cover
The cover of the book The Island of the Blue Dolphins is very welcoming. it shows calm colors and the girl looks relaxed and at home. i belive that the cover is a really good representation of the book's plot too. the girl is in love with her home (the island) and she will do anything to protect it, its her world. the dolphins in the cover show and represent thye wildlife and tropical flow of the island. so far the island is exactly how it is described in the book. i recoment checking it out for yourself!

setting
The setting of the book Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell is the island of the blue dolphins. the island is best described on page 16 (last paragraph)- pg 17 (first two paragraphs.) The island is told to be windy with many tropical trees and canyons. The setting is very important in the plot of this story. There are two tribes, the natives and an intruding party. The intruders want the island and are planning to take it away from the natives. This is obviously the starting of the plot in this story. The setting is also a mystery factor in the story. The island is constantly making obsticals for the intruders, making the story a little more interesting.

Fahrenheit 451
The most important paragraph from part 1 is pg 43 paragraph 2:
"That's all very well," cried Montag, "but what are they mad about? who are these people? Who's that man and who's that woman..." It is the most important because it shows the more humane side of Montag, and it shows how he is starting to question the society he lives in. this is like the turning point of the story. The turning point is extremely important, it gives the reader a since that something new and exiting will be happening. Also, this paragraph helps define the flaws of the society. Monag is beginning to question things, just like Clairese. i cant help but to wonder if the society has gotten a problem that is starting to spread throughout the population. If so, i predict a revolution. This paragraph helps provide a since of revolution, which is very important to this book.
