Plot For Seriously I'm Kidding

       I am up to page 57 in Seriously I'm Kidding and have realized something. There is no plot or characters. That is because Ellen Degeneres, the author, didn't write a fictional book with characters. The characters are the people she sees everyday and herself. She is basically writing about herself and anything that has happened to her that is comedic. Her main goal of the book was to bring people joy and entertainment by reading something that is funny and you don't take serious. That's probably why people choose to read this book to relax, laugh, and not have to get emotional about characters in a silly fictional book. I recommend reading this book, even from just explaining the plot only.

Seriously I'm Kidding

      You may have heard of Ellen Degeneres from her show Ellen Degeneres. She is at it again with hr book Seriously I'm Kidding.  Her book consists of many little chapters where she talks about many different things that we can relate to. I have read to page 33. The chapters within these pages are: Writing This Book,  CoverGirl, Stuff, Personally Speaking The Secret of Life, The Secret of Life-Part Two, and Thunderclap: A Short Short Story. 

      I would say my favorite chapter was CoverGirl, because she tells you these ways to be a supermodel and they are like ridiculous things. Basically, the whole book consists of satire. She is sarcastic and just makes jokes about her life and really anything. 

Fahrenheit 451

         In Fahrenheit 451, I have started the book before thanksgiving break and have read to the second part. In the first part, the story begins with the setting at a firehouse, but no ordinary firehouse. Firemen are supposed to extinguish fire's right? Not in this book. The government has banned all books and now firemen are burning any book they see. Guy montag is the main character here. He has been working there for 10 years now and seems to know everything about burning books and loves his job, until montag is called to a house with a book citing.

           He is forced to burn every book the homeowner has, which is a heaping pile, and the homeowner refuses to leave. His rules state to light the entire house up and anything inside it, including people. Montag is now sick of that scene he had done the niht before and has taken something back with him that could get him in major trouble. His wife finds the book he has hidden behind his pillow from the night before and is very scared what might happen is Captain Beatty finds it too. which is coinsidence since he is there wondering why montag didnt go to work. Beatty leaves and Montag leads his wife to the opening of an air vent and shows his wife something that nobody could have ever guessed about Montag.
