DUE FRIDAY, 1/26 Fahrenheit 451 pp. 110-125

My Question: What does the author mean when he says "And he shot a bolt of fire at each of the three blank walls and the vacuum hissed out at him?"

1. Summarize what happens in one or two sentences:

So what happens in this part of the book is that there is a carnival that’s going on down the block. Guy is talking to Beatty and then goes crazy because of something that he said that has to do with burning down his house. Then Guy gets a flamethrower goes into his house and starts burning everything that reminded him of Mildred. While he was burning the house Beatty was behind him talking to him, Guy wasn't listening so Beatty punch him in the head which made Guy fall to the ground. Beatty was somewhat threatening Guy. Guy got feed-up and pressed the trigger and lit Beatty on fire.

2. On your blog, copy down one sentence from this reading selection that strikes you as particularly descriptive. Which of the 5 senses does it appeal to? What verbs, adjectives, or figurative language are used and why are they effective in describing a certain action, person, or thing?:

"There was a hiss like a great mouthful of spittle banging a red-hot stove, a bubbling and frothing as if salt has been poured over a monstrous black snail to cause terrible liquefaction and boiling over of yellow foam."

I think that this appeals to sight because if you just read that you can imagine Beatty's skin bubbling frothing. There was a lot of figurative language that makes this sentence sound much more interesting. Like when he says "bubbling and frothing as if salt has been poured over a monstrous snail." From thinking of what a snail looks like from when we pour salt on it I can see a clear picture of what is happening to Beatty.
