Fahrenheit 451 Pages 117 to 165

Summary: Captain Beatty tells him that he is under arrest and finds the ear piece in his ear. He takes it from him and tells him that he is going to trace it and arrest whoever is on the other side. So Montag burns him alive. He turns and sees the hound coming to attack him. He burns the dog and runs away. He makes it to Faber's house and gets some help. He has lost the police. They turn on the TV and hear that they are releasing another hound. So he runs toward the river. On his way he puts a seashell in his ear to hear where they are looking for him at. He hears the annoucer say that in ten seconds he wants everyone to look outside and see if they can see Montag. Just before they get to ten, Montag jumps into the river. He floats downstream. He has lost the hound. He floats downriver untill his feet hit land. He walks and finds the railroad which Faber told him to follow. He sees some homeless guys and they invite him to join them. They are all of professers who have different books memorized. They are all waiting untill they can come back and write down the books. They turn on a small TV and see that they have framed another man for the murder of Captian Beatty. They start walking but hear some jets overhead and see that they have dropped bombs on the city and they know that the war that just started has ended with the destruction of the city. The guys walk toward the city to help and see what all has happened. Montag continues down the railroads tracks hoping that he will eventually meet up with Faber in St. Louis.

Response: I am really happy that Montag got away. He didn't do anything wrong. Captian Beatty was asking for it. I hope that Montag meets up with Faber and they can get some books printed. I think that life would have been a lot better if they would have allowed books.

Fahrenheit 451 Pages 83 to 116

Summary: Montag talks to Mr. Faber for awhile discussing what they are going to do to get the books back. Faber gives Montag and ear piece so they can talk to each other without being together. Faber gives it to him because he is too afraid to go with him. Montag goes home and freaks on his wife and her friends. He reads them poetry and they get mad and leave. Montag then goes to work and gives Beatty a book. They go on a call and it is his house. When they get there Mildred runs out of the house with a suitcase, gets in her car, and leaves. Montag can't believe it. He thinks about running but he knows that the dog is around and will get him.

Response: I can't believe that Mildred called Montag in. It was really stupid, because Montag was doing the right thing by saving books. She was stupid to just leave him like that. What are they going to do to get the books back?

Fahrenheit 451 Pages 53 - 82

Summary: Montag doesn't feel very good. He ants his wife to call in sick for him. While they are talking Captain Beatty pulls up to their house. He wants to talk to Montag. He knows that Montag wants to call in sick. He lestures Montag for awhile about what they do and why they do it. After he leaves Montag shows Mildred all of the books he has taken. She freaks out and tries to burn them, but Montag won't let her. He wants to try to read them but he doesn't know how to. So he calls up a man that he met in the park a long time ago. Mr. Fiber was an English teacher before he was forced to quit his job. Montag calls him and asks him a question about books and Fiber hangs up. Montag takes a bible over to his house and asks him about it.

Response: I think it is good than Montag realizes that burning books is bad. It is good for him to want to learn how to read books. I hope that he doesn't get into truble because he is doing the right thing. Why would they burn books?

Fahrenheit 451 Pages 29 - 52

Summary: Montag is unsure about being a firemen. They went to a fire and the lady who lived there wouldn't leave and burned to death. He come home and doesn't feel well, he throws up on the floor. He hasn't seen Clarisse in 4 days and his wife says that she is pretty sure she got run over by a car and died. He is starting to get upset with his wife because she doesn't seem to care about him. He starts to question what they are doing as firemen. The fire chief then shows him a handbook that says that Benjamin Franklin was the first firemen and that they are supposed to burn burn the house down, only if it has books in it. Montag thinks that they should be putting fires out instead of starting them.

Response: I think that Montag is right about putting fires out. I don't understand why they burn books and start fires. I would probably get upset with my wife to if she didn't care about anything I did. All she does is watch tv all day. Why does the firefighter handbook say that Benjamin Franklin was the first firefighter?

He says that he might be going to school next fall and he thinks he will apply himself. He says that he wishes that he didn't tell the story because when he does, he misses the people in the story.

Response: It is very good that he finally went to a place that can help him. It defiantly saved his life. I hope that he will get his life back on track and go back to school.

Catcher In The Rye Chapter 25

Summary: He goes to Grand Central Station to get some sleep and get his bags. He sleeps there until it starts to get busy and he can't put his feet up anymore. He walks around and decides to go to Phoebe's school to get her a note telling her to see him during her lunch so he can give her back her money and say goodbye. He hands the note to the secretary and makes up a story so she will give it to her without reading it. He talks to her for awhile to kill time then walks around the school. He sees some swear words written on the wall and gets mad. He goes to the spot where he told her to meet him and waits for her to come. She is late when she finally shows up and she is carrying a suitcase. She says that she is going with Holden. When he tells her no she gets mad and won't talk to him. He tells her that he isn't going anywhere and that he will take her to the zoo if she will talk to him again. When they walk to the zoo she walks on the other side of the street. As they get to the zoo the more time they spend there the closer she gets to Holden. They come upon a carousel and Phoebe wants to ride it. So Holden buys her a ticket and watches her ride it. He is so happy he thinks that he might cry.

Response: It is a good that he wants to talk to Phoebe before he goes because it tells me that he really cares for her and doesn't want to let her down. Deciding not to go was the best choice he has made since he left school. It shows that he feels a lot better when he feels like crying because he is so happy. He finally made the right choice and it is going to save his life.
