Standard: We will touch base on the short stories we have read so far, as well as have some time to read the next one, and to study/prep for vocab #2. We will talk about some patterns that I have noticed in the first round of VocabEssay grading and how to address them.
Honors: You should be able to answer these questions by the end of this week. We will talk about some patterns that I have noticed in the first round of VocabEssay grading and how to address them.

-Using textual evidence defend or deny Clarisse’s description of herself as “insane”.
-Bradbury states that Montag “felt his body divide”. What does this mean and find textual evidence to support your answer.
Pg. 25-50
Why does Montag feel sorry for the hound, even though it is mechanical and has no feelings? (“That’s sad...” said Montag.) What is Montag admitting about himself with this statement?
Describe the difference between Clarisse’s view of being “social” and her school’s view of being “social”. How does it serve as a contradiction to how we typically view these labels?
What reason does Clarisse have for being afraid of children her own age? How does this view mirror the overriding problem with society in F451?
Explain what the woman with the books did on her front porch when the firemen were trying to get her out of the house. By not giving them a choice, how did she retain both dignity and the ability to choose her own fate?
What is the question Montag asks Mildred that neither of them know the answer to and how is it symbolic of how his views on life are changing?
How does this quote help define Montag’s marriage? “Well, wasn’t there a wall between him and Mildred, when you came down to it? Literally not just one wall but, so far, three!”
