Do You Think Don Imus Should Be Silenced?

Q: Do You Think Don Imus Should Have Been Silenced?
A: I think Don Imus should think really hard of what he said because he made lots of controversy between people. Don Imus made himself seem as if was racist like thats something that you keep in your mind or shouldn't even think something so horrible . I really don't understand how can you make a remark like that on the radio, don't you even think about other people's feelings. I really don't think that he should be censored but he should not be aloud to talk ton the radio for a while.
The reason that I think that he should not be censored is because there's everyday shows that have racism that is worst than what he said every day, so it wouldn't be fare to censor him and we not censor other shows like for example south park that show uses curse word's and racism all the time. Some people think that it was alright what he said, they think that he should have said it , but if you think about it you have top think about all the kids and their probably thinking that since a grown up sad it then we can say it to but it's not okay for little kid to be walking around calling African American girls "Little Black Hoe's". That can influence lots of children.

Don Imus saying that bad remark brings up so many other conflicks like for example the "N" word, the word that most African American people use. African Americans use this word everywhere in music and, also just to say whats up. Well to conclude this Don Imus should be off be silenced for a while .

Farenheit 451 pg.91-110

Give a very short (1-3 sentence) summary of the two main scenes in this section. The first scence was at home in the living room and the second scene was in the fire house with Beatty.

The first scene was in the living room: Mildred and her friends were sitting in the living room watching "The White Clown" in the parlor. Guy pulls the power and all of the women get scared. They start talking about the war and politics, and the women started being very conceited about their husbands,children and Guy gets angry. Montag reads them poetry from a book and one of the women begins to cry and then says that she is never coming back to their house again.

The second scene was in the fire house with beatty: Montag returns to the fire-house and the men are playing poker. Beatty welcomed him back, saying he is glad he is over his sickness. Beatty begins to mess tourment Montag with a dream he had, explaining that they were throwing literary terms at each other and that everytime Montag would use something clever from a book, Beatty would frustrate him back it with something that contradicted what he said from the same book. Then there is an alarm, and when they arrive at the house, it is Montags.

1) Find a sentence or two that has strong adjectives and/or verbs. Quote the book and explain why these are strong descriptive words and why they are effective. How do they appeal to the senses? What mental images do they invoke?
