Characters main conflict in the novel and how they deal with it...

Miles Ryan, the main character in this novel has just introduced the main conflict of what Ive read so far. His conflict consists of his wife, Missy dying in a hit-and-run accident two years ago and having to be an only parent to his young son Jonah. He has been trying to be the best father that he can be to Jonah but being the only one has been a real struggle for Miles. Miles thinks that if he trys to bring a woman into Jonahs life Jonah and himself will live more happily together. For Jonah not to have a mom is something Miles does not like to have. Miles actions so far to this conflict have shown how good of a person he is. He does everything on is own and still manages to father his son. He is very interested in finding someone to share his life with after a very long recovery to what had happened to his wife, and has already started this with a girl named Sarah Andrews.

A Bend in the Road

I chose to read A Bend in the Road by Nicholas Sparks. Nicholas Sparks is know to write great books.
Many of his books relate around a love story. I am the type of person who is interested in reading love story type books. Many of his books have a good story behind them, some even have slight twists to engage you more in the book you are reading. I feel like i am going to enjoy reading this book. Hopefully it will inspire me to read more of his books in the future.

Fahrenheit 451 Theme

A theme that relates to Fahrenheit 451 includes: In the wrong hands, technology can be dangerous. This is shown very well in the first section of this book. Most of the ways technology is used has many ways of being dangerous. One way this is shown is on page 17, this says,"Maybe you took two pills and forgot and took two more, and forgot again and took two more, and were so dopey you kept right on until you had thirty or forty of them in you." This specific quote shows how having the ability to keep pills on you can be very dangerous. People can make bad decisions being able to have them and use them for the wrong purpose. In the book this quote is relating to Mildred and how taking so many pills can be dangerous and even lead to death. Through out the course of the entire book we are going to see many more examples that have to do with this specific theme and a few others.
