Fahrenheit 451 pgs. 110-125

Q. Summarize what happens in one or two sentences.
A. What happened is that Beatty led Montag to his own house, which was next to be burned down. Beatty knew about the books that he had stored. The hound dog had been snooping around his home. Mildred also ran away. She had called a cab, and had left right when Montag came. Montag burned down his house, and he was so angry, that he threw a flame thrower, and he lit Beatty on fire. Beatty dies, and Montag becomes a fugitive. He tries to make it to Faber's house.

Q. On your blog, copy down one sentence from this reading selection that strikes you as particularly descriptive. Which of the 5 senses does it appeal to? What verbs, adjectives, or figurative language are used and why are they effective in describing a certain action, person, or thing?
A. "It made a single leap into the air, coming down at Montag from three feet over his head, it's spidered legs reaching, the procaine needles snapping out it's angry tooth. Montag caught it with a bloom of fire, a single wondrous blossom that curled in petals of yellow and blue and orange about the metal dog, clad it in a new covering as it slammed into Montag and threw him ten feet back against the bole of a tree, taking the flame gun with him."
I chose this passage because it stuck out. I liked the many adjectives and verbs that were used. For example, "a bloom of fire, a single wondrous blossom that curled petals of yellow and blue and orange about the metal dog." That was very descriptive. While I was reading this, I could actually feel the hound jump on me, like how it did to Montag. I felt how hard it hit, that it would actually throw a person ten feet back against a tree.
