week #5
I finished the last of "Fahrenheit 451." I do not recomend this book it was rather boring. Montag rebelled against the no book policy and he got caught after burning down his house and burning Beatty. Life was rough for Montag but he knew it was coming for him. His wife Mildred left him without a care proving the love that never happened because of the society. Although it seems like the right thing to do, revolt, many people did not think so. After burning everything Montag ran and did not stop until reaching Fabers house. Montag knew it would put faber in great danger but he had to tell Faber the news. That was the start of Montags chase. Faber and Montag fled the area with plans of seeing eachother in the near future. Montag went flowing down a river and ran into people who were on his side. Not only did they not find Montag, they made it seem like they did so people of the community did not have to worry. But soon everything will fall apart because they were planning a revolution.

Ive gotten back to reading "Hot Zone," it has gotten very suspenseful because they are trying to find out where the virus has come from. This part is entertaining because they're coming up with all these ideas of where the first case might have happened. They have been noticing symptoms of the virus which do not include many obvious reactions to things besides irritation of surroundings. What happens internally is a different story. The virus has produced other sister viruses that act in the same way but end up having different symptoms. For one of the viruses it attacks your brain and doesn't seem like much but you die in an instance because of a hemoglobin in the middle of your brain.
In the book it says monkeys are not a stable homestead for the virus but monkeys are the first huge species that got contracted with the disease. There was this man who exported monkeys for money and such but before they export them he does a check to make sure they are all healthy and okay. When the monkeys end up being injured or sick they are immediately sent to be killed. The mans boss was a monkey lover and felt that the monkeys could get better over time so knowing that they sent the monkeys to a deserted island. So far they have predicted that it was a live feeding ground for the virus to feed off of. I love this book because its not only true its very unexpected.

week #3
So I've gotten deeper into the book of "Fahrenheit 451," so far it is pretty good but it gets a little boring in some parts. This week was about how Montag views his life from a new prospective given by Clarisse. While Montag gets life lessons from a seventeen year old, he is also dealing with a wife at home who does not love him and barely notices his existence. Right now it seems hard for Montag because he is starting to fade away from his job let alone his relationship he has with everyone he knows. Clarisse put a major impact on Montag without him even realizing it, but when Montag heard the rumor that shes dead he felt lost without her. Hopefully I can see if the rumors are true. This book isn't getting better. It remains at a same pace which is b-o-r-i-n-g. I still do not recommend it.
