A question i had was what happened with the familly the other proffesors had?
"Shake the tree and knock the great sloth down on his ass" this quote means that we should live our lifes to teh fullest and think that we might die any second so we should appreciate every moment we have. We shouldn't be ignorant people. I think that that is what he means.

Farenheit 451 pp 138-154
A question that i had for these pages was that, If Montag had killed the Hound then what other hound are they talking about? was there another hound looking for him?
After Montag escapes he meets other people who like him also ran away becuae they disagreed with the people in town. They help him by telling him to drink something they made, i think it was coffe or tea, and they also tell him to put some of the liquid they gave him. That liquid would make him smell different and the hound would not get to him. before the people hid in the forest they were proffesors and they read books. Now they only memorize the books and they reveal the stories to other people. They think that in the future the information about the books will be written again.

What i find interesting and exciting in this part of the noble was when Faber was telling Montag about the plan he had created. He told Montag to go to the river so he could get away from the police, helecopters and the hound. I also liked when they described the hound.
Fahrenheit 451 pp 110-125
On this pages Montag has to burn his house and then Beatty wants to put him under arrest because he had books at his house. Montag then killed Beatty and ran away.
The sentance that impacted me was "Beatty wanted to die". I know that this sentence is not very descriptive but it's very powerful. It has a lot of meaning behind it. For me this meant that Montag said this words because he saw that Beatty didn't even tried to mve so that he wouldn't of killed him. The word die makes me think of people crying because when someone dies most of the people cry.

The first main scene was at Montag's house, he read a poem to Mildred's friends and made one cry. He was tired of listening to ignorant people. The second main scene was at the firehouse with Beatty. Beatty tries to convince Montag not to quit his job and that books don't mean anything. Then he gets a call and he has to burn Montag's house.
On page 103 when Montag is saying, "It was good listening to the beetle hum, the sleepy mosquito buzz and delicate filigree murmur of the old man's voice....". This figurative language makes me see the way Montag compares the old man's voice with the buzz of a mosquito. In my head i ould picture the sound of the old man's voice and the annoying buzz. This quote appeals to the sense of hearing.

Fahrenheit 451 pp. 80-91
A questin that i have is that why doesn't Montag turn Faber in when he knew that he had books? I mean when he met him he didn't realize that the society was totally wrong in thinking that the books should be burned.
Fabers' plan is to hid books inside the firemen's houses so that they could be caught with them and for once they would be the ones doing something wrong. In page 85 Fiber says "...print extra books and arrange to have them hidden in firemen's houses all over the country, so that seeds of suspicion would be sown among these arsonists". Later on he tells Montag that he was just playing and that he didn't really mean it. But they keep it into cosideration, the only thing is that Faber tells Montag that they can't trust anyone. That's why the lan would not work.

What i like to do
My life as a teenager is very different from others. First of all i am a student, a daughter, and a mother. Yes i know,a MOTHER. I have a 4 month old baby named Daniel. He is everything to me , i love him to death. I never thought that i would be a mother at this age, but now that i am, i'm putting all my effort and time into him. Now i comprehend what my mother went through as a mother. I had to experience everything she went through, All the nights without sleeping, making sure he is happy, changing his diper and a lot more. I know that what i did was counterfactual but i will never regret having him. He means the whole world to me. I think about him all the time, and when i get home he is there waitin for me with a grin. That's what i most like his smile. I just can't wait untill he grows up and realize that i love him. I can't wait untill he calls me mom.
