You must respond with three paragraphs. You will not receive credit if you do not write three paragraphs.
Your response should be detailed (elaborate). As this science fiction novel opens, the main character, Guy Montag, is thinking about the excitement of being a fireman. He is going home after midnight, and the streets are deserted. There seems to be a tone of menace about the streets. Even though this is a futuristic novel, how different is this scene on a dark street from that same scene in our times? Imagine a conversation you might have with a family member who was awake when you arrived home late at night, as Montag did. Describe your feelings of being afraid while walking home alone to a friend. You MUST write three paragraphs to receive full credit and two paragraphs will earn a 70. Anything less than two paragraphs will not receive credit.
We have learned about a Dystopian Society and censorship. Pretend you are a leader of this type of society. What is one thing that you would censor? Why is it important to you to censor this item or thing? Explain why you would censor this item or thing and give three pieces of evidence that supports why this thing or item is being censored (you cannot censor books, since this is something that we talked about in class). This prompt is a narrative prompt. You will write a minimum of three (3) paragraphs in your response. Make sure to include evidence to support your thoughts and ideas.
