You will write a minimum of three paragraphs. Read the prompt carefully and respond to what is being asked.
When Montag becomes confused by Beatty's "proof" that books contradict one another and are therefore meaningless, Faber tells Montag on the two-way radio that he must decide for himself. Faber adds, "Remember that the captain belongs to the most dangerous enemy to truth and freedom, the solid unmoving cattle of the majority. Oh God, the terrible tyranny of the majority." It is usually easiest to go along with whatever the majority of people are doing and thinking. List three examples of your personal experience and from history of "the terrible tyranny of the majority." Also, elaborate on the evidence that you provide (what was the effect of everyone going with the majority? What effect did it have on everyone else? Should people always go with the majority?). For this response, you will write a three stanza, four line poem. Your topic will be "topic of choice" (meaning you will write a poem on whatever you want to write about). Your poem must have a minimum of five words in each line and must have a rhyme scheme (ABAB meaning the first and third lines rhyme and the second and fourth lines rhyme). Be creative!! Your poem can be serious, funny, ect.
Your response will be a minimum of three paragraphs. If you write less than three paragraphs, your response will be considered incomplete.
There are many symbols in Part 1 of Fahrenheit 451. For example, the hearth, the salamander, the mechanical hound, etc. These symbols represent various things that are talked about throughout the book. What items or things represent you? Identify three items or things that symbolize who you are. For each symbol, discuss how it represents you and how that item or thing came to be a symbol for you. |
