Claim: Conspiracy theorists say that the holes made at the pentagon were much to small to fit a large Boeing 757 airplane. The holes were 16 feet across. The argument that the conspiracy theorists propose is how is it possible that a 125 foot wide and 155 foot long plane could fit into a hole only 16 feet across.
Fact: The fact states that the initial hole made was 90 feet wide and that the measurments that the Building performance report took said that the hole said by conspiracy theorists that was 16 feet wide was only because the building had crumbled 19 minutes after the crash which was obviously enough time to take measurements. The fact also states the fact that how could the winspan of 124 foot 10 inches wide fit into a 90 foot hole?. Well they say that an eye whitness named Frank Probst saw the crash and said that the two wings were destroyed by the power generator not too far from the pentagon.
Anaylisis: Well in my opinion i think that the claim would be the best way to go for two reasons. First the fact said that the building had crumbled 19 minutes after the crash which means they wouldnt have had enough time to measure themselves so were did they get the number 90 feet.? The final reason is their eye whitness Frank Probst, i mean the fact said that he dove out of the way right? So how is it possible to dive and be looking at the wings at the same time.?

Q: Summarize what happens in one or two sentences.
A: I think that this part was a very interesting one in fact I rather much enjoyed it more than the rest of the book. Well Montag was caught with some books in his house and because your not allowed to have books he had to burn his house down and out of anger and retaliation he burned beatty to death.
Q: 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: The sentence i found most interesting was : "The Books leapt and danced like roasted birds, their wings ablaze with read and yellow feathers." I thought this was interesting because the red and yellow birds described the colors of the fire and saying that they were flying described the sparks of the fire.

What I Most Enjoy
The large green grassy feild with beautiful white lines across it almost as a pinstriped suite, is very appealing to me just like a sun setting on the horizon of the ocean. When I first hear the large seats filled with excited fans reminds me of a bunch of barbarians roaring for their team to win and these barbarians' team were the almighty Balboa Raiders... The whistle to begin the game gives me the largest rush of adrenaline as the church bells to the Nuns. The contact is the best part in the game especially when you know you have just made a great play you dont wanna stop. Did you guess it? I enjoy Football!!!

Q: Faber jokingly proposes a plan of action and then starts to discuss it seriously with Montag. What is the plan of action? More importantly, why does he say it won’t work? Analyze his answer. Why won't it work?
A: Faber says it won’t work for two reasons. 1: No one can set the fires. The second reason is that you cant trust anyone else. I think it would work because If you have books no matter your occupation your home should be burnt down.

Q: Write a question about the reading. What are you confused about?
A: I did not understand why Professor Fabor hung up on Montag when he asked him about the books and how many copies were left...? I mean he was asking a simple question.
Q: What does Montag mean when he says that books "point, one way or another, to Clarisse?"
A: I think that Montag compares Clarisse to Books because Clarisse is always talking about the past and is always give her thoughts and i deas. She is also very informative and most books have the same characteristics as Clarisse.

1. Captain Beatty tells Montag that firemen are the “happiness boys” and that they are custodians of “our piece of mind.”
This part of the story was when Montag was having doubts about his job and if he was doing the right thing by being a fireman. That is why Captain Beatty came to his house to clear things up for him and convince him that their job helps others in a great way. Beatty tells Montag that the greatest thing anyone could ever get out of life is happiness. Therefore, a job of a fireman is to make everyone happy. Beatty said, "Colored people don't like Little Black Sambo. Burn it. White people don't feel good about Uncle Tom's Cabin. Burn it." Basically, captain beatty just wanted guy to burn all his books.
