Hello once again!

My trip around the odd book continue.

Montag already change his point of view. He liked the conversations with Clarisse, but one day she's gone. Mildred, fireman's wife, said that she run over by a car. Montag missed her, he understood that she was unusual girl, she was wiser than the others. 

When firemen burnt the books and tha woman, who didn't want to leave her books, Montag understood that there was something in these books, that people wrote them for many years, maybe they were interesting and contained some hidden information. These books were somebody's life. 

Now Montag was almost sure that he didn't want to be a fireman. He started to read his books, which were hidden by him one year ago. Montag hoped to discover something about their nation in this books, he heard that the whole world hates them, he wanted to figure out, why?

But fireman's wife didn't understand him, she lived in her own world with telephone conversations and TV. 

Trere was a lack of comunication between the husband and his wife. They didn't understand each other. It's a pity. I was shoked when the author described that they didn't remember when and where they've met for the first time.

I hope that that at the end of the book this muddy world will change, people will thing about each other, they will enjoy life and will love the others. 

P.S I  don't like the world, described here. I would die in such a world were people are ignorant and indifferent. 

With respect. Kate

Hello!! I just continue to read this strange book! It takes a lot of time, because it's difficult to understand not only the meaning of the words, but the meaning of the sentences as well.
I found that after walking with Clarisse, Montag came back home. He found his wife cold, she was aproximately dead. She took thirty capsules of sleeping-tablets, but she didn't recognized that, she thought she couldn't do this. The author also mentioned Montag's work, and a dog, Hound, maden by people, who had no heart, blood or bones.
Every day Montag met Clarisse, whom I sympathize, whome I consider the only normal and social person from all that I already "met" in the book. People considered she is odd, she gathered autumn leaves, chestnuts, she could stay in the rain and enjoy its taste. Her psychologist said she was an onion, and she kept him busy peeling away the layers.
Clarisse was astonished by Montag's work. She was sure it was'n made for him. Every person Clarisse met didin't want even to listen to her. But Montag talked to her, sometimes he understood her.
Clarisse said that no one had time and any more for anyone else.
Clarisse didn't go to school, teachers and fellows considered her anti-social, but in vain!
This book is interesting for me because I know it was written when people didn't have iron dogs, which could kill people, people didn't kill each over without any purpose. But the author, probably being a genious, invented it. In nowadays scienties can do everything, a dog who has no heart or bones as well.
It's interesting, how the author looked through the time and saw the future.
I will read the book futher, I'm interested about the end. I can predict that this seventeen-year-old gir will change thirty-year-old fireman's view of life.

Love.
Kate

Hello to everybody! Today, 23.01.2013 I started to read the new book: FAHRENHEIT 451. It's a great event, I faught with my lazyness for many days. Now I finally understood that I have to read, I have to work in order to become a good teacher.
Sincerely, I'm afraid that one day I will go to school, and I won't know all the things I must know.
Concerning the book, from the very biggining, it's difficult for me to understand. Till now I read that a man. whose name is Montag, a fireman, thirty-year-old man met one night a girl who sayd that she is seventeen and she is crazy, her name is Clarisse McClellan. The Montag's work wasn't to extinguish the fire, but to nurn the books.
Clarisse seemed to be strange, odd for Montag. She asked a lot, she thought about nature. I think she was wiser than fireman. He was busy, he didn't remembered when he saw a dew on the grass, and "a man on the moon". This girl saw all the beauties of the nature, all the small things that people didn't noticed.
When Montag and Clarisse reached her house, before saying "Good buy", she asked if Montag is happy. It was peculiar for him. He was sure he was.
This book is somewhat strange for me, but I liked it from the biggining. It didn't happen with the previous one! I'm sure I will read it this night and soon I will write something else about the later events.

Hugs. Kate.
P.S. I hope somebody will read my message!!

There isn't Sunday ar even Monday today! But I want to share my impressions about the book. I read that Pip is going to London. He have a benefactor, but he doesn't know him. Pip is supposed to become a gentleman, it was his wish since childhood.
Pip's love towards Estella is very strong and he expects to be together with her. I don't know iа it will heppen, but I would like to read some pages about Estella's reciprocity. I am one who love happy ends.
In London Pip meets a young man, soon he understands that he already knows his man. Pip saw him in Miss Havisham's house. So, these two young gentlemen become friends. I realized that Pip changed, now he is a really gentleman, he doesn't live in midery. But is he really happy?  Is it all that he needs?
I am also interested who is the benefactor who gives Pip money. Is it Miss Havisham or not? I sincerely believe that this young man will be happy and his great expectations will become true! 

I'm very sorry that this time I'm not active in filling my blog!! But I will try to write one message which contains all my realizations and expectations!!!
Let me begin with the Christmas Eve. Pip had stolen Whiskey and Christmas pie, he filled the bottle with tar water and was afraid everybody will discover that it was he, who did such a crime. But nobodydiscovered it.
A little boy wanted to tell Joe Gargery what did he do, but Pip was afraid that in this case he will lose his only friend.
Futher, I read that Pip goes to school ever day for just one hour, it's at Mr.Wopsle's great aunt house. But this great aunt sleeps through the lessons. At the lessons Pip encounters Biddy, she is also an orphan, and she is somewhat unkempt. Once Pip is writing a letter to his best friend Joe, then he discovered that Joe can't read and write. Then, Joe explains him that he had a hard childhood, his father was an alcoholic, he even beat Joe's mom. So, Joe doesn't have a posibility to study. Joe loved both his parents, he was a loving son and he was together with them till their death.
Little Pip started to teach his brother-in law to read and write, but it heppend secretly from Pip's sister!!
Pip is asked to go Miss Havisham's home. There Pip meets Estella, who makes him cry. When  Pip returned at home, he related to Joe about Estella, and Joe says that Estella mustn't laught on Pip and that it is wrong that she looks at other people as she is a queen.
I am sure that one day Pip will be happy and he will show to everyone who is who!! But before that, we sould read more and more!!!
P.S. I just don't understand why Estella is so "insulting", as Pip said? Why she had never spelled Pip's name, she always sais "you, boy", a common boy....

I can say that there aren't enough time for reading, for looking every new word through the dictionary (and I really don't like it). But by degrees I read the book and now I'm ready to depict the characters.
The main character of the book is Pip, whose real name is Philip Pirrip. His is a little boy, an orphan who never said his parent. His Father Philip and mother - Georgiana were dead and their other children - Alexander, Bartholomew, Abraham, Tobias, and Roger died too. 

Now poor child lives with his sister and her husband. His sister has got black hair and eyes.She is tall and bony. She is more than twenty years ilder then her young brother. Pip tells that his sister is somewhat plein and he doesn't understand how Joe Gargery, the blacksmith, a handsome man, "Joe was a fair man, with curls of flaxen hair on each side of his smooth face, and with eyes of such a very undecided blue that they seemed to have somehow got mixed with their own whites" could marry her. 

Very often Pip converse with Joe, the little boy helps him with good words and advices. 

In the first chapter of the "Great Expextation" Pip meets in the graveyard a strange man. 

The author tells us that he is a fearful man, all in coarse grey, with a great iron on his leg. Pip is afraid of this man. This man is indefferent towards little orphan and is rude with him.

I will read more and more and will try to ubderstand who ia who in this book! 

Great expextation about "Great expectations" 

Last year I read a "Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. Then I already understood that he is a great writer and his creations are really interesting. Looking forward to reading the next book wrote by one of the most famous English writers, I expect that it will be full of emotions, interesting things and sentiments.

I read that the protagonist of the masterpiece is a little boy who is approximately six years old and whose parents died. He doesn’t have friends and very rarely visited cemetery and especially his parents’ graves.

I don’t know what happen later, but I am sure that this book will be very, very helpful for me and my fellows. I think it, for sure contains some moral, it will teach us, and soon I will discover – what exactly.

For sure, it will teach us new words, as every book that we read. It’s very important, but the most important thing we study from the book, is how to behave in a difficult situation, how to look at life, what attitude we must have towards the other people.

So, I think that I will enjoy reading this book and I will get pleasure of it.
