The hardest times in friendships are saying goodbye, especially when a friendship is as strong as the friendship that Doug and John have with one another. During chapter 19, Doug has John play statues with him, thinking that time will become slower and his relationship with John will last longer. “’Statues!’ Everyone froze. Very quietly Douglas moved across the lawn where John Huff stood like an iron deer in the twilight” (Bradbury 108-109). In addition, at the end of chapter 19, while John said his last goodbyes to Doug, he made a promise. “’Tom,’ said Douglas, ‘just promise me one thing, okay?’ ‘It’s a promise. What?’ ‘You may be my brother and maybe I hate you sometimes, but stick around, all right?’” (Bradbury 112). At the end of the chapter,
I would rather live in the World State due to life on the “savage reserve” being hazardous. On the reserve, food is not guaranteed. In 1984 it is stated that the environment of the savage reserves is so inhospitable that it is not productive to establish civilization in these areas. To me, living in the World State would mean losing my identity, so I wouldn’t miss the freedoms that I have now. On the other hand, on the savage reserve I would be aware of the missing food and absence of any luxury. Also, based on Bernard’s experience in the book, I would have a hard time fitting in on the reserve as a white person.
Paragraph 1 tone : He seems nervous about this trip He says ,“We’ve all been up since midnight, starting our predive checks after a couple of restless hours of sleep, and the whole team is running on adrenaline. These are the roughest conditions I’ve dived in so far on the expedition” The way he says that they’ve been up the whole night doing checks without sleep and how this is one of the roughest conditions he has dived in so far just gives the sense of nervousness if he will make the challenge.
October 24, 2077, it was around dinner time and all of my family was hungry and when I say my family was hungry I mean it the twins Alec and Logan both sat on the floor begging for me to take them to get Chinese food and my wife sitting there not caring what we ate as long as we had enough money for the week. Chinese food did sound good at the time plus this was new joint that opened up in town so I decided why not and we left. We had to walk a couple blocks to get but the kids didn’t mind walking and my wife did what she always said or did for that matter and said she didn’t care. We could smell the food about one block away and the kids thought it smelled really, really good so they started walking faster, and faster until at a point when
Pg 379- “In Sugamo prison, as he was told of Wantanbe’s fate, all Louie saw was a lost person, a life now beyond redemption. HE felt something that he had never felt for his captor before. With a shiver of amazement, he realized that it was compassion.”
1) “They carried the soldier’s greatest fear, which was the fear of blushing. Men killed, and died, because they were embarrassed not to. It was what had brought them to the war in the first place, nothing positive, no dreams of glory or honor, just to avoid the blush of dishonor. They died so as not to die of embarrassment” (O’Brien 20).
One day, Equality 7-2521 who was filled with joy, sang during dinner and was told off by a Council Member. He tells the Council Member the reason that he sings is because he is happy. The Council Member then retaliates that the reason he should be happy is because he lives with his fellow brothers. After that occurrence, while in his tunnel, Equality 7-2521 meditates on the meaning of happiness and realizes that it is forbidden to be unhappy and that his brothers are unhappy because they are afraid. What makes Equality 7-2521 happy is when he is in his tunnel performing experiments and pursuing his study of light, but in order to do so, he must sneak away because to his and everyone else’s knowledge, the society in which they live in reject an individual’s freedom to pursue individual happiness because true happiness should come from living beside/with your fellow brothers. When one is only able to achieve happiness through a group of people in a society, it is to be expected that its citizens will feel as if life is meaningless and painful. From what Equality 7-2521 has witnessed, it is evident that the flame of independence inside him is growing.
Chapter 4 was insightful in public opinion, because there is a lot to say about it. The political socialization unit was something we all know, but it also allows time to look into the lense of children, I looked at this more intently because I am taking a juvenile delinquency course and we read about exposure to environments as well as the family molding a child is very impactful.

1.) The ending did not surprise me; I think it may have if we hadn’t discussed it in class. I think I would have been very surprised and confused, if I hadn’t known the ending prior to reading it.

Scene 1: A girl takes some psychoactive drugs, and plans to take a break on the sofa. Scene 2: She hears the doorbell, and opens the door. She stands on the porch (extremely deep), and looks to the left then looks to the right—nothing! Scene 3: She comes back, and sits on the sofa. Scene 4: doorbell again.
“Would it be scarier if I told you that I would kill you or just hurt you really bad?”
Heart – Was there something that transformed the way that you feel? I would have to say my son.
I still reminisce the day I ricocheted ascendancy in a math tournament opposing a few worthy adversaries of mine. Exploiting my brain for the imminent Math 24 championship at my school for weeks was an ambition that I practiced diligently to accomplish. Math 24 is a challenge where the judges give you a card with four digits and you must utilize each one in a mathematical expression that equals twenty-four before your host of challengers answer. Thankfully, I only had two friends in my class accompanying me as rivals so the three of us often practiced together. Of course, I slowly but surely improved exceptionally by the time the competition was to commence. Once I entered the room with all my opponents, I was extremely edgy, hesitant,
