Staying Power
The ones that stayed in your memory about the book you read is the important ideas that you need to know in the story. the ones that don't stay in your memory is the not important ideas that you don't really need to know in the story.
My Memory of Reading
I remember that we are reading about introducing Guy Montag meeting Clarisse and she ask he if he is happy about his life, or not because this cause him to be confuse. After he came home, Montag saw his wife, Mildred got overdose. Two people came to their home and they just put a tube in her and told Montag that she will get better and forget everything after she waked up and the two people don't really care.

The Right To Read
November 17, 2018
Dear President of the United States,
Why is it your choice to choose to have outlaws of reading? Do you even know what we going through today with our life? No you don't even know what we going through today. I decided to write this letter because you have no right to change the rules of reading. Reading makes us think through life. It makes us imagine like a picture, an animation, a real-life movie, or a dream like it's the real world to us. Reading is the writing of the author's choice of how they want to write their own stories. Everywhere in this world we always read no matters what because we have read what we need to understand when we are growing and becoming strong. You also, have no right to make reading illegal because you always have to read papers everyday and give out speeches around the world so this won't causes you to think of what you say. At the same time, you don't even think so what you say anyways and your actions of what you are doing to this country.

F451 & Me
The connection that I read in the story is about the values, or rules that the story and we go through today. The story tells about that it's illegal to have books because they want to burn it down which causes people not to think as much in the story. In our time in modern of America, I know that not people doesn't read books as much as we used to because many people mostly read on their cellphones. The similarity between these two are not much a people are reading books as we used to.
Another connection that I read in the story is Guy Monatg. In this story Guy Montag doesn't really think, or feel as much of what he is doing with his life. In our time in modern of America, we always think and plan of what we wanted to do with our life because later on we get to feel if we made the right choice, or not. The difference between these two is that one always thinks and the other doesn't really think of what they are doing of what they are doing with their life.
The final connection that I read in the story is the events of what is happening in the places like school (this part is later on in the story because we haven't read this part yet). In this story, It tells that students don't have people, or teacher teaching the students how to do their work. The students have to learn through by someone being on the screen, or computer. In our time in modern America, We have teachers to always teach us how do our work even if we needed help, and we can use on cellphones to learn parts that we needed in life at school. The difference between these two is some that is there for us, or not.

Story In My Life
Today, I woke up around four in the morning. Me and my older brother had to get ready to go to Los Angeles. After we are done getting ready, we said our goodbyes to our family and leave on a three hour drive.
I only stayed up an hour looking outside. I also creat imagines of what life can be like, or imagine a world that can never come true. There are mountains that are far away and rising up and up away towards the sky. The grass on the ground that turn into dirt that needs water fill with air. The cows exploring around their farm everyday and night are aching far and wide. The trees that have been growing and living around the land. Finally, the beautiful sky with the beautiful sunset rising up with a bright sunlight.
An hour, or two later, I looked up at the city as it can be. There are cars that are filling up traffic that comes out everyday. Is there an accident, or are you all just being slow as always? Buildings are high in the sky blocking the beautiful sun that I can see. Arts and sculptures written on the walls and created from land which gives us imagination. Finally, the speakers of the land saying it’s time to go and explore the land that I have forgotten.
I finally at Los Angeles, and I haven’t been there for two years. The traffic began with cars lining up just for a car ticket to stay a place we can park at, and let’s play my friends to world in the journey of a land. After a waiting of a line of walking and checking our bags, we made through a ride to begin our journey. The journey that will soon make us wait more, and more.
After we wanted again, we finally made it. We made it to our world and land of imagination. We decided to go to land of imagination. First, we went to a place that we feel like we are flying through the sky. I feel like I’m the stars going through the night. Then, we went on a swamp which comes high to low, back and forth. The rain of the water fountain splashing in my face and my glasses, too. Next, we went a beautiful and very cold breeze of the cave. The adventure of the underground place that bring back to time of ancient ruins. After all the adventures I went through, we decided to get us lunch. Well, it was like a snack to me. My older brother got a chicken leg and I got a churro. After we ate, I wanted to go on adventure at the world of imagination. Unfortunately, we only bought something for our mom and aunts because the adventure was too full and a very long time to wait. Wel, that’s my adventure from traveling away home and being at Disneyland.

So This Guy Goes For A Walk
His life is contributed of his tone being confuse and mysterious about why the policeman caught him walking on the sidewalk during the night. His life is contributed of his character because I think he is adventurous like he wants to explore and walk around every single night for years. His life contributed of the plot of the story by not understanding why he can't imagine anything and walk away freely whenever he wants.

My Author, My Hero
Today, I will write about Mary Pope Osborne is was my author and hero when I was a little kid. She is the author and writer of the "Magic Tree House" series. The stories are mostly about that Jack and Annie (which they are siblings) go to their tree house in the woods and look for a book in a the tree house and said, "I wish I can go there!". Then, the tree house will teleport to the time of that event of the place that they wanted to go to and save what is happening to the people in that place in that period of time. Mary Pope Osborne was a hero to me because she is author that wants you to imagine that you are travels through time that makes you want to know what actually happen at that time in the past. She is also a hero to me to inspired that I want to read more of her books that I can feel like I can travel the world and interact with other people that I will never meet.

In Thoreau's Words
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."
→ He is telling us to work hard and that will go towards the dream that you want to do. While you are going towards you dreams, you can explore and do new things that can make us do anything with our dreams.
"Not until we are lost do we begin understand ourselves."
→ He is telling that we can be confuse of what we are doing because we can explore and understand ourselves better that way.
"Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence."
→ He is telling us that we can go through any path even though it can be tough time to go through because people will always love and respect of what you want to go through.
The significance of Thoreau's quotes are the path of we want to choose to do in our life even though it will be tough for us to go through, but people that you love will always respect you no matter what. They refer imagination, dreams, love, respect, understand, and lost of what we do in life.
