THE FINAL
You will write a reflection that considers What is Good, What is True, and What is Beautiful.
You will reflect on these questions by using at least two texts we read/studied during the year.
You will need textual evidence to expand our reflection. You can mark quotes prior to the class final,
but there can be no other outside writing for the final.
You will be graded according to the district Grade 11-12 Narrative Writing Rubric which can be found on the school's website.
I encourage you to peruse this rubric prior to the final.

The idea of throwing people away suggests that there is an inability to create connection with people in the novel. Montag’s assessment comes after his initial discussion with Clarisse; and, as evidenced in the remainder of the novel, he attempts to move beyond the reduction of throwing away human beings.
