Example of a READING LOG

451 pages 113-123 (Danny Brady's work)

After arriving at Montag's house he sees Mildred run out of the house, stiffen when she passes Montag, and climb into a beatle and zoom off saying, "poor family, poor family, oh everything gone, everything, everything, everything gone now..."; she was the one who called in the alarm. Beatty tells Montag that he must be the one to burn his own house with the flamethrower, and then they will arrest him. Montag takes the flamethrower and enters his house, he first burns some books; then he burns the bed, which lit up in a orange and red blaze; then the bedroom walls; the cosmetics chest; the chairs; the table; everything that showed that he had lived here in this empty house with a strange woman who would forget him tomorrow. If there was no solution, then now there was no problem. Then he went into the parlor and burned the family. When he was done and the house crumbling Beatty seeing montag listening to Faber, strikes him and the green bullet flew out of Montag's ear. Beatty picks it up and says that after arresting Montag they'll go after his friend, Faber. In defiance Montag aims the Flamethrower at Beatty. Beatty thinks that Montag is bluffing and takes a few steps towards him, big mistake, Montag scorches Beatty and then knocks out Black and Stoneman. He drops to the ground depressed about killing a man who he once called a friend, when he recuperates, he gets up and is struck by a car, breaking his leg. Montag forces himself to get up and move because he heard sirens. He first walks, then trots, then he breaks into run to the night.
