Caspar realized that he left his stuff outside, and wanted to go out to get them. Everyone in the house warned him to just leave it outside but he said that he needed his stuff because there were important stuff in there. The people who warned him let him go and Caspar quickly ran out to get his stuff. When he came back in, Caspar was wet from the rain. Everyone got freaked out and told Caspar to stay by the door and to not come any closer. Caspar told them that he was fine and that he didn’t feel anything from the rain. Everyone was still scared, and after a few minutes, Caspar’s skin got red and spotty. Caspar, staying at the door, started to scratch himself and his skin started to peel off. Caspar started to scream as the infected rain went deeper into his skin.
Opinion of the book so far: I still love this book. It has great tension in it and it makes you eager to read more. I would recommend this book to all my friends because it is actually really good. Also, if this actually happened we would probably know because of this book. Many teenagers would know this type of situation subtracting the natural disaster part because they go to a lot of parties if they are wilder than the

    Fire is one of the many symbols represented in Fahrenheit 451. Fire can be observed as both renewal and destruction. The biggest reference to fire is at the end of the novel when Granger explains to Montag the meaning and existence of the Phoenix. Granger explains that every few hundred years, a Phoenix will appear and burn himself to ashes. The Phoenix would then spring out from the ashes to be born again. Granger compares this reference to mankind and how it destroys himself, only to be rebuilt. The Phoenix is a symbol of renewal.…

    Thinking that maybe there was a problem, Roy and Johnny pulled their gear back out and turned back toward the house in case they were needed after all. In the chaos that followed the group rushed toward the pool house to check on the wife of the man who’d initially sent the two paramedics packing. The group pushed ahead of the two men who could offer the most help if the woman had in fact ingested some pills. The family pushed each other and the two men as they all herded around the edge of the pool. Roy had not so graciously been shoved to the left and lost his footing on the slippery side of the pool. He unceremoniously took a splash along with the drug box. Johnny had eventually made it into the fray only to find out the lady had taken a bottle of aspirin and agreed to seek advice from her personal physician. Johnny fished the drug box from the water and offered his hand to his partner, but Roy hadn’t wanted or needed his help. In a normal situation this would be a call that would be joked about and a great deal of teasing would have followed. After the past week of unrest between the two friends, the situation only seemed to add fuel to the already smoldering…

    New York Burning Book Report

    I can’t fathom how destitute and depressed the slaves were. Can you imagine what the slaves must have heard at night while locked in the basement? Or how they must have felt when their fellow conspirators, who may have played a more minor role in the revolt, were sentenced and then burned or roasted alive? I have been doing some reading in the Minutes of the Common Council of the City of New York, 1675-1776 that you had been telling me about.. I read about how City Hall had only recently been “updated” with better security. What a joke that is! They didn’t have security in that jail. I read an account about the new measures which consisted of wood studs and plaster. The plaster could not stop whispers from echoing the rooms. Either their plaster was much stronger than that of modern society or these new “cells” were not secure at all. Or maybe this shows the swiftness that the courts had in those times. Maybe the walls did not need to be better because the people locked inside would not be in them long enough to bust through. I read through several court proceeding notes and the majority of those accused were sentenced within a week. There was even an account of a young slave boy who was arrested and charged with being a runaway slave. The unique story of this boy was that he was arrested in the morning, charged in the afternoon, then publicly whipped…

    In “Fahrenheit 451,” firefighters rush to homes and start fires, rather than prevent them. Ray Bradbury’s story depicts a futuristic society where fire has become the matter of a significant dispute. On one side, fire is seen as almost a cleansing tool used to purify the thoughts of ordinary citizens by protecting them from reading “dangerous” works of writing by burning all copies of forbidden books. The government tells its people that reading books would be terrible for the common good but truly know that allowing people to read books would lead to the people’s questioning of the government’s authority. From an opposite perspective, however, fire is a destructive tool used by the government to…

    I am against book burning because books are full of knowledge and information and we should not want to burn that. Books are defined as freedom of press and knowledge. We should ban stuff about drugs, sex and alcohol. We should censor what are children watch and listen to but, if we censor too much stuff then they won’t be ready for the real world. If they go out into the real world after there parents censored so much stuff the won’t know how to respond to everything that is happening around them. Censorship helps to keep society safe. I think all of the hateful content should be blocked. If censoring was gone there would be an increase in bullying and there would be fewer suicides around the world.…
