Fahrenheit 451 Q&A Part 1

1-The society Montag lives in is cold and lonely.  There society is similar to ours because they rely so much on television like ourselves. This is a dystopia because peopl dont hink for themselves and barley know each other.

2- I think what makes clarisse so special is that she really lookd at the world and trys to learn about people.I think montag was influenced by her because there was a small part of him that new there was something wrong.

3-the mechanical hound was programmed to react to montag maybe because the other firemen new he was susceptible to influence.

4-i think the woman burned herself with her books because she had so much passion for them and didnt was to live without them in a controlling society.

5-i think the author describes the Tv because it shows how influenced it has become in peoples lives. I think the author describes the great sound of tv to symbolize that montag has broke out of the spell

6-I think what's shocking and disturbing about the way Montag found out clarisse is how little care was involved. Mildred didnt seem to be affected or shocked at all.

7-Montag gets sick and dosent go to work because he stole a book and dosent know what to do.

8-I think the fact that montag has books shows he feels there is something wrong in his society. He may have books because he's curious to learn.

9-Beatty describes society as being good without books poking holes in peoples lives.  He thinks people with books arent happy.

10-Mildred believes she is happy because of the things she has.

11-When he met clarisse and seeing the lady burn

12-some examples of foreshadowing would be how Beatty talks to Montag when hes sick and lectures &im symbolizing he knows Montag has a book. Another example is when they hear electronic sounds coming from outside the door  when they are reading and it is really the mechanical hound.

15-I predict Montag will possibly go crazy or even fight back against the firemen n

Fahrenheit 451 questions

                                                                  Fahrenheit 451 questions HW

Describe Montag at the beginning of the novel.  Do you think he's a hero?  Why/not?
1) Montag is a fireman who sets fires. He seems to like his job and dosent have any complaints. I don't think hes a hero due to the fact that i know what he is doing is wrong.However this is what he knows and dosent realize its bad.

Describe Bradbury's tone.  What is his attitude toward the characters, the topics, and the audience?  How can you tell?
2) Bradbury went really into depth with this story and i think his tone is serious or worried. His attitude tword the topic seems to be worried about the future because he predicts alot of the things we do now and some of them aren't positive .For example he predicted non caring health care which is how it works today.

3) Bradbury uses simple terms that are relatable. Some of his sentences do vary in length. Sometimes it goes from a shot sentence to a long one.Bradbury gives the characters senses or feelings that we get in real life which makes you feel like you are there. He goes into great detail to give you a good idea of whats happening.
