Books vs Movies

This post is for juniors only.

As crazy and out of contral as Mark Borchardt seems, he has one thing in common with Guy Montag (and Ray Bradbury) - they are both passionate. Montag (and Bradbury) are passionate about books...
...and Mark is passionate about movies...
For this entry, please reflect on one of the following topics. Please keep in mind that your responses should be thoughtful and thorough. They should be paragraph length. Grammar, spelling and mechanics all count. You only need to reflect on one of the prompts. Where you go with it is up to you.
  • Which are more important to society - books or movies?
  • What heroic qualities do Mark and Montag both possess?
  • What character flaws do Mark and Montag both possess?
  • Whose story is more tragic - Mark's or Montag's?
  • Montag's passion for books makes him heroic, and yet Mark's passion for movies makes him foolish. How do you account for this difference?
