Firemen

Hi everyone. Do me a favor... read your peers blogs so that I don't have to read a bunch of redundant information. React to what your classmates say. Try to interact with each other through this blog. Here we go...

1. Describe the role of firemen today; how are they generally received by the public?

2. How did 9/11 affect our perceptions of firemen?

3. How are firemen perceived by the public in Fahrenheit 451? (page 7) Why do you think this is?

Censorship

Hey everyone-
Third Hour: I remembered to give you each a number for your blog responses. Do the response according to what I assigned in class.

Fourth hour: I forgot. Please answer the number according to your last name initial: a-f answer #1; g-n answer #2; m-z answer #3. Sorry for the confusion.

1. Is it okay to have books on making bombs in the school library?
2. Will banning books keep people from reading them?
3. Television shows are censored, so are song lyrics—what makes books different?
