       The book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is basically about these type of people more like a society. This society is so sad and like depressing almost like boring. Basically reading is like against the law and firefighters burn down the books. One day Montag is walking and comes across Clarisse. Clarisse is different. This is where the story than connects to book The pedestrian where the man who was just walking at night was Clarisse's uncle she talks about how the police arrested him because they thought he was crazy and weird for just walking at night.     This book has things going on that you really wouldn't see going on. Like firefighters burning down books because its against the law. I feel like they burn down the books because what is in them is reality and they don't want to face it and they want things to go a certain way. That's why Clarisse is so different her and her family. Slowly Montag realizes how sad his life is.      I like to think as Clarisse

 November18 I think that what makes a good first impression is to honestly be yourself and not try to act different. A good first impression makes a difference on how they see you the very first time they meet you. Main key would be using your manners being polite. Don't be rude or anything like that. November19 Something I would change right now was changing my sleeping schedule because it is hard for me to wake up at 8:40 everyday for school. Something else I would change would be not really caring about peoples words or their negativity and really ignore them and be me. November20 I think what makes a person hardcore is when they are rude or have this edge to their personality. I think that what makes a person gentle would be being caring or really nice and having a lot of patience. I think that these qualities can be both innated and learned because you can learn  bad habits by someone you look up to. 

    The plot of the story Bridge to Terabithia is that basically this boy named Jesse becomes best friends with the new girl Leslie who is also Jesse's neighbor. They make this imaginary place called Terabithia in a forest. They make it to basically get away from both school and home problems. They create this amazing friendship but a tragedy happens when Leslie dies trying to get to Terabithia by swinging on a rope they would use to get to the other side of the river. The theme of Bridge to Terabithia is friendship. When both of them face problems and help each other out. I feel like the author Katherine Paterson's morning routine would be like she could either wake up early or sleep in. She sounds very creative so I feel like she would drink tea in the morning. She would either do yoga or meditate. I feel like for breakfast she would have a nice calming breakfast maybe some toast and orange juice or her tea. I feel like she would just as how she made Leslie look she made her

 November 12   JOURNAL TOPIC:  Some holidays are worth celebrating every day.  Feeling grateful makes us happier, healthier, and more productive, so why not celebrate Thanksgiving today?  Think of something/someone for whom you are truly grateful, and use today's journal time to give thanks. I am truly thankful for my mom and dad and my closest friends. They have been there for me when I truly needed them. I love each and every one of them.  November 9   JOURNAL TOPIC What do you think of when you see the word FUTURE? When I see the word future it makes me think of what will happen next. I immediately think of myself being older and having my own house and a job. Basically like a new chapter in life.  November 10 JOURNAL TOPIC: What do you think or say when someone makes fun of your lunch? This has never happened to me but I think I would be a bit confused on why they are making fun of my lunch. I feel like id probably laugh it off or something or say they should try it. 

 When I think of fire I do think of like something that can warm you up but I also think of something like powerful. Fire had something to do with this story but what like kind of confused me was when she said something about them stopping fires instead of starting them. Clarisse mentioned something and she said don't you ever read a book before you burn it and he said no because it was the law. 

 When in the story Clarisse was brought up I thought she was odd and I thought this because when she like was telling him her age she said I'm 17 and I'm crazy and I was just like kind of weirded out. Then as she went I just thought she was odd but different and I think that was because she was asking so many questions but I personally think that she was just trying to open his eyes because she did mention drivers driving fast and how they like only see blurs because they drive fast and at the end she asked him if he was happy and he said of course I'm happy but in the beginning he was talking about like basically forcing a smile on and when i heard that it gave me an idea that he was like sad.

 Honestly this story took a turn at first I didn't really know how to feel he felt sad and like his life was kind of boring and then he found Clarisse and she did seem a bit odd but then as they went I realized she was also walking like later in the day just as the pedestrian. Later then she mentioned her uncle who was walking and arrested which basically the pedestrian and this story are connected I was shocked when I heard that it was her uncle.
