A Step Ahead of the Hound

1. Montag left the books at the Blacks' house
2. Faber said it was weird how the war had begun when they were in a sort of war themselves as well
3. Faber's TV was just like a phone
4. The news was on Faber's tv showing the new mechanical dog and the house of Montag
5. Montag was running to the river and trying to not get caught by everyone coming out of their house

The Chase is on

1. The hound attacked Montag because he killed Beatty.
2. Montag defended himself by Burning the mechanical dog
3. Montag realized Beatty wanted to die, since he didn't do anything and kept insulating him
4. Montag didn't know where he was going until he noticed he was heading to Faber's house
5. When Montag crossed the road, he almost got him by a car

Montag kills

I believe Montag kills Beatty because he pushed him to his limits. Beatty kept telling him things about the books he was ready and Montag just got tired of it. He also would of been arrested and had nothing else to do.

Catching up

I've only read up to page 54, but the part I'm on is pretty interesting. The firemen burned a women alive along with her books. I know we read that party but I went back because I really didn't understand some parts. Montag got sick and parinoid, he thought he heard the mechanical dog. Montag was gonna call the chief and tell him he was gonna miss work, but somehow he already knew. The Chief went to him and told him how the program originated.

F451 Questions

1. Well they're different because they seem more literal than us. Firemen actually start fires instead of helping and putting things out. They also seem more advanced since they have mechanical hours. It might seem as a dystopia place since they don't understand the things that happened in the past.

2. Clarisse actually knows how things used to be in the past. She knows fire men used to put out fires instead of starting them. She's more open minded and understanding.

3. I think the mechanical hounds were programmed to help Montag if anything happens to him when starting a fire.

What I See in Literature

The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes,

my collar mounting firmly to the chin,

This is a valley of ashes - a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and, finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air.

The last one helps me see how the valley look. By the description, I see that everything around there is burnt and there's smoke everywhere. It's a very ashy place and it looks like people can't even be there. People are so used to it that it's just a regular thing now.

Poem

The poem was depressing for me. He just gave up instead of trying to get the girl. The guy was not confident in himself. He just accepted the fact of being alone and growing old by himself.

Can we watch the movie ?

i think we should watch the movie because it gives us a visual of how the characters look and shows their actions theoughout the movie. We also get to see the differences and similarities between the book and movie.
