THERE WILL ONLY BE ONE (1) BLOG THIS WEEK.  It is due Wednesday September 17 @ 11:59pm

Early in the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Montag is questioned by Clarisse about whether or not "he is happy" (7).  Montag feels as if he is being challenged by this "pure" teenager.

Who do you feel challenges you? Take a SELFIE with the person/people that have challenged you.  E-mail the selfie to gkatz@lbpearson.ca and on the blog site write about how this person or these people have challenged you.  Good Luck :)

We all have many possessions that we cherish.  Some of my greatest childhood possessions I have carried with me to my new house and hope to pass down to my children when they are older; obviously in hope that they cherish these great possessions as much as I did when I was young.  I know that if I lost any of these I would be absolutely devastated.

What one possession would leave you devastated if it was lost or destroyed?  Why is it so significant to you? Explain.
