SSR #4

Fahrenhiet 451 pg 120-End
So in this SSR I decided to delve deep into the thought process that was needed to figure out what Ray Bradbury was talking about(and its results) on page 127-128. Here Montan was near a gas station where when walking he encounters a vehicle that is presumed to be a car: "The police of course.......The beetle was rushing. The beetle was roaring. The beetle raised its speed. The beetle was whining. The beetle was in high thunder. The beetle came kimming. The beetle came in a single whistling trajectory. It was up to 130 (mph) at least." Montan came vrey close to getting crushed but he narrowly avoided the "beetle." When he looked back it was a carful (beetle full) of kids that had decided to hit him because he was walkingl. I wonder what would happen if the kids did that and succeeded? Would there be a story on the parlor about it? Would Millie miss Guy? Would Millie be sad that Guy was gone? Would Mildred even know Guy was gone? What would happen when the search hounds finally caught up to an already dead Guy? What would the viewers think of that tv? Would anything happen at all? I wonder......

SSR # 3

Farenhieght 451 pg. 73-120
In one of the many rants that Guy Montan has in this section there is one that deserves me writing about, and it is on page 73. Guy gets frusterated at Millie for she does not see why she should read and so he starts off on why; the really good part was "'Jesus God,' said Montan. 'Every hour so many damn things in the sky! How in hell did those bombers get up there every single second of our lives! Why doesn't someone want to talk about it! We've started and won two atomic wars since 1990!'" What a cool idea the fact that one of our biggest worries currently (war) is business as usual for them. What could possibly be occupying so much of there time that they have the ability to ignore a large, noisy shadow on them from the object in the sky above. Also.........oops my five minutes are up. :)

SSR #2

SSR2
Farinheit 451 pg 1-23
In this book the world is not the same as what we know. People are not allowed to own or read books. Also firemen are called to burn the books down, to start the fires instead of putting them out. One fireman, Guy Montan, starts the book spewing gasoline on a house that contained contraband books. The hose that the fuel is coming from is described, in detail as a python, spitting its venom on the world. I don't know why but this struck an image in my head that all fire in this book is green. All the fire, the ones inside and out of the body and mind, seemed poisonous and viral in nature. Almost as if the people in the fire and observing it are being slowly poisoned by the green glow of a flame.
