Fahrenheit 451 Lit Circle
My section was to research and make 2 open prompt essay questions. Here they are:
1. In the "Sand and Sieve" section of Fahrenheit 451 Faber tells Montag that he believes three things are necessary in order for books to be able to make a difference in society. In a well-developed essay, discuss whether or not you agree with his assessment? Support your answer with anecdotal evidence from the novel as well as your personal life. You must specify what Faber's "three things" are.

2. Fahrenheit 451 is about burning books, why is this book then known as a Classic in English classes? What is the significance? Use 3 literary elements to help your reasoning.
3.Bradbury broke the book up in three sections, how are the names of each section important to the book and why should they be emphasized when reading?

First Quarter Review
A) This semester so far I feel like I have been on top on my assignments. This week is the only week I have gotten a little behind. Having long weekends is not helping.
B) This next quarter I plan to work on my senior project with Rheanna and Amanda. We are very excited about going back to our old school and sharing wisdom with younger kids. I expect myself to be hard working as ever and keep my best foot forward. I want to have our senior project perfected and get ready to present.
C) What I have seen this course is that it is either to breathe. Probably because we have gotten use to the course. But what I can say is that I have been taking it seriously and like to see more AP prep as well as senior project work. I really enjoy this semester a lot.
