1/29 Fahrenheit 451 pp. 126-137

“He looked down the boulevard. It was clear now. A car full of children, all ages. God knew, from twelve to sixteen whistling, yelling, hurrahing, had seen a man, a very extraordinary sight, a man strolling, a rarity, and simply said, “Let’s get him,” not knowing he was the fugitive Mr. Montag, simply a number of children out for a long night of roaring five or six hundred miles in a few moonlit hours, there faces icy with wind, and coming home or not coming at dawn, alive or not alive, that made the adventure.”

I found this paragraph very interesting because it struck me how the kids acted. It was unusual how the kids didn’t care what happened. I also noticed the many spelling and grammatical errors such as no and after a list with commas. Also he says that the kids traveled 500 or 600 miles in a few moonlit hours the would have to be going 150-300 miles an hour to make that trip, no were does he ever say they are going that fast, the fasted he said was 130 mph.
