When August rushed home, she wasn't sure what she was going to find. The school let out because the storm was arriving, and it d

idn't have a cellar big enough to hold all the students of Nopali School. Since most of them lived nearby, the school allowed them to go home before the storm hit. The students' cheers and whistles could be heard over the thunder and whirring winds that whipped through the schoolyard. August, for just one second, watched them all cheer in glee and wanted so much to join them, but instead, she began running.
As August ran home, she could feel every step in her lungs. It felt like a hundred little lightning bolts shooting down her mouth and into her chest. She wanted to stop. She wanted to catch her breath. She even wanted to turn around to see if the clouds were chasing her down, but all she could think about was her family and her dog Mutton. She wanted to get to them desperately and hoped to see an abandoned house with all of them in the cellar in the backyard.
Behind her, the wind whipped up every bit of gravel and dust into the air. The dust and debris filled the air and clouded the air like cream being stirred into a cup of black coffee. The sky looked like an antique picture. The once blue sky was now a sepia tone that August had only seen in old pictures. It was beautiful in a way, like some sort of painting.
The only problem with tornadoes was that in addition to all of the beauty they painted in the sky, they also brought about destruction. In fact, August's school had been rebuilt twice because tornadoes had brought it down twice in the last 5 years.
August remembered the desks splintered into two, looking like broken bones, the brass bell twisted and tangled like a ball of twine, the roof with holes the size of tractors. She knew first-hand how a tornado could bend a town until it broke. This knowledge is what kept her running. This knowledge is what made it easy to forget about the lightning in her lungs.

Answer: In Canada, Thanksgiving is always celebrated on the second Monday of October.

Explanation: Remember these two things:

-Proper Noun: A proper noun is a noun that identifies a single entity and is used to refer to that entity, such as London, Jupiter, Sarah, or Microsoft, as distinguished from a common noun, which is a noun that refers to a class of entities and may be used when referring to instances of a specific class.

-Noun: A noun is a word that names something, such as a person, place, thing, or idea. In a sentence, nouns can play the role of subject, direct object, indirect object, subject complement, object complement, appositive, or adjective.

Hope this helped! ;)

What does beatty tell montag about how books disappeared? what is your reaction to his explanation?
otez555 [7]
<span>In 'Fahrenheit 451', Beatty tells Montag that the decline of books started during the Civil War era. In that time, radio and television became a big thing, and books were less interesting to the general public. People started wanting to know quick news, celebrity gossip, and about the entertaining things that were going on. They became less interested in books. Books became of less quality, and education declined. He also went on to discuss how different authors disagreed with each other, especially on the war, and therefore, the solution was found to get rid of books. The reaction of his explanation is that people would rather have exciting information whether it was true or not than engage in learning through reading a book. They like to do the least amount of work possible in order to amuse themselves.</span>
