question 2. Why does Montag remember where he met Mildred at the end of the book? Does it make it more/less significant? Does it mock their marriage? s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271338748 It makes it more significant Because it took so long to remember and it mocks their marriage because it did not matter enough to remember it.]]> 2018-07-28 17:13:16 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271338748 question 3. Do you think Clarisse was a trap/set up for Montag, or was she just an odd person? Do you think she died...? s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271338797 I think she was just an odd person and i think she died but not from what Mildred said she died from]]> 2018-07-28 17:15:14 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271338797 question 4. What is the meaning of life in this book? Is it valued? s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339092 In this book there isn't really a meaning of life. Most people that value life in this book have books.]]> 2018-07-28 17:26:56 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339092 question 5. Are there any circumstances where censorship might play a beneficial role in society? Are there some books that should be banned? s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339120 I believe nothing should be kept from people ignorance only harms people.]]> 2018-07-28 17:28:38 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339120 question 6. One suicide and one near-suicide occur in this book. Why would two people who seem to be so different from each other try to take their own lives? Why does suicide happen so frequently in Montag's society?" s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339184 Many people do not find the life they are living worth it.]]> 2018-07-28 17:31:50 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339184 question 7. Montag turns to books to rescue him; instead they help demolish his life- -he loses his wife, job and home; he kills a man and is forced to be a nomad. Does he gain any benefits from books? If so, what are they? s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339259 Montag gains the benefit of knowledge and understanding.]]> 2018-07-28 17:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339259 question 8. The Captain says about the Mechanical Hound, “‘It doesn't think anything we don't want it to think,' " and Montag says, “‘that’s sad . . . because all we put into it is hunting and finding and killing' " (Bradbury 27). How does this reflect the society in the book, especially the Firemen? Is the society as adept at "programming" its members as programming the dog? s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339270 The society and the firemen just do what they are told to do.]]> 2018-07-28 17:34:00 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339270 question 9. Clarisse describes why she does not go to school: “‘Being with people is nice. But I don't think it's social to get a bunch of people together and not let them talk, do you?' " (Bradbury 29). Do modern schools hinder social behavior? Can Clarisse really be more social than someone who goes to school? s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339326 In modern schools there is not much time to socialize because we spend so much time learning.]]> 2018-07-28 17:36:48 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339326 question 10. Montag says, “‘We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you [Mildred] were really bothered?' “(Bradbury 52). What are some ways by which being "really bothered" can make a person better? Does being bothered help you, personally, put things into perspective? s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339349 Being bothered can stimulate people and help them have variety in life.]]> 2018-07-28 17:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339349 question 11. Why do the characters say they have TV parlor "families"? s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339415 They feel like they can relate and bond with these people.]]> 2018-07-28 17:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339415 question 12. What do you think Faber could have meant when he said that watching television feels more "real" than reading a book? s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339531 He means people can see that is being mentioned instead of imagining it.]]> 2018-07-28 17:46:11 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339531 question 13. What exactly do you think Faber meant when he said, "I feel alive for the first time in years". What did he mean by he "felt alive"? s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339556 He meant he didn't feel like a robot and that he could do what he wanted.]]> 2018-07-28 17:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339556 question 14. How do you think the survivors of the destroyed city will live with the homeless men and Montag to guide them? How will their lives be different than they were before? Do you think their opinions on books and reading can be changed? (All one general topic) s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339574 I feel their lives will change for the better because they will learn books are not evil.]]> 2018-07-28 17:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339574 question 15. What is the significance of Montag having a book for himself? Would you have seen him doing this at earlier parts in the book seeming his job is to burn the books? s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339577 The significance is that he does not see books as the enemy. I would not have guessed he would own a book since he knows what happens if someone does own one.]]> 2018-07-28 17:48:06 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339577 question 16. What evidence is there to support the possibility of a dystopia such as Fahrenheit 451? s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339585 In a dystopia nothing is pleasant in a place much like the place Montag was from. ]]> 2018-07-28 17:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339585 question 17. What impact does Clarisse's death have on the story? Do you think there was love in the relationship between Millie and Montage?Why do you think the novel ended the way it did? s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339613 Montag mourned her death and helped push Montag to kill Beatty. I do not think their was love in Montag's marriage. I think the novel ended the way it did to leave us in suspense. ]]> 2018-07-28 17:49:47 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339613 question 18. If Benjamin Franklin established the Firemen of America in 1790 to burn English-influenced books, then why was it okay for the two firefighters to pull out a book to show Montag that? s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339621 It was okay because he was not self educating and the book did not speak against them.]]> 2018-07-28 17:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339621 Question 19. Why was Beatty not in trouble for admitting he has read book in the past if the books are illegal? s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339639 Possibly at that time books were not illegal. ]]> 2018-07-28 17:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339639 question 20. In what ways is use of technology in Fahrenheit 451 similar in today's society? s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339652 It is similar to today's society because they depended on technology to solve their problems.]]> 2018-07-28 17:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339652 question 21. If you had to memorize a single book or risk its extinction, which book would you choose? s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339662 If i had to memorize a book it would be To Kill a Mockingbird.]]> 2018-07-28 17:51:42 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339662 The hearth and the salamander s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339745 This title mentions a salamander and the hearth witch is the bottom of a fireplace. In this chapter the reader learns about a fireman who sets fires. These firemen wear a badge with a salamander on it. The title ties the hearth with the salamander because men wearing the salamander come to homes and burn the homes along with any books inside. The salamander is a symbol of fire. In the book a line states "on his badge with the orange salamander burning across it." (Bradburry 17) this shows the salamander is related with fire. Another example of this is the line that states "He pulled out his igniter, felt the salamander etched on its silver disc..." (Bradbury 10) giving us a visualization of how closely related the salamander is to fire. The word hearth can also be used to symbolize a home therefore the title is relating the salamander with the fire that consumes the homes of book owners.]]> 2018-07-28 17:54:56 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339745 The Sieve and the Sand s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339764 A sieve filters out what someone wants or does not want in a material or in this case a society. The significance of this is that the firemen are filtering the books out of their society. Montag states "If you read fast and read all, maybe some of the sand will stay in the sieve." (Bradbury 74) what this is saying is he wants to gain the knowledge but it is going right through him. This closely relates with the people the firemen hunt. They try to obtain books because they are hoping they will not just disappear and cease to exist. These people that own books are just trying to learn and hope they can teach others.]]> 2018-07-28 17:56:08 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339764 Burning Bright s849141 https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339773 The significance of this title is that in this chapter Montag's rage burns bright. Montag gets so enraged that he kills Beatty. "And then he was a shrieking blaze, a jumping, sprawling gibbering manikin, no longer human or known, all writhing flame on the lawn as Montag shot one continuous pule of liquid fire on him." (Bradbury 113) This quote is another example of why the chapter is titled Burning Bright because Montag sets his world on fire. He is forced to burn his home and he loses everything.]]> 2018-07-28 17:56:46 UTC https://padlet.com/s849141/JMendezSummerRead1/wish/271339773
