1. Summarize what happens in one or two sentences.
Montag has been caught harboring books within his house, and Beatty orders him to burn down his house. At first, Montag is hesitant, but then he sees Millie leaving him, and he goes into primal instinct mode. Once Montag is done burning everything he once owned, Beatty tries to arrest him, but Montag burns him as well, and becomes a fugitive on the run
2. On your blog, copy down one sentence from this reading selection that strikes you as particularly descriptive. Which of the 5 senses does it appeal to? What verbs, adjectives, or figurative language are used and why are they effective in describing a certain action, person, or thing?
"And then he was a shrieking blaze, a jumping, sprawling gibbering mannikin, no longer human or known, all writhing flame on the lawn as Montag shot one continuous pulse of liquid fire on him."
This appeals to sight, sound, and smell. I really thought that the mannequin metaphor conveyed a really haunting image. The idea of a man flopping along the lawn, covered in flame, no longer recognizable as a human... Eek. It's creepy.
Now that that's out of the way... If anyone reading this is good at spriting, please contact me at setokaiba800 at gmail dot com. I really need a spritist for the game I'm making, and Julian Grijalva is as lazy as always.

I have no idea what a "spriting" is, but I want to compliment you on the thoughfullness you put into your blog. I have not been able to read all of it, but you have piqued my interest so it is on my list of things to do.
See my comments on your Plato post.
