It was Trevor’s ideas and influence that led the gang to destroy Mr. Thomas’s house; it was Trevor who had the most impact on the story. This concludes that he is the central character; the protagonist.
Not only does Mildred leave, but as her final act of betrayal, she calls in Montag`s illegal books into the police chief, who then forces him to burn his own books and house. This is not only the main turning point in the book but would also make for a dramatic preview, should this book be made into a movie. Another scene that would make a suspenseful preview would be Montag`s reaction to the news of Clarisse being hit by a car and killed. Also, the scene were the government declares war and begins bombing the city would make a very dramatic and enthralling trailer. I consider this scene the most suspenseful scene and after the city have been bombed, Montag and his new friends go in search of survivors to create a new and knowledge filled society.

In The Lottery, the younger generations of the town's population have begun to speak out against the annual stoning (Jackson). These youths cite the fact that many neighboring towns have already done away with the lottery, and they feel as though they too should dispense with the antiquated ritual. These youths represent the mirror image of the groups who opposed Hitler's regime in Nazi Germany. Also in the story is an elderly male character who reprimands the youths for their idealism and departure from norms and traditions (Jackson). He is more comfortable and content to keep with the ritual of stoning an innocent town's person to death every year.
Firstly, Brown uses a case study to encourage the readers to respond on an emotional level. This is achieved by discussing the tragic incident of 19 year old Brian Naylor, a night out on the town with a few mates is soon ruined by a group of alcohol fuelled teens that ‘viciously’ attack him and his friends.

The reader’s emotional response positions them to share Brown’s
Johnny Hernandez Mrs. James 2 February 2015 Juveniles as Adults I believe that juveniles should be tried as adults because they are old enough to know what they are doing, the juvenile system fails, and teen’s parents/childhood. The reason I think this is because I read a story about a kid named Greg Ousley who murdered his parents because he felt like he wasn’t loved enough, he felt like all he did was embarrassed his parents.

So he said, “He has to kill them”, so later that night he shots his parents with a 12-guage shotgun in the head. Then tries to play it off as if someone came to his house, murdered his parents.
