1 Fahrenheit 451 Assignment: Honors English I Guided Reading Summer Assignment Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury The assignment described below is due on the first day of class. You may NOT collaborate with other students. Any responses that are identical or too similar will be considered plagiarism therefore earning a zero. Do your own close reading and analysis of the text. Please read the instructions carefully. Part I (25%) Directions: Answer questions A, B, and C in complete sentences on a separate sheet of paper. Your responses must be typed in Times New Roman, 12 point font or neatly written in ink. As you read, complete the following activities... A. Fire and burning are important motifs in Fahrenheit 451. Begin by making a T-Chart and free-associating words, thoughts, and feelings that come to mind when you think about fire and burning. As you read, add to your T-Chart by recording quotes from the book that relate to either fire or burning. Explain why you chose the quotation (minimum of five quotations with explanations). B. Mirrors and reflection are important motifs in Fahrenheit 451. Track the word mirror and any references to the concept of reflection as you read the book. Make a list of quotations and page numbers (minimum of three quotations with explanations of the symbolism of mirror and/or the concept of reflection). C. Record a solid definition of the literary term motif. Identify and explain a different motif that you recognized in Fahrenheit 451. Your explanation of the motif must demonstrate a clear interpretation of the term motif.
2 Part II (15%) Directions: Section Comprehension Questions will be graded for completion; however, strive for accuracy. Page numbers throughout this guided reading assignment refer to the following edition: Bradbury, Ray. Fahrenheit 451. New York: Random House, Inc., The Hearth and the Salamander Section 1 Pages 3-24 Last Line of the Section: opened his mouth Overview: Montag, the protagonist, appears to be happy in his job as a fireman. He is distressed about his wife Mildred s suicide attempt. His meetings with Clarisse, however, have a powerful influence on him. His second self, the one who isn t happy, is disturbed by Clarisse. In fact, she seems to be a mirror of his inner thoughts and feelings. 1. Montag is a fireman of the future. Explain what he means when he says, It was a pleasure to burn. 2. Instead of water, what does the fire hose spray? 3. Describe the sounds and scents associated with Clarisse. 4. For what crimes has Clarisse s uncle been arrested? What does this tell you about this society? 5. What question does Clarisse ask Montag? (Hint: 3 words) 6. Describe the atmosphere inside Montag s house. 7. When Montag gets home from work, he realizes that Mildred has taken an entire bottle of sleeping pills. Compare the two hospital handymen with today s healthcare workers. 8. How does Mildred react after she wakes up from her attempted suicide? 9. Describe the set-up of Montag s TV room. 10. What is Clarisse doing when Montag sees her? (p. 21) Section 2 Pages Last Line of the Section: He did not open the window. Overview: Notice the developing character of Beatty, who seems to be totally unfeeling. Beatty also seems to be suspicious of Montag. The introduction of the Mechanical Hound is important since it stands in such harsh contrast to the friendly, cute Dalmatian typically associated with firemen. The fire at the old woman s house transforms Montag.
3 Fahrenheit 451 Assignment: Honors English I He realizes the difference between things and people, which seems to be the same to Beatty. Mildred s emptiness and robot-like reactions make him realize how isolated he feels. Clarisse s death adds to his despair. 1. The Mechanical Hound is the mascot of the fire department. Describe who its victims are and how they are killed. (p. 25) 2. How does the Mechanical Hound react to Montag? 3. Describe school in the world of Fahrenheit Why does society consider Clarisse anti-social? (p. 29) 5. How do teenagers amuse themselves in their free time? (pp ) 6. What happened to Clarisse s friends? 7. What do the rule books say about the Firemen of America? (pp ). 8. What reasons does Beatty give for burning books? 9. What startling news does Mildred reveal to Montag? (p. 47) Section 3 Pages Last Line of the Section: at the beginning. Overview: Beatty s long speech in this section deserves careful study. He is a spokesman for the masses, and his explanation for the insanity of this society almost seems to make sense. A close reading of this speech offers an opportunity to think about the consequences of censorship and the meaning of the word equal. Montag s metamorphosis is now well under way; he knows there is something in books that he needs and wants to understand. He hopes the truth he seeks is enough to awaken Mildred from her zombie-like existence. 1. Montag once described the smell of kerosene in a positive way. How does the fact that it now makes him sick connect with the plot? 2. The old woman refuses to abandon her books. What effect does this have on the firemen? 3. How does Mildred react when Montag tells her about the old woman burning alive with her books? (pp.49-51) 4. Why must fire captains have book knowledge? 5. Where does Montag hide the book he stole? (p. 53) What does Mildred do when she finds it? (p. 66) 6. Why does Beatty visit? (p. 52) 7. What literature is allowable in this society? (p. 57) 8. Montag asks, How do people like Clarisse come to exist in our world? How does Beatty reply? (p. 60)
4 The Sieve and the Sand Section 4 Pages Last Line of the Section: lips moving just a trifle. Overview: Montag is now acting as his second self, the one that Clarisse brought out. His fireman self is still with him, but he is beginning to have his own thoughts about how to save society from what he now recognizes as a terrible mistake. Faber is an important mentor and teacher to Montag. 1. How does Mildred react to Montag s reading? 2. What answers does Montag give to Mildred s question, Why should I read? What for? (p. 73) 3. What comes sniffing around the door as Montag is reading? 4. Montag needs a teacher to help him understand books, and he remembers that the old man in the park is a retired English professor. What is his name? (p. 75) 5. What problem does Montag have regarding which book to turn in to Beatty? (p. 76) 6. Why does Faber see himself as a coward and Montag as a brave man? (pp ) 7. Describe the plan that Faber and Montag devise. 8. Describe the device that Faber invents. How will Montag use it? (p. 90) Section 5 Pages Last Line of the Section: of my house. Overview: Montag s tirade against the women is his first attempt to express his revolutionary thoughts and feelings to someone from the zombie-world. He realizes he has made an error, and this makes him nervous at the fire station, where Beatty tells him about a dream he had. Beatty spits out literary quotes that contradict one another and completely confuse Montag. 1. Describe the conversation between Millie and her friends. 2. What does Montag do that irritates the women? (p. 94) 3. Describe Mrs. Bowles parenting methods. (p. 96) 4. Describe the superficial voting practices of the women. (pp ) 5. What does Montag say to Mrs. Bowles just before she leaves? (p. 101) 6. How is Montag greeted by Beatty at the firehouse? (pp ) 7. What address is typed out on the alarm report?
5 Fahrenheit 451 Assignment: Honors English I Burning Bright Section 6 Pages Last Line of the Section: toward the river. Overview: This section can be easily understood on a symbolic level. As he burns his house and then turns his torch on Beatty, Montag is also burning his past and any possibility of continuing his old life. When Montag realizes that Beatty wants to die, the reader sees that Beatty has a second self, too, one perhaps very similar to the person Montag is becoming. As Montag hears the announcement that the threat of war is now a declared reality, he begins his own battle. He argues with himself and even considers giving up. As he takes the books to Black s house and phones in the alarm, he acts as a sort of behind-the-lines rebel. The ten-lane highway he crosses is like a battlefield, and the children in the car want to kill him even though they have no idea who he is, just as young soldiers in battle kill enemy soldiers. By the time he arrives at Faber s, Montag is energized and in charge of his life. He is doing his own thinking now. His heroism even makes the frail Faber feel alive. 1. Why does Bradbury compare the scene at Montag s house to a carnival? 2. How does Beatty describe Clarisse? 3. What does Mildred regret losing in the fire? 4. Who turned in the alarms? 5. How does Beatty discover the two-way radio? 6. What happens to Montag s leg that it becomes a numbness in a numbness hollowed into a numbness? 7. What two announcements does Montag hear on the Seashell radio? 8. What happens when Montag crosses the highway? 9. Where will Faber be going on the 5:00 A.M. bus? Section 7 Pages Last Line of the Section: putting out the fire together. Overview: Montag s ability to monitor his own crisis by watching it on neighborhood televisions is supreme irony. Notice the significance of the river: Water, the enemy of fire, saves Montag from being destroyed by the Hound, the creation of a world gone mad. Montag finally has time to escape from the chaos of the past week, and he is now
6 given the time to consider it all the leisure to digest that Faber tells him about. The river and the fresh forest air are purifying, and the pace of the novel slows down. The campfire in the forest is a warming one, not a burning one. As Montag watches the televised death of an innocent pedestrian, he is further freed from the past. 1. What new game does the police invent? 2. What does Montag s desperate flight remind him of? 3. What does Montag think about as he drifts down the river? 4. What terrifies Montag as he steps onto land? 5. What does Granger give Montag to throw the Hound off his track? 6. What snap ending had to be created for the chase show on TV? 7. Who are the members of the group that Montag meets in the woods? (p. 150) Section 8 Pages Last Line of the Section: putting out the fire together. Overview: Granger s speech about his grandfather ranks in importance with the speeches of Faber and Beatty. The idea that it is what we do in life that matters is worth thinking about. In fact, Montag realizes he doesn t miss Mildred because she never did a thing. Montag is a little disappointed that the men in the forest aren t action-oriented. Compared to them, he seems idealistic and full of energy to make changes. After the bombs destroy the city, Granger cynically says that it s history repeating itself in another cycle of destroy-and-rebuild, and he reminds the men to always keep in mind that they are nothing. Bradbury makes a valid point here about learning from past mistakes. (Hint: Is there anything to note on your list of quotes and page numbers?) 1. Why does Granger tell Montag the story about his grandfather? 2. What does Montag picture Mildred doing during the bomb blast? 3. Where is Faber when the bombs hit? 4. How is the legend of the phoenix related to the story? (p. 163) 5. Discuss the meaning and importance of building a mirror factory.
7 Fahrenheit 451 Assignment: Honors English I Part III (60%) Directions: Read the information below carefully. A. The Hearth and the Salamander Writing Assignment: Choose ONE of the following prompts and write a response that is at least one well-developed paragraph in length. Refer to the notes below that outline the guidelines for composing a well-developed paragraph. 1. Montag is disturbed by Mildred s emptiness. He feels the books may help him find a way to get through to Mildred. Write about how a particular book has helped you to better understand yourself. 2. Clarisse s uncle was a mentor for her just as she is a mentor for Montag. Sometimes people can have a deep and lasting effect on us that may even change our lives. Maybe you were a mentor or maybe you were mentored by someone. Write about someone who has influenced your life enough for you to make changes in your thinking or actions. 3. How is a civilization advanced when people do things differently than they have always been done? How is it held back if nobody tries anything new? B. The Sieve and the Sand Writing Assignment: Choose ONE of the following prompts and write a response that is at least one well-developed paragraph in length. Refer to the notes below that outline the guidelines for composing a well-developed paragraph. 1. Faber talks about the newspapers dying like huge moths (p. 89). Reread the rest of this paragraph. Then compare and contrast a daily newspaper with a sensationalistic tabloid. Which one would exist in the world of Fahrenheit 451? What other reading materials available today (including internet pieces) would be allowed to remain? 2. Reread Beatty s speech about his dream (pp ). Choose the quote you think has the most impact on Montag and explain why.
8 Notes on Proper Paragraph Structure Topic sentence: introduce the main idea of the paragraph. Introduce quotation or evidence: put the quotation or evidence into context. Quotation: state the quotation or paraphrase the evidence from the text. Analyze: explain to the reader the importance of the evidence and how it supports your topic sentence. Summarize: Write a sentence to conclude your paragraph. It must relate to your topic sentence.
