NO GUTS NO GLORY

I think Montag's decision to read books was with the risk, because he gets to learn things, and have more knowledge than everyone else. He get's to explore his mind and find more new personal interest. He is going to be set free from that dystopia, everyone there is like controlled and they don't have a social life.  Montag gets to experience stuff others are not going to get the chance to do.

JOURNAL 4/13/20

During this pandemic, it's been really different. Before we used to not pay attention to what we touched or even did. Now I can see that we are all being more careful on who we are around with and what we touch.  This pandemic has brought us more knowledge, and has made us more careful of our surroundings. I feel like after this is all over, people aren't going to be the same anymore, they are going to be scared to get near people. I feel like now that this happened they are now learning how it affects all of us. We are learning how to work as a team right now. It is kind of crazy how all of this changed so fast, without a warning or anything. Never would we have ever thought that in 2020 we would all be stuck at home quarantined scared to even go out. It's pretty scary seeing it on the news all the time, and seeing the deaths rise each day.

THE GLORY OF THE MISTAKE

When we make mistakes we think of it as a bad thing, but in reality when we make mistakes we learn from them.  We learn on the things we need to work on, and the things we are good at.

A CASE FOR WAR?

I believe that people start this violence because they want what we want, they are jealous of what we have. People just do it because they are going through  things, and have mental problems. People just really do not care about others. Sometimes their past can cause this anger on others, that they want to take it out on them.

MURDER JUST BECAUSE

I believe murder is not justified, I mean sure the person should pay for what they did wrong. But, taking someone's life is not our decision to make and something we shouldn't do. The person should pay the consequences by going to jail or something. But by killing someone that's just wrong, you will obviously feel the guilt soon. You won't be able to be in peace knowing you killed someone. Even if you are really angry, and the person did something terrible their life shouldn't be a punishment. They should pay by going to prison for the rest of their lives.  I think that something that can motivate someone in real life, to murder someone, is by taking away the things they love the most. Sometimes if you do that it hurts them painfully and mentally they get out of control.

FAILING TO PLAN IS PLANNING TO FAIL

Faber and Montag, make a plan to plant books in every fireman's homes so that they could get arrested. They plan to take down the oppressive system. I believe that they will fail, and then get caught and get in trouble. I think it will be hard for them to plant stuff to get the fireman's arrested, I mean it's the government, I believe it would be pretty hard to fool them.

SOMETIMES YOU NEED A PROFESSOR

Montag gets in touch with Faber because he wanted to seek knowledge about books. He also wants to get a second copy of the stolen book before he gives it back to Captain Beatty.
