Periods 3 and 4:
Text: Continuing with pages 63-75 of Fahrenheit 451.
Objective: Analyze Montag's conflict(s).

We began the period with a discuss (at tables) of the following questions:

  • How has Beatty’s speech left Montag feeling on p. 64?
  • Track Mildred’s suggestions for how to feel better. What does this show about her thoughts on what Beatty said?
  • From pp. 65–66, track Montag’s revelations to Mildred. How does she react to this? Why?
  • What is Montag begging Mildred to do on pp. 66–67?
  • What two things greatly disturb Montag on p. 67?
  • What does he decide to do? What does this decision reveal about how his internal conflict is developing?
After looking at some "golden lines," we moved to the Style Analysis Chart (below) that should be in your notes from yesterday.

What is most important about this chart is to: select passages that best reflect Montag's conflict(s), note what Bradbury is doing (craft/style/techniques), and connect back to how that craft helps the reader understand the conflict(s).

This should be completed upon entering the class tomorrow.
