Mechanical Hound (Kennie)

My opinion on the Mechanical Hound is I think that is a great piece of artwork and can be very helpful but I wouldn’t use it because it has an evil look to it plus it kind of freaks me out also technology isn’t always reliable it could back fire on anyone you never know. Yes, I believe it is a symbol of dominance in something beside a humans it also is a symbol of something bad because of the way it looks, it just has an evil structure and the actions of it in the story makes me think it’s a symbol of something bad. The hound might suggest a potential base of evil just waiting to happen sometime unexpected in the story. I kind of find it ironic that it is a man made machine doing the things a real life organism would do, also when montage was a firemen and how the hound wasn’t going to attack him but it interrogated him and then at the end of the book the hound tried to kill him when Montag killed captain Beatty and the two other fireman. If the hound was man’s worse enemy the irony there would be that it was built to make life easier for us but it ended up turning it’s back on us and going against us.

Irony and Book Burning (Kennie)

Irony means the expression of one’s meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect. The Nazi where one group of people who burnt books back in the 1900’s, they burned 18,000 in public and 25,000 more books including works by Albert Einstein, Vicki Baum, Bertolt Brecht, Heinrich Heine, Helen Keller, Thomas Mann, Karl Marx, Erich Maria Remarque, Frank Wedekind, Ernest Hemingway and H.G. Wells. Also in May 1940, Belgium was destroyed by the German army and 900,000 books where burned. This was after 300,000 more books were burned in WWI at the same library. The Nazi where burning specific books, the Nazi burned books of the Jewish authors. Do I see irony in people finding motivation to burn books? No I don’t, I think that to burn a book and erase someone’s work from history, you have to want to do it or hate that someone. I think they find their motivation to burn a book in a book, if its against their beliefs or like how the Nazi burned only Jewish books. 

Illusion (Kennie)

What extent can one believe in their own eyes? I believe that one can believe as far and back as the mind could go in it’s own imagine that allows man to visualize through their eyes. People’s feelings or eyes can sometimes blind them from reality drawing them closer to their nature to love and give everything just in the look of eyes or chances given over and over again. Illusion is important because it can make a person feel better or illusion is away of making something feel real and gives it more feeling and can create a picture for the audience to give them a picture in their head as a story goes along or continues with more illusions to give audiences little movies in their head if they visualize it the right way it is supposed to be. Imaginations play a positive and negative in a romance because you could have good imaginations in a relationship that just drives the romance into a good direction also a bad imagination that could cause jealousy or home wrecking in a romance which could be in the middle because it could bring a romance stronger or it could make it weaker but a little jealousy is ok in a romance cause it shows that the other person cares for who you interact with in a certain way in a different manner that shouldn’t be performed to anyone else but a lover. We need illusions to keep our minds strong and out of this world because without it the world wouldn’t have some many great stories to tell or great books to share and imaginations would not be as strong and minds would think alike and be alike which no one would want cause no one would be unique and everyone one would be the same.

Dreams (kennie)

         I think dreams represent the future, and the hopes in life, I think they give people faith to try harder so I think it represent "faith". The power of dreams is faith, which motivates you to complete your goals and achieve high-level rewards, which takes hard work that eventually pays off in the future. Yes they have huge affect because once you have a dream you try ten times harder than you would if you didn’t have dream. Dreams have a big effect in America because America is the land of opportunities because everyone who comes or lives in America has an idea or a dream just waiting to be set free and without those people America wouldn’t be one of the best places in the world. The dreams in America has got America bigger effects than anyone could have ever imagined epically with the new technology that has came out such as tablets, laptops, Flat screen TV, and act and these dreams has become a worldwide product so everything starts with a dream. Yes dreams has affected a big part of my life because I love to dance and I used to dance in talent shows and in front of the camera and it helped me realize that I have a talent that a lot of people enjoy but hopefully I can become famous off of it.
