Fahrenheit 451 Part 3 Reflection

Now the fun part has started :) I started reading the 3rd part and I was just really into it. When they went to Montag's house and he burned his own house, then burned Beatty, and then destroyed the Hound was really exciting and the descriptions were quite amazing. I found myself very interested in the figurative language used and it just changed my whole view on the book. I also like when Montag was running away and how Ray Bradbury described how all the people opened their doors at the same time. I thought it was really sad for the innocent guy to be killed because they couldn't find Montag. It shows how cruel their government is and how much they look at public reputation. I really liked the 3rd part and maybe I will look back at the whole book because of the 3rd part. It really changed the whole book, sort of like the turning point of the book.

Fahrenheit 451 Part 2 Reflection

As I said in my recent post, I am now drawn to this book as like other books but something interesting happened. When I was reading this section, I found myself more interested in the book. Although it is still not at level with my interest for other books, I feel I am making progress and think that it will become better. I really like the part when Montag was talking about the sieve and the sand and that was sort of the first thing in the book that I could relate to. I also like the part where Montag was talking to Faber and the part in the parlor where the 2 ladies were talking because it showed what a "parlor family" really was. I thought it was stupid of Montag to pull out the book and read because the ladies might pull the alarm and it will destroy Montag. Faber is a nice character and does a lot to help Montag (as I read towards the end). I'm really starting to enjoy the book, hopefully the 3rd part will be more interesting and will help me enjoy the book better

Fahrenheit 451 Part 1 Reflection

So this is my weekly reflection that I had after reading the first part of Fahrenheit 451. I like the book, and it has a good plot and is interesting but the style of the book just really isn't what I am interested in. I absolutely love the plot about a person with an internal conflict about burning books and ends up with a dilemma after he starts taking books but how it is written just doesn't draw me into the book. I like books that are more realistic or just have less figurative language. I am not used to reading books filled with figurative language. A few similes, a few metaphors, and a few personifications are okay but when a whole page is filled with figurative language, I get bored and just don't get as attracted to the book as I should be. Don't get me wrong, I like the book as in the plot, setting, details, characters, but the deeper meaning or just the style of the book is way off of mine and I just can't think about what I am reading, therefore making me bored by it.
