I am an an-ar-CHIST-uh!

This is from an online discussion of Fahrenheit 451.


Discussion Question: "An epigraph is a quotation at the beginning of novel or story that suggests its THEME. Fahrenheit 451's epigraph is: "If they give you ruled paper, write the other way." - Juan Ramon Jimenez. What do you think this will mean to the story?"

Response 1: "i think it means go against the rules of sciety and change the norm." (Fair enough.)

Response 2: "Change the way we are used to things" (Reasonable.)

Response 3: "Express yourself, not what people want you to be." (I like it.)

Response 4: "mabe that he does like his job and he wants to change it and the theme might be about changing his ways" (Actually a fairly solid prediction--I'm digging these responses.)

Response 5: "Disobey every rule that has ever been written."


Hell yeah!
