After reading through the first chapter of the novel I am very unclear of the plot. It seems like a futuristic sci-fi novel, but the plot seems to be moving from different characters and scenes. Maybe this is just the beginning and I failed to understand that. There is a fireman, his depressed wife and a friend/neighbor who is questioning how instead of why about the society they live in. Then we have fireman burning books and impeding war on the horizon. I am looking forward to the class tomorrow so as to understand more about the plot and hear different views.
I also like to know more about the blog assignment; do we all need to comment to each other's blog, this is my 10th blog and and yet we are not active within the group.

Parag,
ReplyDeleteMuch of the beginning of F51 is disorienting, setting up different plots. But Id like to think that Bradbury has a method to his madness, as the novel is written in such a way because THATS how society is in this dystopic future. Think of each interaction as a part to a whole--they will begin to come togther.
We will be discussing the plot and characters and some of the conflict that is already presenting itself in the novels, and I look forward to hearing your views as well!
As far as the Blog assignment goes, yes you should be interacting with each other on one another's blogs. This doesnt mean you have to on every single blog, but a couple of comments would be great (and in theory, people should be commenting on yours too!)
