Entry 8 - My choice...

My choice...

"Montag, hold on!" The moth brushed Montag's ear. "He's muddying the waters!"
"Oh, you were scared silly," said Beatty, "for I was doing a terrible thing in using the very books that you clung to, to rebut you on every hand, on every point! What traitors books can be! You think they're backing you up, and they turn on you. Others can use them too, and there you are, lost in the middle of the moor, in a great welter of nouns and verbs and adjectives..."

This was one of the passages in the book that I thought was interesting. I also, agree with Captain Beatty. Books are not for one person alone, and can be used by people all over the world anytime, in the most unexpected times. If you used public resources such as books, then you should expect that they could have been used by other people.

Gushing enthusiasm for burning, but subdued by Clarisse,
Unlikely, and kind of man you see the least
Yes, Guy Montag, our protagonist of this piece.

Melancholic and Depressing,
Optimistic?
Not at all. Violence, despair fill our book to the brim.
Terrifying image of the future,
Antagonist tries to persuade, into his trap.
Goodness me, a flare of hope has appeared. After the war, let us hope that it will spread, and finish the book with a happy end.
