Example of a reading log (from Jenny's blog):
A short synopsis of the action and character development (what happened who was involved? Did anyone change? )
Montag is a firemen that starts fires to burn books. He loves his job, and he lives watching things burn. When he was walking home one night before he turns a corner he feels like there is someone around the corner. When he turns the corner he sees that there is a girl there. It turns out that it is Montag's new neighbor. He introduces himself, and she asks him about his job. He finds out that her name is Clarisse McClellan. She asks him weather he has read any books and how long he has been a firemen. She also brings up the fact that firemen used to put out fires. She also asks him if is happy. Then she runs away into the moonlight. Your interpretation of the significant events occurring in these pages (how were these pages important to the development of the story?)
This is probably the first time that Montag has ever been questioned about his lifestyle. This might make him doubt whether he likes his life or if he is just pretending to like it.Noteworthy figurative language and other literary elements (metaphors, similes, symbols, irony?)
Situational Irony - Montag calls himself a fireman when he starts fires.
Symbol - 451 is the temperature that you burn paper at.
Situational Irony - reading books is illegal, and right now we are all trying to get kids to read books.Vocabulary—unfamiliar words (Look up the words you do not know!!!!)
Cream-tiled - a type of colored flooring.
