1. Write a question about the reading. What are you confused about? If you don't get an answer on your blog, be sure to raise the question in class. Even if you do get an answer, and you think it's a good question with a good answer, bring it up in discussion.
I'm confused why the hound (robotic dog thing) wants to hurt or kill Montag, I know someone had to program him but I'm wondering who would do that if Beatty says everyones happy and blissfull?
2. Answer at least one of the following questions:
A. What does Montag mean when he says that books "point, one way or another, to Clarisse?" He means that they are a lot like her personality, different from the way they think and are very unique, unlike most of the population. The books point to Clarisse because she acts like the people from centuries ago and takes time to look at life and nature.
B. How will books get us out of "the cave?" What is the cave and how will books get us out of it?The cave is kind of the problem the world is in right now and the will get them out maybe by finding something important in the books or something usefull to help the world have freewill again.
C. What is the signfificance of the story about the sieve and the sand? There is a reference to it shortly after the story is told. Why? I got really confused when I got to this part with the sieve- I know its like a filter type thing but I'm hoping that someone can clear this up for me in discussion tomorrow...
