1/26 Fahrenheit 451 pp. 110-125

Summarize: Captain Beatty tells Guy to set fire to his own house with a flame thrower. Guy then kills Beatty with it, gets hit by a car, and runs away from the cops.

Sentence: “And then he was a shrieking blaze, a jumping, sprawling gibbering manikin, no longer human or known, all writhing flame on the lawn as Montag shot one continues pulse of liquid fire on him.” I thought this was an incredibly descriptive because it used so many ways to describe Beatty as he died. Some strong words were: sprawling, writhing and pulse.
