Couplet
On one special case
The firemen raced.
To a house where the books weren’t alone
A woman was found there sitting alone.
“Tonight, someone had slipped” Montag thought
The woman was not what they had sought.
The others threw books down for burning
However, Montag’s mind was turning.
He “plunged the book back under his arm”
And thought his hand had just done some harm.
He hid it under his pillow later that night
And didn’t want it to be in anyone’s sight.
Haiku
Season of Autumn
Having books are illegal
Burning them is great
(Ray Bradbury) About the Author (Acrostic)
Rejected by the military during World War II because of bad eyesight.
Awarded at least 18 times for his literature.
Yearned to read and know more.
Born on August 22, 1920.
Raised in Waukegan, Illinois.
Attended Los Angeles High School.

Best known for poetic, short stories of childhood and dangers of technology.
Unlocked the important meaning of literature.
Remembered for his greatest work, Fahrenheit 451.
Young when he first started writing at the age of twelve.
Hard work is the theme The load will one day decrease Success is such a treat I have a dream.
Going to the extreme Space rockets and rovers will be released The people will see through the politicians deceits' We have a dream.
Working as a team, A world at peace And no fiery heat Everyone has a dream.
To be me Is to be free Like the dandelions in the breeze That puts people at ease. Always thinking Like a clock that doesn't stop ticking.
I am smart And good at heart Sometimes quiet But not what it seems Enough to not start a riot!
Always passionate about learning But sometimes it's hard to keep on going. The work is always running Never stopping for breath.
A day's workload Is the code To a future full of dough.
Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.
— Oscar Wilde.
This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
