YAY! My last Post for Fahrenhiet 451:)

MOOOOOOOOOd

The mood of Fahrenheit is very dark, morose, and lifeless.
There are basically no happy, light, fun parts in this book. It reminds me of a dark room with no windows. The mood is just plain dark. Guy kills Captain Beatty, the Hound and people are trying to kill Guy, Guy and his fire department burn a lady alive, Mildred dumps Guys, Clarisse was killed just because someone felt like running her over, and the whole city gets blown up. This whole book is basically about death and death is not a happy thing that you sing songs about with little children. No, it is a dark, sad thing. That is why I thought the mood of Fahrenheit is dark.
I also think the mood is morose. Morose means gloomily or sullenly ill-humored. That is exactly what I think the mood is. Everything that happens makes me feel gloomily because it’s so dark. And if it was meant to be funny, I didn’t laugh. Even if I wanted too I don’t think I could find a single thing to laugh about.
I also think the mood is lifeless. Mood is all about feelings and emotions, however when I read this book I didn’t get any strong feelings and emotions. It was lifeless; I didn’t really make me feel anything.
Even though the novel’s mood was dark, morose and lifeless I didn’t feel sad. A book can only make me feel sad if the pain seems realistic; I have to feel it in order to be sad. And to feel the pain I have to feel connected to the characters and the characters have to seem real. (Since the characters are the ones experiencing the pain). I was reading this book one night in bed, I think its called The Shunning but I'm not sure. Anyways, the main caharacter seemed so realistic to methat when she experienced pain I cry my eyes out and couldn't go to sleep. Becuase I connected to her and I really felt her pain, I was extremely sad. But in Fahrenheit 451 I couldn’t really connect to any of the characters (except maybe Clarisse) so therefore, I didn’t feel sad for them when painful events happened.
So this novel’s mood to me was dark, morose, and lifeless.
