WE EAT SOCIAL MEDIA FOR BREAKFAST

First of all I really enjoyed reading the article and I was going to proof read but once I started to read the first four paragraphs I started to get into it more and more and so by the time I checked what time it is I saw that i was getting to the end. So the tone of it was formal serious and also it seemed like that the author was showing a message and other stuff. The way the author used diction and syntax was very unique because he explain about how our generations changed a lot over time. For example he said "Pictures aren’t the same now as when I was a kid, anymore than a song on Pandora is "the same" as "the same song" on a vinyl album" and I agree with him on that on how back then they had big music records and then to musics on radios and now to apps that has all types of genre musics to listem to.

ESSAY

So there was 3 prompts to choose from and so I chose the 3rd prompt. The prompt was to explain on how Dr. Preston uses language and rhetorical devices on his essay that he did on about Fahrenheit 451 and reading and so that's what I'm about to do.
I didn't read the entire essay, I only proofed read it and it seemed like most of the paragraphs had some bits of important stuff. For example, in the beginning paragraph he started off with a strong sentence which was "we should read the same books more than once" and I agree because we just finished reading Fahrenheit 451 and I need to read it one more time because there's parts I'm a bit confused on and so maybe if I read it again I would understand it more. Even though I just proofed read the essay I enjoyed and laughed on some parts because Preston included little part of his childhood and also about Taco Bell that if you eat that everyday you can get diabetes and that no one wants that. Dr. Preston then started to compare the book and author with other famous people. Also he started saying about hands and that Montag couldn't control his hands and that it seemed like it had its kind of its own and that it's dangerous.

A STEP AHEAD OF THE HOUND


  1. Montag went to the Blacks house and he to go hide books 
  2. Faber has problems of his own while the war is on and so he doesn't really notice it that much
  3. Faber's TV is really small and its placed behind a picture
  4. On the TV it showed that they still looking for Montag and that they sent out a new mechanical hound 
  5. He was running to the river and was trying to find the other writers

THE CHASE IS ON


  1. The hound attacked Montag because Beatty was the one who sent the hound to Montag 
  2. Montag defended himself by aiming the flamethrower at the hound and burned it 
  3. Montag had realized that Beatty wanted to die 
  4. Montag was going to Faber's house 
  5. The beetle car was moving faster than he could 

RUN MONTAG RUN

I think that the book will end by Montag trying to run away by the cops after the murder of Beatty and maybe he might get away and not get caught or he might get caught or maybe something else can happen in the end.

QUESTIONS ANSWERS

1. Ray Bradbury started the novel that way because he trying to say that the world is fine and that he is immediately trying to capture the readers into the story.
2. Books are compared to birds and so that is a symbol on how books can do to our minds and also it's a symbol on how books are freedom.
3. Clarisse is a curious person and that always want to learn new things, while Montag let things flow and he doesn't even question anything
4. Technology doesn't improve Montags life and also there was some parts where it made it seem like it helped Montags life better. Also there was another part and it showed how empty the technology was in Montags life.
5. The narrator introduces Montag at this time of his to show the conflict of the story.
6. Clarisse gets introduced before  Mildred and so that's when the rising action begins and is probably the most important part of this story.
7. The houses would be fire proof  for safety by the firemens and also when they burn a house it won't be on fire except for the books.
8. Mildred needed emergency service because she overdosed and so Montag called the paramedics and they had 2 machines which was to clean her stomach.

WHAT I SEE IN LITERATURE

For the Great Gatsby I see love and dissatisfaction. For Prufrock I see love and time. We chose those for the Great Gatsby because in the story he was in love with Daisy and he wanted to get her back and also dissatisfaction because Gatsby had all this money and he didn't care about that but the one thing he did care about was Daisy. Also we chose love for Prufrock because in the poem it's not clear if he's in love with the person he's talking with and also time because he talks about the future and the past a lot and not the present that much.

POEM


In Chapter 3
You will see
There was rumors of Gatsby
Also he threw a party
That he killed someone
Nick got invited 
At the party he didn't know no one
He was delighted 
Jordan & Gatsby talked privately 
As Nick waited by his library 
Saw Daisy's friend 
Saw Gatsby in the end 
Many people didn't get a invitation 
They walked in like it was an invasion

MUSIC AS LITERATURE

I think that music can be considered as literature because the lyrics of a music is like telling a story by the person and on how the that person expresses it with sound and making it rhythm. Also if you search up the definition of literature it is written work that's how music is too.
