Since I'm not good at creating my own story, I'm going to share ideas of what could have been another great way of starting the book:
... While I was reading the story I had a feeling Montag would have caught her something more unusual or strange for example holding the front cover of a burnt book. That to me would have created more suspense and would have me and I'm sure others hooked and CURIOUS...like she was. That also could have created Montag's mind to start flipping out like WHY?! WHY is she holding it, what's her purpose, does she disagree with the rules or?? The first six pages could have created for me more urge to keep reading if it got the characters flipping it out because I would have done the exact same.

Guiding questions
Describe the society (a fictional America) that Montag lives in. In what ways is it similiar to, but more extreme than, our society? What signs are there that it is a "dystopia" (the opposite of utopia/ideal society)?
- I get a feeling that Montag lives in a society where you don't ask questions. Where curiosity is bad, like if you were expected to think a certain way, act a certain way, and live a certain way. Society today is more about wanting to learn new things. For example, my friends and I ask questions like crazy when we want to learn more about that certain topic. Unlike Montag he's more concerned on staying "inbetween the margins". In the first 6 pages we get signs and we already start to feel that they live in a society full of dystopia. For the reasons that asking questions is like WHAT?! Curiosity is not normal, also they burn books.
2. What makes Clarisse so special? So different from most people in her society?
- She's distinct from the rest because she's not only young, but she views things differently. She inspects everything from top to bottom. She wants to be informed. She's a girl who's full curiosity, she's a character who's gonna have a much more different way of thinking than others.
3. Why do you think the mechanical hound has been programmed to react to Montag?
- I don't understand this question. :/

WHAT I SEE IN LITERATURE
-So in The Great Gatsby the theme that i picked up on was love, was determination, also in some ways being scared of not being able to change the past .. . so you can say low acceptance of things. Why? Well because in the story Gatsby was crazy in love with Daisy, he DIED for love. Determination because Gatsby never stops trying to get Daisy back, or to get Daisy to say that she never loved Tom, and finally low acceptance of things because he never wanted to accept the fact that he couldn't change the past. He strongly believed you could.
- In Prufrock i get a feeling that he also is scared of accepting the fact that things will get old. Just like Gatsby was scared that he couldn't change the past or that Daisy's love for Gatsby go told as well.

Prufrock
this poem has a lot of turns. I'm still tying to wrap my mind around it. Hahaha. It seems really intresting though, I have a feeling it's going to be good.

Connection I made to the ending of The Great Gatsby
I love the way the story ends. It ends with this line "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." Because there's so many things you can relate that line to. For example, Gatsby all his life wanted to fix the past and make things right. Then he dies, it takes us back to where he lost her again, only this time he won't come back. That last line does pretty much sums up the whole story. I love it.
