  2. Reading Check (Burning Bright pt. 1) Answer each question in a single, complete sentence. Each question is worth one point. • As the salamander arrives, who walks out of Guy Montag’s house? • What happens to Captain Beatty?

  3. Reading Check (Burning Bright pt. 1) Answer each question in a single, complete sentence. Each question is worth one point. • As the salamander arrives, who walks out of Guy Montag’s house? • What happens to Captain Beatty?

  4. Reading Check (Burning Bright pt. 2) Answer each question in a single, complete sentence. Each question is worth one point. • Where has Montag hidden “The Book of Ecclesiastes”? • What happens to Montag’s city?

  5. Homework • Read and annotate “Happiness Is a Warm iPhone” by Charles Yu • Define the circled words as you read, then check your definitions before including them with your answers (2 points) Reading Responses: Please use textual evidence from the article and Fahrenheit 451 for each question. • How does this article connect to Mildred? (3 points) • How does this article connect to Faber’s manifesto? (3 points)

  6. Reading Check (The Sieve and the Sand) Answer each question in a single, complete sentence. Each question is worth one point. • Faber is retired. What was his job? • Where does the fire truck stop at the end of Part Two?

  7. Do Now: • What happened last class? • How can we connect the character bracket to Fahrenheit 451?

  8. Faber’s Manifesto (with comments) • Manifesto – an argument of policy (how things should be/will be) • Plenty of problems in this world, but Faber knows what the society needs. • These changes will help people recognize the flaws in their systems of life NOTE: This is not Faber.

  9. Faber: 1. Quality Example? • Things need texture – this world is too sterile! • “The good writers touch life often. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her. The bad ones rape her and leave her for the flies.” – 83 • Literature is confrontational • Confrontation is actually a GOOD thing! How do we know?

  10. Rivers: READ QUALITY BOOKS!

  11. Faber: 2. Leisure • Not time off, but time to think! • Faber fears the screens and constant stimuli • Screens and stimulation dulling the mind • NOTE: Screens CAN offer the right type of thinking… they just don’t. Example?

  12. Rivers: Just go out and think!

  13. Faber: 3. The right to carry out actions based on what we learn Example? • Books change us! Books teach us! We should start to incorporate these changes into our lives! • Montagembodies this principle • People don’t read anymore because they don’t realize that books can change people

  14. Why does Faber have such influence on Montag? • Select three qualities to describe each character • They are almost complete opposites • Foils – opposite characters to highlight contrast! • Challenge one another to achieve new heights (note: “new” does not always mean good!)

  15. This is some old school philosophy! Georg Hegel (19th c. German philosopher) and the dialectic • THESIS + ANTITHESIS = SYNTHESIS (argument) + (counterargument) = (new argument) • What do we see on pages 102-103?

  16. What synthesis is created by our foils? Let’s figure it out! Due Tuesday – Hegelian Dialectic (8 points) Three paragraphs, use specific evidence from the text Who is Character A? (2) Who is Character B? (2) What synthesis is created? So what? (4)

  17. Homework: Finish Section 2 In addition to reading “The Sieve and the Sand” you should also be able to answer the following questions: • What is a sieve? How does it relate to Montag? • Where does Montag go after he leaves Faber’s house? What happens there? • Where is Montag (physically) at the end of the section?

  18. Remember: Science fiction critiques the present through the future

  19. Remember: Science fiction critiques the present through the future

  20. Remember: Science fiction critiques the present through the future

  21. Symbols as foils! ?  Salamander Phoenix

  22. Mythically speaking… • The salamander has a (mythically) high tolerance for heat • The phoenix is consumed by its own flames and then reborn PASSIVE ACTIVE

  23. We end up with the difference between passive and active creatures • Passive – to be a receiver • Active – to be a doer • The phoenix is the rebirth of society –the dystopia is gone and the utopia can begin • Let’s look at page 157-158—how does this portray an active life? • Are books active or passive?
