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.

Summary: Montag reads a poem from a book and makes all of the women in the parlor leave. He also brought a book to Beatty to be destroyed. They then all rush over to a house that had books that turned out to be Guy’s.

Figurative Language: On page 102, in the first paragraph it has a good simile. It was: “He searched his house and found the books where Mildred stacked them behind the refrigerator. Some were missing and he knew that she had started on her own slow process of dispersing the dynamite in her house stick by stick.”
