Fahrenheit 451 #10

Comments:

  • Montag begins his jouney in hopes on not getting caught.
  • He disguises himself so he wont get caught by the Hound; he changes his clothes and makes sure he smells like alcohol instead.
  • Everyone believes that Montag was actually caught.
  • Montag is offered a type of potion that will change his chemical composition.
  • A random bomb is dropped on the town, which will completely destroy the town.


Questions:

  • How did they make it seem like Montag was caught? Did the guy look like him in any way?
  • Since the whole town will be destroyed does that mean the people too, including Montag?
  • Where did this bomb come from?
  • Since the bomb dropped does this end the whole story, as in no sequel to this novel?
Words:
  • incriminate(pg178)-to accuse of or present proof of a crime
  • oddities(pg 186)-an odd or remarkably unusual person, thing, or event
  • pyre(pg188)-a pile or heap of wood or other combustible material


Literary Terms:
  • "he saw ger leaning toward the great shimmering walls of color and motion .."(pg 184)-Imagery
  • ".. Build the biggest goddam steamshovel in history and dig the biggest grace of all time and shove war in and cover it."(pg 189)- Metaphor


Summary:
This novel is way better than i thought, i did not except it to be so dramatic but it was, and i really enjoyed it. Montag had alot of audacity throughout the novel and in the end it was all worth it.
