Fahrenheit 451 pgs. 68-80
Q. Write a question about the reading. What are you confused about? If you don't get an answer on your blog, be sure to raise the question in class. Even if you do get an answer, and you think it's a good question with a good answer, bring it up in discussion.A. Who's the Professor, Faber? Is he a character that will be played out more throughout the book, or is he just someone who gets mentioned in that short scene?
Q. What does Montag mean when he says that books "point, one way or another, to Clarisse?"
A. I think what Montag means is that you can take one way, or the other. The route, where you get pursuaded by a book. You believe you can express yourself in any way you want to make you happy. Live your life the way you want to live it. Be different. Or you can take the other route, where you feel secluded, and feel unable, and you feel as if you're under a watchful eye. Dull and boring.

*ahem* My fellow colleague. After my recent overview of your dissertation, I have discovered that your question was about the same as mine. I too encountered the same predicament and I quite enjoyed your piece.
I specifically appreciated your sentence where you said, "The route, where you get persuaded by a book.". Because a book is not actually a route, this appealed to me greatly. That sentence was an example of a great use of figurative language.
I have minimal constructive criticism because this treatise was very well thought out. I believe that possibly you could elaborate further on your second answer. Your response was great, but I had a vague understanding of the "second route". Other than that, great job!
