Literary analysis #2 Fahrenheit 451

1. What drew me to this book was my teacher Dr.Preston made us get it. I hoped that this book was going to be interesting unlike other books teachers had made me get and read.

2. What kept me reading this book was Dr.Preston telling how good the book was throughout the pages we've read, until I started reading it on my own and it actually got interesting.

3. My reading habits are read the book if I like it i will read and read and read until i just can't keep reading or my parents put me to sleep.

Montag is a starting to think for himself and is more interested in reading books instead of burning them. He is wanting to learn more in reading. He found a ex English professor named Faber. He forced Faber to help him learn more about books.
     In pages 108-110 Monrag is in the firehouse with Beatty and other comrades playing a hand of poker. All of a sudden the alarm goes on and they have to leave to do their job. They all get in the salamander and went on. Montag was confused because Beatty never drove and for some reason he was driving. Montag got dizzy until all of a sudden he realizes they are at his house.........

Fahrenheit 451 questiones

1. The inciting incident of the story that I get within the first couple of pages is the fire. I think its the fire because it gives you signs of fire showing in the very first page.

2. Yes, I think he is a hero because the syntax of the story says it like he's fighting and being courageous.

Fahrenheit 451

     The book Fahrenheit 451 is a really interesting book to read, but the words the authors uses is a little too weird for me. English has not also been easy for me so reading is not my thing. I've always had a horrible time with reading. I get sidetracked with reading.
