Fahrenheit+451

**Vocabulary for Fahrenheit 451**
  __Choose at least 15 words that you do not know from the Part 3 list__. For each word: 1). Locate the word in the novel. Locate the word in a dictionary (online dictionary is OK). 2). Write __your own__ definition of this word, as it is used in the novel. 3). Write this word into __your own__ sentence (it must have at least the same number of words as your age). 4). Study these words so that you will be able to use them in upcoming vocabulary assignments. (Note: someone borrowed my last white covered book, so I do not have it to determine the page number for all of these words. In general, the white cover is 2-3 pages ahead of the purple cover. Please use this guideline to find the words yourself. Hopefully I can update the list when my book is returned on Monday).  Part II: The Sieve and The Sand **
