ESSAY

OPTION 1: Describe the difference in Ray Bradbury's tone with regard to Clarisse & Beatty. Support your analysis with examples of Bradbury's diction and detail.

The difference of tone that Ray Bradbury's use regard with Clarisse and Beatty is that one is talk about that she might seem crazy but she is a genuine innocent curious person,while Beatty is an asshole. Other might say that there are similar since they talk about the old things that use to happen they had knowledge about the past so they would share these things with Montag. When Clarisse is talking with Montag she questions him about things that she has heard from her uncle just asking silly questions like a child and dreaming. While Beatty like to give smart ass response when talking to Montag that he knew more than Montag and that Montag shouldn't ask or think about the past. Clarisse is a person who you would talk good about since you like her personality, while Beatty is douche bag who you talk bad about and to let people know what kind of person he is.

When Bradbury talks about Clarisse the tone changes a lot from calm to scary, because Clarisse isn't seen as being normal in that time she is consider dangerous for thinking on her own free will and she is also being watched. For example it seem that most people wouldn't go up to Montag since he is a fireman, but Clarisse does it anyways and starts asking him questions which would be bad like telling a cop you commit a crime since firemen were like cops in that time. After they have their talk it makes Montag think about his past and what he has done up till now which makes him question everyday and gets sad and scary cause of meeting Clarisse. For example when Montag was with Mildred and they talked about how long ago did they meet and other stuff that Clarisse made him think about then he starts to cry. Also how Bradbury describes that Montag is glad to talk with Clarisse since she did open his mind but then Montag asks for her Mildred didn't care didn't show emotions and just said maybe she died who knows doesn't matter,but it did matter to Montag and he was sad and worried like did she really died and why and how asking questions shows us diction and details about the event and tones are changed.

In the other hand Beatty is an asshole who only care about himself. Also when Bradbury talks about Beatty the tone changes you get a bad vibe from Beatty that he has secrets and the details about his looks and knowledge that he has about the past. For example when Montag is sick and Beatty comes by to pay a visit but Beatty already knows what Montag has and just wants to scare Montag and tells him that it happens all the time but keeps telling Montag to go to work amd tells him that he will be miss but he was just being sarcastic. For example when Beatty makes Montag and drive the salamnder and they end up to Montag house and then Beatty tells him that he is arrest and tells him crap about Clarisse and what she cause him to do and calls him a fool and other things for thinking on his own, then finds out that Montag has an ear piece talking to someone and tells Montag that they will find whoever it is and punish them too. Beatty was a bully and harassed Montag the tone was serious and evil intentions which cause Montag to kill Beatty then we all felt good when this happen, because he doesn't like it when douche bags get what they deserved. 

In conclusion Bradbury has a difference of tone between each characters and the most difference is Clarisse and Beatty. They are totally opposite of each other and the tone they have is different from each other. The diction and detail he gives theses character are good, because you can relate it to an actual person like them.Most people will like the best for Clarisse and want to help her out or just talk to her since she seems the type of person wjo you can be yourself and she won't judge you. In the other hand Beatty would be rude to you and judge you and doesn't sound like a pleasant person to talk to or be yourself around him. Bradbury gives diction and details that allows us to heard the tone of the characters Clarisse and Beatty are different.

Why or why not?

college fair

The college fair was a good learning experience and I learned some new stuff. The cost of attending out of state colleges are really expensive but they really have great programs. They are ranked pretty high and also that some allow you to go in as undeclared. Some are big colleges but have small class room size and great resources, but i thought we weren't given enough time to fully go to each one and talk about the colleges because of how crowd it was or some colleges left. However it was still a good experience

WHAT I SEE IN LITERATURE

"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.” 
 This is to tell Nick that don't judge people by their appearance , because you don't know how they grew up and weren't fortunate as others. Nick doesn't judge people that much except for Gatsby on his life style and the way he behave, but like him he was an alright person for Nick and Gatsby was a person that Nick really wasn't annoy with and so after Nick getting to know Gatsby he liked him.

FAHRENHEIT 451

At first I didn't think I would like this book but the more I read I enjoy the book the author is very descriptive of the details. You could picture what he is talking about and make a scene very thrilling without having to make it a big climax it could be small and it will still be very thrilling. Also on what he has about the technology is pretty cool and amazing on how he could have imagine all of that before they were invent or before they are invent. Also how the book that world and reality are opposite that how it seems to me and they are still some similarities. The girl catches my attention on how she is curious about a lot of things. but it a bad thing and how she made the fireman have emotion and start asking the same questions he was asked by the girl. When he thought she was weird asking those type of questions. She made him think about his life and what was going on the world.

CAN WE WATCH THE MOVIE

I think we should, because we can compare the book and the movie to see how the director want to describe his way or the author vision. To compare our imagination and the actual visual and see how they are similar and different. To see what we didn't hear in the book and the characters expression.

GATSBY CHAPTER 4

1) What "truth" does Gatsby tell Nick in this chapter

What Gatsby tell Nick is about where he grew up and his past life and what he has done and the way how he got his fortune. However he also left out some stuff which made it sound suspicious. Also to clear out the rumors that are said about him and to let him know who he really is and not to thing bad about him. So he doesn't sound believable because he left out somethings and went through fast.


2.)What "truth" does Jordan tell Nick?  Do you believe either one?  Why/why not?
The Truth that Jordan tell Nick is the conservation that her and Gatsby had during the party. It was that Gatsby likes Daisy and wants to get in touch with her again. Since Gatsby and Daisy fell in love with each other before but end up with Tom after Gatsby left for the war. However Daisy stays loyal even though Tom hasn't. However it is known that Jordan cheats and is dishonest so it hard to believe her, but then again it about her friend so I don't think she would be that mean with her friend. So i would believe Jordan than Gatsby.

EVERYTHING IS A REMIX

MUSIC AS LITERATURE

Yes we can because music describe the tone and theme and the same thing that literature does but in a different format but still the same thing. We are using literature to describe something novels are meant to be read to find something from reading like new things and something new this is an old literature that is still use for many decades but the newest literature that we have now is rap that mostly is associated with the youth because the youth can relate to it more than reading novels. Most kids listen to rap and hear all the lyric verse and feel the tone of the rapper and the theme too.
