How has Montag changed from the beginning of the novel to this part? In writing about this you might want to notice that the environment has changed from the city to nature. Is this a coincidence or is the author trying to say something by contrasting the city to nature in relation to the ways Montag has changed.
Montag has changed in a few ways. & since the beginning, all I know is that Montag wanted to burn books but now he is trying to save them. Towards the end, Montag realizes that book are worth so much. Worth dying for.

F451 pg 126-137
One of the quotes that I found interesting was, "...with the helicopters fluttering like torn bits of paper in the sky, he phoned the alarm at a lonely phone booth outside the store..."
i like how the author uses alot of intersting words to describe his nouns.

F451 pg 110-125
1. Summarize what happens in one or two sentences.
What happens is, Montag ends up burning his own house down because he's forced to. He then kills the hound and is wanted for committing a murder crime.

When i read pages 3-21, I didn't understand some of the metaphors that were in the novel. Mainly when he returned to where he was supose to be after they met. I got a bit lost on that part.
It seems to me that Montag and his wife are distant from each other because Montag is interested in other women. It says how Montag's wife is all depressed.

I do have a few confusions about whats going on but everything seems to make sense when you go over what you read about twice. As for now, I dont really have any good questions.
Pages 21-40 tell me that Clarisse is a very interesting young girl. Shes not a very social person. I see Clarisse more as a laid back type of girl who would rather sit and do something not every 17 year old girl would do like knit or watch and pay close attention to her suroundings. I guess you can say she is "mature" for her age. I say this because of the conversations held with Montag and herself. Montags wife on the other hand wasnt mentioned too much. All I know about her is that she tried to commit suicide by over dosing on sleeping pills. I also think that Montag is not paying enough attention to her as he should be. Maybe because thats HIS WIFE.
I personally dont really think that the people in the book are that different from the people today. Its obvious that people in the book have relation to people today. Maybe not so many like Clarisse. It may be rare but im sure they DO exist.

Give a very short (1-3 sentence) summary of the two main scenes in this section. The first scence was at home in the living room and the second scene was in the fire house with Beatty.
The first major scene that happens in this chapter is that Mildred has friends over and they are just minding there own business & chatting. Until Montag comes out and he starts to read a poem. Then the women start crying for some apparent reason.
The second scene, Montag returns to the firehouse and Beatty and himself are playing poker. Beatty is talking to Montag, telling him about his dream. Montag starts to get offended by what Beatty is telling him. In the dream Beatty and Montag were fighting verbally. Afterwards, Montag was deeply offended.
1) Find a sentence or two that has strong adjectives and/or verbs. Quote the book and explain why these are strong descriptive words and why they are effective. How do they appeal to the senses? What mental images do they invoke?
“Abruptly the room took off on a rocket flight into the clouds, it plunged into a lime-green sea where blue fish ate red and yellow fish.”
I do not understand this but I believe this is a metaphor. Perhaps not a very good one though.

Descriptive #2
I hear the clinging of the china dishes in the warm soft baby blue kitchen. I smell the wonderful scent of baking sweet potatoes with creamy smooth and lucious marshmellows. I hear the slight boil on the simmering chicken broth in the metal pot. My mother calls out to me from the front garden with small rose buds and blossums and tells me to turn down the heat on the smoldering stove. As I make my way into this room with a fragrance so delicious that I can almost taste it because of the rich aroma. I close my eyes and think about how lucky I am to have a home cooked meal with tender love and care with each spoonful.

One question that got me thinking about the book was why Beatty allowed Montag to have books without burning them.
A. What does Montag mean when he says that books "point, one way or another, to Clarisse?"
I think that montag says this because he knows Clarisse is different and if books are exposed then all the people will know things the government doesnt want them to know. For example Clarisse suddenly disappeared when society realized she was getting in on things that should be hiddin from the public. I think soon that montag well start becoming more and more like Clarisse and that something will happen that isnt fortunate towards Montag.

As i walk through the dark creepy hallway. I see a thin but yet thick layer of silk hanging from the v shaped roof. My vision is hazy, i can't see any thing. Im shivering, im nervous, im scared of that "thing." I feel something tickle my skin, i dont know what it is. i see a dim of light, im running and running like the speed of light. i finally reach the big heavy door. it finally opens, the light shines completely through. I see whats inside, and all it was me nicks beast. spiders and poop.
