Everyone at some point in their life will go through a difficult situation of events. With this comes struggle and pain. Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451” and Kesha’s song “Praying” both display a difficult situation for the character. Also, both of the characters end up figuring it out and getting over their pain and struggle. This is just one of the many ways they are similar. In both texts, we learn that getting over your problems and moving on will make you a happier and stronger person.

A common theme suggested in both texts is dealing with the people around you and not letting those people change your opinion and not letting them get to you. In Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451” the people surrounding Montag do not think like him. They all believe that books are bad and  should be burned. Montag thinks the opposite, and doesn’t think that books are bad. In Kesha’s “Praying” the speaker seems to be dealing with a break up with a recent boyfriend. She doesn’t think the same way that her old boyfriend seemed to. He seemed to have been not treating her with respect, and the speaker did not like or agree with that. Although both characters do not agree with the people around them, they have gotten over it, and do not wish anything bad upon them. For example, in Kesha’s “Praying” she states “you brought the flames and you put me through hell” this shows that her old boyfriend was not treating her well. Then later she states “I hope you find your peace” This shows that she doesn’t wish anything bad upon them.

Although both stories have these similarities about problems in life, they do have their differences. In Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451”, Montag is losing his mind during some parts of the story. This is because it seems as if everyone around him is against him. Everyone around him does not think books are good, while he does. In Kesha’s “Praying” the speaker is doing the exact opposite. She is finding her peace throughout the whole time. So while Montag is stressing out at points, the speaker in “Praying” is getting over her problems. As stated in “Praying”, “I can thank you for how strong I have become” and, “And I don’t need you, I found a strength I’ve never known.” This shows that she is getting over her relationship and she doesn’t need her ex’s help to be successful.

In both “Fahrenheit 451” and “Praying”, Ray Bradbury and Kesha both show the idea of dealing with difficult situations in life is very hard. They both show the idea of how important it is to get over it. After overlooking both the story and the song, readers will realize that, no matter what happens in life it is always important to recover and forgive, as it will make you a stronger person on the inside. It will help you find your inner peace, and finding your inner peace will make you happy. These lessons will help you live your life to the fullest and be successful.

Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 takes place in a corrupt world where books are illegal. The main character Guy Montag is a fireman whose job is to burn books. He meets a girl named Clarisse who changes the way he sees everything. Guy begins to realize that books are not bad at all. He begins to read books. This turns out to be a big mistake as he gets in trouble for it. One theme the author suggests is curiosity leads to the truth, and never be afraid to pursue it, no matter the cost.

From the start of the story the words and actions of Montag help suggest the change on his opinion of books. From him watching people burn books, and burning books himself. When he does meet Clarisse he changes his opinion on books. There are many events in the story that help prove this. Such as thinking to himself and even stealing and hiding books. This shows signs of curiosity because for him to steal a book he would have to be curious in what a book is like.

During the middle of the story the author uses words and actions to suggest the theme. Montag steals more books. This shows he is starting to really like books. So he is curious about what the books are about. During the middle Clarisse also goes missing. Which makes Montag curious about what happened to her. As stated on page 69 “What about Clarisse McClellan, where do we look for her?” This shows Montag’s curiosity when it comes to finding Clarisse.

The author suggests the theme towards the end of the story using actions. Towards the end Montag is found with his books. He gets in trouble and the government goes after him. While he is running he gets lost in the woods and meets granger and his group. Montag is curious who Granger is and, what he and his group is doing in the woods. The group ends up helping Montag escape the people who were after him.

The theme could be viewed as the expectations of society. This is because everyone burns books and Montag is expected to as well. Although this is not supported throughout the entire story. As towards the end Montag changes his thinking. Then he is more curious of why they act this way. Which means that Curiosity is supported throughout the whole story.

In conclusion the theme developed throughout the story is curiosity. Like Montag questioning why books are bad, and why people burn them. Evidence like this throughout the whole story help develop the theme as curiosity.

The book has not really described a setting. It is most likely in the United States. It does not have and exact location or time period. I would assume it is supposed to be current day. It takes place in a neighborhood. Which is different from where I live, I don’t live in a neighborhood, I just live on a street.

The main character in this book is Guy Montag. His job as a firemen is to burn all of the books.  His main problem is he starts to question everything because of his neighbor Clarisse. He is insecure, and nervous. He is not much like me, but i can relate to being very nervous.

Every day at Blackhawk Middle School every student in the school gets some sort of lunch for free. The lunches have a wide variety of what students can eat. They also have many good items that you can have on the side. Like Fruits and other stuff to eat. The school also supplies a milk or a juice to drink with your lunch

Even though Blackhawk provides these lunches for free, there is ale’ cart. Which does cost money. But ale ‘cart is not required. The ale’ cart items include stuff like snacks and soda. Most ale’ cart items are around 75 cents. So even though it costs money, it is not very expensive. Which is good for students who may not come from a very wealthy background.

At Blackhawk, there is a variety of lunches. You will not eat the same meal. The school has a wide variety of meals. They have foods such as pizza, spaghetti, salad, nachos, and much more. Along with a bunch of different sides, and even different milk flavors and  Sometimes the food is good sometimes it’s bad. At least they don’t serve slop!

Students have lunch around the time it is expected to be had at. The schools lunch periods are around 12:00 so the students eat around mid-day. So the timing is pretty good. The lunches last around 30 minutes. Which is sometimes not enough time to eat. When students get called last to eat their lunch they often run out of time.

The Cafeteria is located on the right the side of the school. There are rows of tables that students sit at. The students do not get to pick where they sit. They have to sit with the class they are going to after lunch. Students used to have free Fridays to sit where ever they want. Ever since Mr. Harl became the new assistant principal they have yet to return this school year. Many students have asked him and he has said they might return.

Every day at lunch after students come in and start sitting down, Mr. Harl, the assistant principal counts down from 3 to get students quiet. After he is done counting down he picks the row of tables (There are 9 rows) that got quiet the fastest to go get their lunch first. The students all rush to get their food. Then after that he continuously calls other rows to go get their food. Then the students teachers come and pick them up at the end of lunch. Then they walk their students back to the classroom and they begin learning.

Blackhawk Middle School students are going to begin wearing uniforms the Tuesday after Labor Day. Fort Wayne Community Schools (FWCS) said eventually  all of the schools are going to get uniforms. Some schools like Kekionga Middle School and others who already have uniforms. We spoke to the principal of Blackhawk Middle School Mrs. Froning on how the students reacted. “The students were very upset”. “Eventually they will warm up to the idea of having uniforms”. Studies show that schools with uniforms  have a higher success rate on tests like ISTEP. This is why FWCS is getting uniforms. A lot of parents said they are not paying for the schools uniforms as they are overpriced. We interviewed a mother of a 7th grader at Blackhawk Middle School, she was very upset with this idea. “This idea is just absolutely ridiculous”. She says. A lot of other parents also said they thought the idea was terrible.

 

Lots of teacher at Blackhawk thought there was going to be a student riot. They said it was out of control. The students said they were going on a boycott and were not going to wear uniforms. This is very unlikely to happen though.

 

The students at Blackhawk will hopefully warm up to the idea, and maybe even want uniforms.

 

The last book i read was Magnus Chase The Hammer of Thor. I liked the plot of the story. It was something different than i normally read.

The book i chose was The Eight Day. I chose it because i couldn’t find anything. I think it is going to be some kid who is on some sort of time for a mission or something.
