Notes 10/8/14

-they are burning the books to keep the people happy

-right now the conflict is inside himself but eventually it will be a real world problem

- Mildred is never full shes never whole she always wants more 

- "... That fell into emptiness and emptiness and never-quite-touched-bottom-.... And you fell so fast you didnt touch the sudes eithere... Never...quite...touched...anything." very unique powerful quote 

- "i meant to tell you. Forgot. Forgot." I bit suspenseful

-mechanical is the living evil. It is the guilt that he feels 

- "her flesh like white bacon" a weird way to explain her but really explanatory

- Mildred only cares about herself and what is concerning her 

• she also is simple minded

• she doesnt have any concern for other human being 

-WHAT TURNS PEOPLE ON TO READING? 

If people find a really great book and there is a series or if they heard great things about it. 

-WHAT CAN MAKE PEOPLE NON INTERESTED IN READING? 

In my opinion people get turned off to reading when they are forced to read. 

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

We are talking about the differences between friend conversations around school an family conversations at home. While walking around listening to all of the roaring conversations there are really only 3 things that i heard. Gossip, Family problems, and how mad or annoyed one was with the other. Talking to your friends is different than talking to your family. When you talk to your friends you talk about everything; how your day has been, why your mad, what your family did wrong, or just for comfort. When at home most people don't talk about that stuff. They talk about thinks like, "how was your day" and the usual response would be "good" or the parents would ask "what did you learn today" and your response would be "nothing" or "idk". There is more communication going on between friends than there is with family.
