THE CHASE IS ON!

1. Why did the Hound attack Montag?
2. How did Montag defend himself?
3. What did Montag realize about Beatty?
4. Where did Montag go?
5. What happened when Montag crossed the street?

1.The hound attacked Montag because it was commanded to, in case Montag ran away, yet I feel that now the hound attacked Montag because not only is Montag running but he killed Beatty.

2. Montag defended himself by attacking the hound with the fire gun! He burned that thing to ash.

3. Montag realized that Beatty wanted to die, if he didn't want to die then Beatty would've shut his face up and pleaded for Montag to let him go.

4. Monag first went to the backyard to find SOME books (stupid Mildred didn't find all of them) and then limped his way away.

5. When Montag crossed the street he could hear sirens going off so he 'ran' to the alley. He heard footsteps so he planned to stay there shortly. He checked his pockets and found money and his seashell. In the seashell he heard the alert to look for him.

1. Mildred is acting more like a spoiled brat who doesn't want to eat her vegetables, yet in this problem she doesn't want to understand books. Montag, however, is acting like a little kid on Christmas, he wants to understand books and read! Faber is Cindy Lou and Mildred is the Grinch/Grouch.

2. There is a war happening so something big will happen. I honestly feel that it's just a background to make the story feel real but the bombers will show up later in the story.

3. Professor Faber is a man Montag met at the park who has books. However continuing on with Part 2, Faber is a new friend that Montag has. Faber is going to teach him about understanding books.

4. Montag felt that his boundaries weren't being respected, the commercials were invading his thoughts and he didn't have his peace and quiet. 

5. Faber makes  3 important facts on books; quality texture of information, leisure to digest it,  and the right to carry out actions based on what we learn from the interaction of the first two. Faber compares books to life. Books are just the difficulties of life out to paper, but his society doesn't want difficulties of life. His society wants everyone equal and all things 'evil' gone.

6. The small green metal object is a two way earpiece. It is sort of like a Bluetooth earpiece that lets you speak and listen, even when you're not in the same room.

7. I believe that the television shows in their society is sadistic. The white clowns chop each others limbs and people laugh. Their television shows are very bland and it's trying to find humor in pain.

8. I felt that Mrs. Phelps cried because "Dover Beach"  was talking about true love and she doesn't have that. She understood poetry (once, this one time) and she felt her emotions understand the words because that's her life, not true love.

9.At the end of Part II, the firemen end up at his house because Mildred called in the book fiasco! 

College/ Universities Rally?

Today the juniors (class of 2018) went to a college day for higher education week in the Wilson gym. I honestly feel that most people only went to it so they didn't have to be in class. I saw most of the kids just walking around the booths and playing on their phones. They just wasted their precious time by doing nothing instead of looking for potential colleges.

I visited the Cal Poly, UC Davis, UC Merced, University of Idaho, Fresno State and the SBCF. I only visited these schools because I plan to major in Agricultural education and Agricultural business and these schools have agricultural programs. I got to learn more things from the different booths. For example, most colleges make you take 2 years of basic credential such as math, English and science, however Cal Poly doesn't. They let you just dive into the many things in agricultural that you want to. They're motto is "Learning by doing" just like FFA's motto is "Learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live and living to serve." Cal Poly focuses on hands on activities and most of ( I believe all of them) the majors they have always ends up with a job. I loved hearing new things from these different universities and can't wait to see what college has in store.

• Clarisse's generation is gruesome. They kill or are killed. Kids in her grandfather's time were responsible and were disciplined. 
• "But they all say the same things and nobody says anything different from anyone else."
• This is so true! It seems that everyone talks about the same things everyday or everyone talks about the same boring things as the next person.

• So what I understood was books were burned because they didn't make people happy
• ^Actually whatever makes people unhappy, burn it (i.e. funerals make people unhappy. Don't have them and just cremate them. Just burn them into ash
• Happy world? Firemen are the happy boys who are in charge of taking down anything unhappy in their happy world
• Guy Montag has 20 books he's saved throughout the years and he and Mildred are going to read them at least once
• Guy seems like a little child on Christmas morning while Mildred seems like the Grouch who doesn't understand anything
