My dear teacher and my dear fellows,
How are you? What are you doing during the vacation?
I am glad to come back here again. I woud like to post something about our new book that we must read : "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury.
I read some pages from it and I can tell that I don't like it so much. It's interesting but also it's difficult to read and understand. Maybe if I read more pages I will understand its content better and the author's mesage.
As I read I discovered two characters : Guy Montag,a man of 30 years old who is a fireman for ten years.He is a minstrel man,burnt-corked with his symbolic helmet numbered 451 on his stolid head,and his eyes all orange flame.Now,I can say that he is a positive character because he is just a man after all,a good man,but as a fireman I want to mention one feature that I don't like and namely that a fireman,as we all know is one who must damp houses when they are in fire,when some accidents happen but in this book I discovered that a fireman must set fire to houses where there are books as Clarisse McClellan said too.
Another character as I have already mentioned is Clarisse McClellan,a crazy girl of seventeen years old who meets Montag and walks back with him,She is not afraid of firemen as many people are.She recognizes his job at once because of the smell of kerosene which Montag considers nothing but perfume to him.Her face is bright as snow in the moonlight.She likes to smell things and look at things and sometimes stay up all night,walking,and watch the sun rise.
I am interested in this book,in it's mesageand I will continue to read it to dicovered what will happen next and what Montag will do with his life,his happiness(because Clarisse touched his soul and his mind with the question : " Are you happy?" ),with the books,with his job,etc.
Good luck to everybody and read this book because,as I think,it reveals us the importance of the books and the reading which was so strictly prohibited in the past(when the book was written) and it so indifferent now,because our generation lost the interest in the books and reading.
Love,
Alina

Hello. my dearest bambula! I'm glad to see your post, I'm glad to discover that I'm not the only who thinks that this book is difficult.
RăspundețiȘtergereAnd I think it's really interesting, I like it's message, I like Montag's changes.
I also like Clarisse, I think she's an interesting and unusual character. She's different, peculiar, she's the first who awoke fillings in Montag.
Certainly, it's a strange book, but I'm sure we have to read it, may be it will be useful in conversations with well-read people.
And, one more thing, the events, that are described here, had never happened, it a fantastic book!!!
Hugs!! your bambulika Kate!
