1. The chapeter title “The hearth of a Salamder” is connecting Montags home life and work. Basically what this is means is that at his job he is a fire fighter know to put off fires and at home everything is cold nothing is warm and cozy like home should feel.
2.It was a pleasure to burn. It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see thingsblackened and changed” this line basically explains how unhappy Montag is with his life. His work is the only place where he doesn’t feels lonely , unhappy, unlike his home who always feels lonely, cold, and depress full.
3. By Montag comaparin a water hose to a great Python is a negative comparison because basically a water hose is known for helping out with fires and watering plants bringing everything back to life, when in the other hand a python is venomous and spreads venom everywhere.
4.The significance of the number 451 on Montag’s healment is symbolic because it represents the temperature on which paper burns.
5. Clarisse is described at the beginning of the chapter as a very happy girl who always finds her self out of things.
6. Clarisse is a girl who loves books and the other Montag puts books on fire even though he knows it’s against the law. Overall the difference is that Clarisse loves books and Montag doesn’t.
7.Clarisse asked Montag if he is he happy, but then he starts laughing and she questions him that what is he laughing at, but he has no response. His reaction is weird.
8. Three odd things about Clarisse and Montag is that first of all Montag likes to burn books , when Clarisse likes to read them, also Clarisse likes to go hiking during the nights, and is always happy, when Montag doesn't and has to fake his smile. Clarisse likes to have conversations with others, and Montag doesn't.
9. A simile that Montag uses to describe Clarisse when he first met her was " she had a very thin face like the dial of a small clock seen faintly in a dark room in the middle of a night..." by this we can tell that Clarisse is calm, quiet, and informative. But also that there's a sense of great danger coming "further darkness". Also he refers to her as "the news sun" because she is full of happiness.
10. Montag thinks that Clarisse is very happy, and talkative since she made him think a lot about himself at the time of finding answers to her questions, after she leaves him for the first time.
11.Seashells in the story are headphones which Montag's wife uses to fall to sleep. Whom bring music, news, entertainment not just to her but everyone in the city.
12. The author introduced Clarisse before Mildred because even though she is Montag's wife she has very little impact in his life, unlike Clarisse who has made Montag think and change his perspective about life and what he needs to stop doing wrong with his life. Clarisse is the first voice that makes Montag challenge and address the issues with his life and marriage.
13.Mildred attempts to commit suicide, and attendants come to save her life with a machine to pump out the toxins of her body. Then Montag sees it like the machine having an eye that is inserted into her body. The significance of the machine is representing the constant vigilance of the government into the souls and minds if the people.
14.Montag's comment "nobody knows anyone" means that no one knows the true colors of a person until you really get to meet them.
15.Clarisse house has lights on all the time because his family likes to sit down and talk, compares to Montag's house who is always cold, dark, and dippersful. Montag starts thinking how it feels to be in a warm, welcoming home rather than getting to his who is feels like a tomb, and has very little communication with his wife.
16. Montag's state of confusion when he says " I don't know anything anymore" represents Montag being under stress, many things going around him, that has him totally confused and frustrated.
17. When Mildred wakes up she doesn't knows what had happened to her and she assumes it was just a hang over. So she wakes up really hungry and denies the truth that Montag is telling her about what had happened.
18. Clarisse goes to the psychiatrist because they want to know why she goes in a hike in the forest, likes to watch the birds, and collects butterflies.
19.When Montag greets the mechanical hound , it responded by growling at him, which is an unusual response since the hound was a tool of his trade.
20. The woman wanted to die with her books to voice her opposition to the practice of burning books. This incident has a negative effect in Montag since it was the first time he saw a human victim.

Breaking the Law
It’s wrong to break the law when you know that the action your doing it’s wrong ,but you still decide to do it. That would be a wrong thing to do because for a reason there’s laws to stop us from doing wrong actions that might affect others. There’s times when it’s right to break the law when there’s something unfair going on that we know it’s not wrong like the law sees it.

Story of my Life
One day I was walking with my friends to our house, when out of nowhere this guy runs across us and we just heard the security outside of gate scream to us to come back in because there was a guy running away from the police. We ran back and we saw how the police arrested the guy who had a pocket knife in possession. At this point I was really tripping out because the guy literally passed in front of me and I know he could of done something or grab someone to use as his defense. It was weird how this just happened in a matter of seconds on a normal day, were I'm normally doing the same things, like walking home with my friends.

Quotes
The quote “ rather than love, than money , than fame, give me truth” for me this quote mean that before any other those things I rather have truth. I wouldn’t like someone coming to me and lying to me saying they love and care when they really don’t and all they trying to do is make me think they care just for me to be there for them. This quote for me falls into society.
Another quote is “ the price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it” this quote takes a important role for me since I’ve been through an experience that thaught me many things. For example we shouldn’t always try to do everything to try to be good with someone if that someone is not putting the same amount of effort to be with you. This quote also for me falls into society.
This quote “is not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.”Badicaly this quote means that the way someone dresses or looks like it’s what defines them as a person, because someone can look like a bad person Thad always doing bad things but once you get to know that’s when you see what that person truly is. This quote also falls into society.

What’s next for me ?
Through out this course what I’ve learned so far is that we all have a very important role in life that no one should be trying to quiet us. For example, we read an essay called Self-reliance which basically talks about how no one has the right to pick our future but ourselves. Also, no one becomes what others tells me them to be, because in real life no one knows exactly what the other person is going to be. Like honestly not even we know how our future is going to be it’s all going to depend on how we decide to make our way through life. What’s next for me in life is try to reach all my goals and dreams and don’t let anyoone stop from accomplishing them.Also I, need to get myself to start posting more on my blog!!

Emerson’s Essay
What Emerson’s essay tried to inform us by the way the thesis and the tittle “Self-reliance” was stated is that we all as humans have the freedom to decide for ours elves and it’s not anyone’s else’s choice to decide for any other individuals future.
Through out the essay Emerson’s presented to us in many ways how sometimes people let others influce them at the time of trying to speak up or making a decision. He well said how some people just go with what others say. For example , if someone is being bullied and you are aware of it, he states how easy someone can stay quiet and follow the crowd instead of speaking up for what it’s right. He explained to us how easy it is just to let things go just because someone else said so, instead of gaining bravery and speaking up for yourself.
What I understood about the essay is that beasically we were all born with our distinct characteristics and freedom of rights. A lot, of people have a low self esteem and and don’t do much about themselves. In some cases people that are not okay with themselves let others decide and tell them what to do even if he or she doesn’t like it and doesn’t agree. At the end of the day all they are trying to do is be acceptable to others even if that means you being unhappy with whatever is it that you are doing with your life. Like Emerson’s said this is not right no one can decide for ourselves we all have the freedom of being and doing whatever makes us happy and it doesn’t necessarily means that we are always going to agree and have the same beliefs or opinions as others.
A quote that he gave us that basically represent how life goes is “ most men gamble with her, and gain all, and lose all, as her wheel rolls”. What’s this quote means for me is that basically no one is born with their future already made for themselves. We as humans have to work hard for our future and make our way through life with life with our own beliefs and perspectives.We all select our own future it depends in us if that desperately waited future I’d going to be good or bad.It’s all going to depend on us on how we decide to make our way through life and not in what others tell u that you that your future is going to be.
All in all, we all came into a conclusion that no matter how hard it gets through life we shouldn’t let others decide for our lives. Honestly we shouldn’t let other have the hang of our life because that’s why it’s called “ our life” everyone can decide for themselves and not let others influence them. Clearly the whole point of Emerson writing the essay is to inform anyone reading it that no one can decide our future but our own very self.
