what the hell is wrong with kids these days? Do your own homework. You may get a little smarter in doing so!

thats no way to get karma and since when is it wrong to ask for help and telling people to do there own homework when they ask for help on NS isn't funny or clever its just repetitive and stupid and leads to a post count of 11 thousand

Yeah, good book. sounds like an easy assignment.  I'll give you a hint, you can reference rage against the machine.

Ugh I rememberhaving to read that book back  in high school, I think it was one of the most boring books I've read. Did not appeal to me.

How could that book be boring?  It's really thought-provoking, and there's quite a bit of action for those who don't want to think that hard.

As far as the thesis goes, you should really check out the book, it's one of my favorites.  It'll only take a few hours to read and would be really interesting to write about.  There's so much going on in it that you could really go anywhere with it.

this summer my friend filled the back of his truck with books that the school was throwing away, we burned so many fucking epic books. im talking shit like the oddessy and the illiad, hamlet, romeo and juliet, ordinary people, everrrrryyyyything. but the funniest was when i pulled together a stack of ferenheit 451s and burned them all. good fire.

nobody is allowed to give this kid shit saying donate it to charity or some shit like that.  every school does it and chances are youve never done anything to remedy the situation.  just a little preemptive STFU strike.  this shows how low my confidence is for NS nowadays.

It was quite a while ago, so I dont remember the finer points as to why I disliked the book. I just remember finding it to be a very exhausting read.
Possibly because it kept insisting on a point that I found incredibly obvious. But once again, it was some time ago so I may be off on my reasoning.

Didn't they make a movie about that book kind of? Equilibrium is what it was called I think. I know its not based on it but I think it has alot of the same kind of things. Sweet movie though

Thats irony bro.


But yeah, thats not so bad compared to what our local libraries are doing. They're tossing all the paperbacks in our system. However, they still get new books in paperback, so they sit on the "new reads!" shelf until space gets short and they get removed... and are then supposed to be destroyed. We're talking new books here too, like McCains book, Obama's book, new sci-fi and stuff by authors who are still touring the talk shows with their book when the library system decides to toss it. Lucky for me, my mom's a rebel and has started to steal the books from the 'destroy' bin... needless to say, I'm amassing quite a collection.

Summary: GO THROUGH YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY'S DUMPSTER FOR NEW BOOKS.

Discuss Montag’s relationship with Mildred. Is this a typical marital relationship in their culture? Discuss the role of family in the characters’ lives, particularly in relation to the TV parlor families and their nature and function.

or

Describe Clarisse’s effect on Montag and her function in the novel. How and why does she change him? Why does she vanish from the novel?

not sure if you could form a thesis from these, but yeah.
