Run Montag, Run.
I see two possible outcomes of F451:
ONE: Montag joins forces with Faber and a group of other Literary outlaws to bring the knowledge of literature to light.
TWO: Montag is so distraught and cannot cope over his decision to Murder Beatty that he Burns himself like the Old lady in the House in the Beginning of the book.

Journal Topic-3/29/17
When Beatty confronts him in front of his house, Montag resorts to violence and torches Beatty with the Flamethrower. Why is this solution, which would never be a first choice in life, viable in fiction? How does it serve the story? What do you think it will do for the plot-- what's next for Montag?
It's in the future, and it presents a sense of urgency and makes us feel like Montag was justified in his actions. It's a part of the rising action, and it's a direct factor in the Outcome of the story. It will force Montag to go into hiding, and he will continue to read and learn and become self aware to the point where he learns that he's just the Government's puppet.

Montag Kills
Why did Montag Kill Beatty? Beatty had been pushing Montag to his limit, and Clarisse and Faber had made Montag really think fo himself, to which his passion for literature drove him to kill.

Topic: At the End of Part II, why do you think the firemen are at Montag's house? What do you think will happen next?
I presume Mildred spilled the beans and filled out a report. He would've hidden the books in the bushes, so they will think that it was a false alarm.

Journal- 3/16/17
Think about your day yesterday. Did your words and actions support your idea of who you want to be and what you want to accomplish? How can you do better today?
Somewhat, I had issues with the Permission slip going missing and considering my luck I'm screwed. My only option is to roll with the punches and accept that there's no chance now of me being able to attend the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Solvang tomorrow. How I can do better today is to calmly inform all my teachers of the issue so that they're aware I'll probably still come to class tomorrow even after they all signed the slip saying it was perfectly fine for me to attend. Well, I'm certainly never attending another field trip at this shool ever again, as it never seems to work out for me.

F451 Guiding Questions:
1) The society in which Guy Montag Resides in is a future under the rule of a Government that has banned Books, of all things, and his job as a fireman is to Burn all books that remain, to start fires instead of putting them out.
2) Clarisse is more observant than other people in society, and is more curious about the time when Firemen put out fires and you could read without prosecution than the avergae citizen, which make Montag suspicious.
3) The mechanical Hound is Programmed to react to Montag Because his wife's companionship is not enough to make him fell whole, similar to how Gatsby didn't feel whole, so he threw parties.

About that Short Story
In that short story, I took a break from the whole Plot outline thing, there was no rising action, no conflict, no resolution, just a story. I tried to use sensory imagery most of all, and maybe one simile. Not much literary application, but It's long enough to cover the basics, but short enough to keep it interesting.
Short Story
Strawberry Fields Forever-
Yet another Brisk and Chilly Morning was signaled by a sunrise comprised of Dark Blues, Oranges with Pinks, and plenty of clouds to reflect off of, same as any other on the Central Coast. As Normal, I dragged my lazy ass out of bed, took a quick shower, fed the rabbits, and since it was a Saturday, I decided to ride the Bus to Guadalupe to try and catch the little Shortline do its daily switching in the Union pacific Interchange yard.
On the bus, I stared out the window, fighting the urge to doze off(which I've done on the Breeze from Lompoc, poor Bus driver had to wake me up). I watched the Bleak Tan buildings of Main street give way to fields-and lots of 'em. I started to think about the Farm Workers, toiling in the hot sun every day, trying to provide a better life for their Kids then they had when they were my age. I felt bad, never taking the time to recognize the hard work these parents go through, and furious they weren't celebrated more in the community for their contributions to our economy.
When I got to Guad, I headed to the Amtrak station with my battered-yet reliable-iPhone3GS to watch the little engines whir away, shunting cars, smoking and huffing, "Put-Put-Put, Whir, screech, Put-Put" all the while billowing smoke like dragons(Keep in mind, these are Diesels built between 1950 and 1959, not the most "Environmentally Friendly" diesels, but they are old...), blasting their raspy Horns as they headed for Home Base with a line of around 60 uncooperative cars, expressing their annoyance with screeching breaks loud enough to make a Banshee's ears bleed.
After a relatively eventful hour, including an impatient driver who decided to express their dis-pleasement with the Railroad's Daily Operations by a blast of their horn at the Passing engine and a less than impatient Operator who decided to stop on the crossing and sit there for 20 minutes allowing traffic to build up only to remind the driver who's in charge, quite the site. Heading back to the bus stop, I found myself thinking about those fields yet again.
After waiting too long for the bus, I was fed up with the SMAT service and chose to walk the nine miles home, it'd be faster than waiting for that damned bus anyways. Walking back to Santa Maria, I ran across a fruit stand selling fresh strawberries. Being a good member of society, and a huge fan of Strawberries, I took the Five dollar bill out of my pocket that I had brought for lunch and bought a basket full for a snack on the way back.
Before walking off, I noticed how tired the man at the stand looked, his eyes were sunken, weighed down by the ripples under his eyes, his dirty hands from picking the berries for Eight hours straight, and his arched back from bending over for those eight hours in the hot sun. If his back wasn't slouched, he'd be a good 5'10", but his hunch dropped him a good 5 or more inches.
Using the Spanish I'd learned, I asked him "Habla Ingles?" "Minimal" he replied. "I just wanted to say, these strawberries look delicious, and, thank you for your hard work, I really admire what you do every day and I know I would never have the strength to do what you do every day, you all deserve more recognition in the community," I told him. He cracked a toothy smile, and replied "Thank You, Gracias." "Es mi Pleasure, no problemo" I replied him, and continued on my walk.

What I see in literature:
Gatsby:
-Foreshadowing-"The Green Light at the End of the dock of East Egg"-Shows us Gatsby moved to West Egg for a reason
-Allusion(Movie)Myrtle's Dress with the Emerald reflecting the light in the room-References the Dock Light of Daisy and Tom's Estate
-Sensory Imagery-"The pool of Crimson slowly churning down the drain"-Gives us an image of how Gatsby was murdered
Prufrock:
-Personification"The Yellow fog arched it's back, leaped from windows, and rubbed against the legs of unsuspecting pedestrians"-To provide us with a descriptive action in regards to the smoke
-Repetition-"...And for a hundred indecisions, and for a hundred visions and revisions..." show us the connection between the two stanzas and their importance in regards to the Narrator's decisions.
-Onomatopoeia"Insidious"-to give us an Idea of how malicious or evil something is that might threaten the narrator's decision making process.

Can we watch the movie?
How we watch a movie sometimes gives us a visual understanding of the book it's based upon, it might clarify some things for us or completely surprise us about how we imagine an individual.
