Hi.
This section mainly involved the discovery that Mildred was indeed behind the report on Montag and the burning of his house. During the burning, Montag murders captain Beatty, “kills” the hound and threatens other members of the firehouse.
My favorite sentence from this part was the line, “There was a crash like the falling parts of a dream fashioned out of warped glass, mirrors and crystal prisms.” that was on page 114, second-to-last paragraph.
I like this image that is created here because you really get this feeling of broken dreams. I feel like I can almost hear the tinkling of broken crystals falling in a heap. I think that is one of the reasons that it is so wonderful. It also creates this image of a broken mirror where everything looks strange, though moments before, it had seemed so familiar, I know you know the feeling. And last, I like it because of the hopelessness that it carries. I can feel the despair as everything that he knew comes crashing down at his feet, I can feel the shards of his dreams, because the description is so good.
I am really sorry that this is so short, Mr. Janna (cough, cough, I hope you’re reading this) gave us far too much homework tonight.
Bye!

One final thing, please remember to indent your paragraphs after you import your text to the blog. It will make it much easier to read.

I'm pleased to see that even with an exorbitant amount of homework, you were able to find poetic meaning in Bradbury's broken glass simile.
