“All’s well that is well in the end” — Pleasure Reading Session
Hey, folks! I haven’t written here for so long, at least I rather think so. By the way, I have read a certain number of pages, so that I feel free to share my impressions with you. I’m closer and closer to the end of the book, and I really can’t even suppose what will be at the end of the plot. I mean it, it is really unpredictable. For instance, when I was reading my 50 pages, so many events and plot twists happened! To cut a long story short, I’m officially intrigued by the final. Fingers crossed, Guy Montag will be okay.
Please take a look at a few of the new words:
Cowardice [ ˈkɑʊərdɪs]-трусость
To fidget [ ˈfɪdʒət]-ёрзать
To jabber [ˈdʒæbɚ]-бормотать
A traitor [ ˈtreɪ.t̬ɚ]-изменщик, предатель
Welter [ ˈwelt̬ɚ]-сумбур, путаница
Symbols
What’s more, I would like to talk to you a bit about the symbols in the book. I’m really happy because as for MY book, there are many of them. Some of the symbols aren’t really conspicuous but I can tell about a few of them.
For starters, the Seashell radio (a small green bullet which was given to Guy by Faber). Frankly, I don’t know what the author meant when he remarked it, but I can only suppose what does it mean in the whole plot. To begin with, this little thing is for listening to what’s happening on the other end of the line. Faber’s voice sounded inside Guy’s head as if the old man stood right next to him. From where I’m sitting, it means a constant attendance of Faber in Guy’s life as a choice in favor of books. This green bullet appeared in Montag’s life as suddenly as Faber. In addition, in the episode where Captain Beatty put the Seashell off Guy’s ear and put it into Montag that Faver and Captain Beatty died altogether because he couldn’t hear Faber’s voice inside his head anymore.
However, while reading I have picked out one more symbol, at least personally for me, it means fairly enough. It was in the episode when Guy got back home after the conversation with Faber about the books. He saw his house, and when he came in, he looked at his wife sitting at the table with her friends. They were talking, gossiping and chewing the fat. While glancing at the women, it seemed to Guy that he was in a church. Actually, it was something like a flashback to his childhood when he went to the church once. He felt the same way when he was looking at the women who were from another universe because they didn’t prefer to read and think about something serious. They were strangers for Guy Montag. That’s why he compared it with the situation when he was in a church. It seemed to him, that they belonged to another religion, and he didn’t know what the religion was because he chose common sense instead of ignorance.
Description
By the way, I found a nice description of nature in this book. It’s awesome that’s why let me share it with you:
You could feel the war getting ready in the sky that night. The way the clouds moved aside and came back, and the way the stars looked, a million of them swimming between the clouds, like the enemy discs, and the feeling that the sky might fall upon the city and turn it to chalk dust, and the moon go up in red fire; that was how the night felt.
Reading this description I can feel the cool night wind on my skin. It feels like the sky looks like a part of the open space. I can see the constant movements of the transparent clouds and I even can hear them. It smells like after the rain.
The role of this description is to show Guy’s state to the reader.
