Have you ever done something that you got away with, but for only a short period of time? The main character, Guy Montag, in Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 hides books in his house.

Mildred turns in Montag and the alarm goes off. When the alarm went off the firemen came to Montag’s house, which led to Mildred leaving, Montag killing Beatty, and the mechanical hound.

Throughout Malcolm Gladwell essay he describes several examples of activism of different political movements. I agree with Gladwell’s argument about social media, like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc., is a form of weak-tie activism and strong-tie activism requires strong connections to other individuals who are willing to sacrifice for a cause. Throughout the essay, the author takes us through different scenarios in history to prove his point regarding the difference between traditional activism and non-traditional.

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury places you in a futuristic time. So, imagine if we were in the year 3031, and you know that is illegal to read or even own a book for that matter.

Fahrenheit 451 is about a guy named Guy Montag. Guy is a fireman who is married to Mildred. Mildred is beyond obssessed with television. All around town everyone has huge flat screens and fireproofed homes. So work for Guy is not in high demand. So now that firefighters are not facing as many fires they are now given a new job.

Books were seen as not useful and should not be read. He has to now burn books without questioning it.

This chapter revolved around what leads to the success of certain people. First, Gladwell analyzes the key factor to the success of hockey players: their birthdays. The birthday theory states that children born immediately after the cutoff date of a specific sport or activity have a greater chance of being successful in that specific field, because they are bigger, stronger and smarter than their peers due to the increase of age. This advantage can be career-changing yet it is not the only deciding factor of success. Obviously, talent and passion is the foundation to success; the birthday theory just broadens the chances of an individual’s success.

Gladwell writes in this passage about how the way people think can be crazy and altered based on where they come from. People might disagree with this and he brings that up saying “ we are often wary of making these kinds of broad generalizations about different cultural groups” and far point to bring up. However he knows and isn’t afraid to say statements a little out there. Gladwell in his writing I have noticed brings up points that people don’t also want to or even recognize. He bring up honor which can be wounded very easily just as easy as people’s pride. Another thing people don’t like to talk about unless they are boasting about it but when it is hurt blood will be shed. Which is in fact deranged to think that people can’t put away

World War 1 has been a famous war throughout history. Many films have been made surrounding it, sometimes realistic and sometimes not so much. Paths of Glory and All Quiet on the Western Front were two such movies that depicted the Great War. Each movie is unique in their own sense and although no movie will completely convey the harsh reality of the war some movies are better than others. Depending on when and what year the war would have looked vastly different to different soldiers. Some would only know the reality of the trench while others would recognize “tanks” rolling over the ground which were impenetrable to normal gun fire. Which side of the war one was on would have also lead to different views, as in when one side is winning the other is losing, and when morale is up on one side normally morale is down on the other.
