1. Summarize what happens in one or two sentences.
AND
2. On your blog, copy down one sentence from this reading selection that strikes you as particularly descriptive. Which of the 5 senses does it appeal to? What verbs, adjectives, or figurative language are used and why are they effective in describing a certain action, person, or thing?

This section mainly involved the discovery that Mildred was indeed behind the report on Montag and the burning of his house. During the burning, Montag murders captain Beatty, “kills” the hound and threatens other members of the firehouse. An interesting sentence from this part was the line, “There was a crash like the falling parts of a dream fashioned out of warped glass, mirrors and crystal prisms.” It makes you feel like you can almost hear the tinkling of broken glass hitting the floor. It also creates this image of a broken mirror where everything looks strange, though moments before, it had seemed so familiar, I know you know the feeling. And last, I like it because of the hopelessness that it carries. I can feel the despair as everything that he knew comes crashing down at his feet, I can feel his dreams, because the description is so well done.
