Discuss three different uses of symbolism and imagery in the book, "Fahrenheit 451." Post a picture of this image with each description.


A use of imagery in the book Fahrenheit 451 is when Montag was talking about the mechanical hound and said The Mechanical Hound slept but did not sleep, lived but did not live in its gently humming, gently vibrating, softly illuminated kennel back in a dark corner of the firehouse.







A use of symbolism is when they use the pheonix in the book because the pheonix is a symbol of great importance.

A final use of symbolism in the book is the title Fahrenheit 451. It's title is the temperature at which paper burns.

Civil Liberties are when the rules are to harsh for no reason such as a curfew for minors when nothing has happened. Such as if there was a 10 o clock curfew for a town when nothing bad has happened in the town due to underage minors. Or when the government starts taking rules too far, such as if a speed limit is 45 MPH and someone is going 46 MPH. I still understand that they are going over the speed limit but its by 1 MPH, they shouldn't give the person a ticket if they are paying attention to the road but if they aren't paying attention and they are goin 1 MPH over then they should pull them over for going over the speed limit but they should mainly get in trouble for not paying attention to the road.

Blog 3 Rob Legato/Awe

Today in class we watched a movie about a special effects directer named Rob Legato. He has did movies such as Titanic, Apollo 13, and the great movie Avatar which is said to have a sequel coming out.Rob Legato is also helping with a movie called battle angel which they dont know when it will come out, and the other movie he is working on is The Wolf of Wall Street which is supposed to come out 2013.

“I hate a Roman named Status Quo!" he said to me. "Stuff your eyes with wonder," he said, "live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. Ask no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. And if there were, it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day every day, sleeping its life away. To hell with that," he said, "shake the tree and knock the great sloth down on his ass.”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
