In case u forgot

English 12
Fahrenheit 451 Growing Up Online Brick
“ An hour of TV class, an hour of basketball or baseball or running, another hour of transcription history or painting pictures, and more sports, but do you know, we never ask questions, or at least most don’t; they just run the answers at you, bing, bing, bing, and us sitting there for four more hours of film teacher.” Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
This summer you will read Ray Bradbury’s dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451. The book explicitly focuses on the burning of books, but underlying themes explore, in particular the effects of media and the power of governmental control over a society.
As you read you should annotate your book and keep track of:
References to Media
References to Work
References to Governmental Control
Keep a list of allusions (note many are to authors, philosophers, famous characters…..)
Use the space at the front and back of your book to keep track of your notations.
Write something at the top of every second page. It may be a personal response question, a comment on the story or an observation about language. Please keep track of all the ideas that you have as you read. Fill the margins. Use post-its. Your book should be worn with love, use and analysis when you arrive back to school in August.
After reading you should complete the following:
Watch Growing Up Online at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/kidsonline/
a) Answer the following on paper, handwritten.
What does Fahrenheit 451 predict about the use of television? Consider this with reference to the role of television and the internet in our society today? What conclusions can be drawn about the presence of media in this book burning universe and our own?
Your answer will be 2-3 pages in length, with good paragraph and essay structure.
Now go to http://www.rcjohnso.com/BrickScript.html and download the
pdf of the novella Brick

detective is physically and psychologically tough, takes a beating and comes back for more
detective lives by own rules, has own moral code
detective works to protect the weak, those who cannot take care of themselves
language used is common, colloquial, simple, yet full of descriptive imagery
detective speaks using lots of slang and idiomatic language
plot is highly detailed, yet narrative structure is simple - CRIME-INVESTIGATION-PUNISHMENT
Hand write a good papragraph for each of these elements using examples and quotes from the text (minimum 3 examples per element)
Last but not least...
Choose 1 scene each from Brick & Fahrenheit 451 which you feel would look great on film. Write a paragraph for each explaining why, and what about the scene would look so cool.
