2. On your blog, copy down one sentence from this reading selection that strikes you as particularly descriptive. Which of the 5 senses does it appeal to? What verbs, adjectives, or figurative language are used and why are they effective in describing a certain action, person, or thing?
"Montag caught it with a bloom of fire, a single wondrous blossom that curled in petals of yellow and blue and orange about the metal dog."
I especially liked this entry in particular because it compares the lethal fire to a beautiful flower. I think that it is a good example of figurative language because it paints a serene scene in your mind that makes you think of the awesome power of the fire and yet reminds you that at the same time it is a beautiful thing.
