Book Review:Doomed

I just finished Doomed and I found it really interesting because it showed what would happen if a worm were to destroy the grid. No electricity, no phone service, and the point of no return. Join Pandora, Theo, and Eli as they play the game Pandora's Box to save the world. Pandora's Box was a game created by Pandora's long lost father in hopes of creating a better world. On Pandora's seventeenth birthday she gets an email from her father with a link to a blog that her dad created talking about how they'd used to be so close. Within the blog are twelve pictures of her past in which Pandora downloads, unknowingly she unleashes the worm as well. Now it's up to her to play the game and save the world. Could her past really be the key to saving the world?

I would recommend Doomed to anyone that likes to read fictional texts as well as people who like action, gaming and Greek mythology. I personally would rate it a 5 out of 5. I enjoyed this book because it's really suspenseful and the characters are really well developed.

Characterization in Fahrenheit 451: Clarisse

The character I chose was Clarisse, who is this really peculiar girl who questions why a lot. She seems cheerful in her own little way. It seems like she's been doing some reading because she questions Montag about what firemen did in the past. She also ponders a lot about stuff that most people don't think about which also makes me think she's been reading books and the fact that her family has been suspected of keeping books also makes her and her family seem peculiar. I imagine Clarisse looking like this:

 


An important quote said by Clarisse is: "I'm seventeen and I'm crazy"(Bradbury11).
An important quote said about her Clarisse is : "The girl? She was a time bomb. The family had been feeding her subconscious, I'm sure, from what I saw of her school record. She didn't want to know how a thing was done, but why" (Bradbury 64).

1. What makes Clarisse different from many of the people in her society?
What makes Clarisse different from the people in her society is the fact that she doesn't wonder how things are done but why things are done.

2. What is Clarisse's overall attitude towards firemen?
She seems curious about the past purpose of firemen. She seems to have a good attitude towards Montag because in the beginning of the book it talks about how she thinks Montag is different from the other firemen which leads me to think she has a good attitude towards Montag.  Towards the other firemen it seems like she has a different attitude towards them because it mentions that her family has a bad past with firemen in Chicago.
