2. “Oh yes. Without the fire we can’t be rescued. So we must stay by the fire and make smoke.” (156).
Once Montag witnesses the unethical extent that the firemen would go through to destroy the existence of books, he realizes how corrupt and unjust the societal rules were. “He looked with dismay at the floor. ‘We burned an old woman with her books” (47).
Imagine a world in which there are no books, and every piece of information you learn comes from a screen. In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, this nightmare is a reality. In Fahrenheit 451, Guy Montag is a fireman who instead of putting out fires burns books. He eventually meets Clarisse who changes his outlook on life and inspires him to read books (which are outlawed). This leads to Guy being forced on the run from the government. The culture, themes, and characters in Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451 construct a dystopian future that is terrifying to readers.
His job is to start houses on fire that contain books. Guy loved his job until he came across a professor who told him of a future where people could think. Suddenly, he realizes there is something he needs to do. Both Jonas and Montag live in highly disciplined societies that depend on an effective means of enforcing rules by acts of punishment. The conflict between the power of the individual and the power structures of the communities suggests that radical, yet positive social change may be possible through courageous acts of resistance.
Guy and the other firemen have to burn down the book-infested house of an elderly lady who refuses to leave her house and her books, so she burns to the ground with her books making Guy realize that "There must be something in books, things we can't imagine, to make a woman stay in a burning house; there must be something there." (p.51) Guy sneaks two books from the lady's home and as time goes by, he secretly reads many books until his wife discovers his secret and turns him in. After WHICH, Guy burns his firehouse and the men in it to evade being caught and as a result becomes the most wanted fugitive in his country. Guy escapes successfully and works with a small group of revolutionaries to restore the respect and circulation of books.
Chris Grabenstein’s book, Mr. Lemoncello’s Library Olympics was spectacular. I definitely enjoyed reading this 266 page adventure. I relished this book because it was based on competition- and if you don’t know me I live for competition. I definitely connected with the main character- Kyle Keeley because he will do anything to beat his opponent(s), which includes him running through a thorny rose bush, destroying a few petunias, hurdling some shrubs, and “accidentally breaking a basement window,” just to beat his brothers in a single board game. I haven’t done anything to that extreme, but if there is a “win” on the line, there’s no doubt I might wreck a few things blocking my path. Throughout the book Mr. Lemoncello’s Library Olympics there were many marvelous parts, but there was one that I liked best. My favorite part was when Kyle and Mr. Peckleman had huge stakes on a deal they made. If Kyle got Mr. Peckleman’s riddle wrong, then Woodrow “Woody” Peckleman would burn some of the most popular books from Mr. Lemoncello’s world-known library, burn 32 “go-to-college-free” cards which would crush his new fellow “Library Olympian” friend’s spirits, and as it says in the book: “Mr. Lemoncello” (the gazillionaire) “is going to leave town and his awesomely incredible library will get turned into Mrs. Borington’s Snoozeville Book Depository.” If Kyle Keeley answered the riddle correctly then Woody would not
In Ithaca, New York there is a 7-year-old autistic boy who only spoke to his parents (e.g. I want drink.) Once he was introduced to a horse and an i pad in a special program called Strides. Luke, in an eight-week program using his i pad was able to have his first two-way conversation. He was able to communicate feelings, and express to his friends about how he lost his first tooth. In just this eight-week program Luke is on a whole different playing field when it comes to communication with the help of a tablet.

In order to truly understand the nature of compensatory support I thought it necessary to include a brief comparison to the remediation approach. There are basically two different approaches, which are used to address the learning difficulties by students with disabilities. The first is the remedial approach, which tries to lessen a deficit or improve an area of weakness through additional structured practice or re-teaching of the skill or concept. The second approach is compensatory and tries to work around or bypass a deficit and reduce the barriers to learning by focusing on the strengths of the student. Assistive technology is a compensatory support. For example, if a child is having difficulty expressing ideas in writing due to illegible handwriting, a remedial support may be to work on specific handwriting skills such as re-teaching proper letter formation. A compensatory support might be to teach the student to use a word processing program. It is important to use a balance between remedial and compensatory supports based on the individual needs of the student.
“We are going now, text your wife, I’m sure you can trace that,” he taunted. The buzz coming through my cellphone signaled the call was over. I needed to take a step back and think about it. My mind told me I should shower, my nose agreed. Water wetted my hair as visions of my wife danced through my head. Research! That was what I was going to do; if I set the fire big enough so they could see it but not hot enough that it killed anyone we would all be happy. Wait! I alerted myself, Was I actually considering this? I questioned. Decision told me I should ask more questions. I picked up my phone and started typing.

For the extra credit assignment I have decided to compose as essay describing the great library of Alexandria. The library itself is wrapped up in a great mystery that has had many historians and archeologists heavily interested in its existence for many years. It has been recorded that the library of Alexandria held many thousands, if not millions, of books, volumes and other documents. The library is also believed to be one of the biggest libraries in human history. Its significance is of invaluable knowledge. The mammoth size of such a huge monument for the period of time that is existed is phenomenal. Even though it was significant in it’s time, the destruction of such a beautiful collection of thoughts, novels and other writings is somewhat of a tragic occurrence that has baffled many for years.
A library is a place where documents are organized systematically by the staff for users. Dissemination of information is not only the main function of Library but also preserves the different types of documents for posterity. Preservation and conservation of library documents enable the long time access to documents. Every library depends on their requirements and conditions following different types of preservation and conservation techniques to preserve the world heritage which includes manuscripts, Government records, ephemeral, rare collections, etc.
