We will take the F451 Section 2 test Monday. F451 Section #3 and final questions posted below.

10H
We watched one of a previous year's project "making of" video and will begin to talk about the details of the replication project.  GC guiding questions posted below.  You will be turning in your GC book on Monday next week, but we will not take the test immediately so there may still be some opportunity to read in class.  No guarantees though.

Below you will find continued guiding reading questions for both F451 and The Glass Castle

F451 continued guiding questions.  These cover Section #3 of F451.

How does what Mrs. Phelps say about her husband going off to war a perfect example of what is wrong with this society?

What do the different views on children between Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Bowles imply about the priorities and values of many in this society.

Reread the “Dover Beach” poem. Why does this poem make Mrs. Phelps cry? Base your answer on textual evidence and logical inferences.

Describe the dream Beatty tells to Montag and use textual evidence to suggest why this upsets Montag so much.

Reread the passage on page 116 where Montag realizes that Beatty wanted to die. Using the text for evidence, rationalize why you believe this to be true.

How is Montag different now that he has killed Beatty?  Beside the obvious, what seems to have changed in how he views himself and the world? His final trip to Faber's house is a good starting spot.

What do the things going through Montag's mind as he tries to escape the hound tell us about him and his new purpose in life?

Why is the river so important?  What does he hope to find on the other side?

What is the significance of the group of travelers that Montag unites with?  What sacrifices have they made and for what reason?

Although it involves a great loss of life, what is the final hopeful thought that still exists even after great destruction takes place?

10 Honors

Glass Castle continued guiding questions:

1. Explain the realization that is taking shape between Lori and Jeannette as illustrated from pg. 67-70. Specifically, what unwritten rule are they starting to question and why does it matter to the family as a whole?

2. Why does Rex tell Jeannette that she is his favorite of the kids? Specifically, what reasons do Lori and Brian have for losing faith in their father?

3. As sad and run down as Battle Mountain is and as quickly as life seems to be spiraling downward, why is Jeannette sad to be leaving for Phoenix?

4. Explain Rex’s rant on pg. 104-105 and how it illustrates the overarching problem with how he approaches life.

5. Why does Rex begin drinking again right before they leave Phoenix for West Virginia?

6. Rex is obviously intelligent and has the ability to do a lot of things that would make him quite employable. Rose Mary can teach. They also have ownership of the big adobe house in Phoenix and all of the possessions inside of it. Despite all of these “positives” why can’t Rex and Rose Mary provide a stable, secure, “normal” life for their kids? As a whole, what does Jeannette seem to think is missing from life for her parents? Relate the quote from the end of pg. 61 to this philosophy.
