The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

The book that I am currently reading is "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown. The book is about a Harvard professor, Rober Langdon, is invited to lead a seminar at the Capitol Building. During the time that he is there, there is a mysterious man, who was the one who invited Langdon there, who has placed clues around the Capital Building; after Langdon realized that he was lead there to do a task for him, which is for Langdon's friend's life, who is being held hostage by him. Langdon knows that if he gives the man what he wants in exchange for Peter's life, the results would be dangerous.

The Autor of this book, Dan Brown, is a good author, and he has written other suspence and thrill novels, such as The Da Vinci Code, Deception Point, and Digital Fortress. If you like novels that keep you on the edge of your seat, I'd recommend reading his books

Characterization in Fahrenheit 451

In this post about Characterization in Fahrenheit 451, I am going to write a little bit about the characterazation of Mildred. Mildred is Montag's wife in the book, and she is one of the main characters introduced in the begining of the book. From some of her actions in the first scene where she was introduced, it is shown that Mildred has taken a bottle of pills and passed out. I can infer that Mildred doesn't like the society that she lives in, and would pefer to not be a part of it, or she is confused about how the society she is in is supposed to work/help her. Her feelings toward Montag are a little sketchy in the first scenes she is in, and she doesn't really show any emotions towards him for helping her after she passed out, and she looks like she uses him for financial support and money, as she wanted to use 1/3 of his yearly pay for things around the house, such as a large television.

Some important quotes that she has said is "What about last night?" That is refering to the events the night before, as she had no idea of what happened after she had passed out, and if she did remember what had happened, she may have been trying to ignore what had happened. A quote that Montag had said about her is "I wanted to talk to you...You took all the pills in your bottle last night." This says that Mildred had taken the pills, and she was presumably unaware that she had, and because she took them all, she had made Montag worried about her and her actions.
