From were I left off was when El Capitan was watching the Special forces members spell out the word, "HASTINGS." El Capitan then sees the special forces member sprinting away from the tree. The special forces member waits for El Capitan because he wants El Capitan to follow him. Then he leads him to a place which used to be a city. When he looks down in front of the dome he sees what are known as crazies. And they are building something made of timber in front of the dome.
El Capitan says,"Almost looks like they're going to try to build a fire." (Pg. 47) Now I am on a section for Pressia. She has gone to a Morgue with Bradwell and he has this egg shapes thing. What he does is he asks it questions and it tells them the answer. Bradwell tells Pressia that one day he was babbling on and it started beeping like a game show buzz. Pressia really wanted to hear it so Bradwell tried to retrace his words. But when he recited his words, they all came out to be something about Pressia.
Which surprised her, but she thinks she is falling for Bradwell again. But then he say something and the little egg goes off and it says,"Seven, seven, seven, seven,seven,seven, seven,"(Pg 59). They then figure out that seven is for seven names. Seven names to unlock the secrets of this little contraption. So then Pressia starts shouting out names that she remembers. And three of the seven green lights glow. That's as far as I've gotten, but I wonder if they will ever unlock the secrets?

Fahrenheit 451 Post
There is a man named Montag who works for a fire department. But the funny thing is, is that they don't put out fires, they start them. One day Montag was walking home and this girl named Clarisse McClellen walks with him all the way home. They talk for a really long time. Montag sort of thinks that Clarisse is kind of out there, if you know what I mean. But then Clarisse asks Montag a very simple but meaningful question. She says, " Are you happy?" (Pg. 39 in this book)
But then Montag had to think for a minute and he had realized later in the book that he wasn't happy.
He then was called to an women's house who was caught with a book and was ordered to burn it down. They tried to get the women out of the house but then she lit the match she had and burnt the house, the books, and her all within a few seconds. Montag then realized that there was a book that wasn't burned yet. so Montag decided to take a big risk and hide it in his suit. But when he was done with work, he went home and laid down to sleep and slipped the book under his pillow.
The next morning, he woke up and told his wife Mildred that he felt ill and he couldn't go into work today. But then Mildred told Montag to call his boss/chief of the firehouse, Beatty, to tell him he wasn't going to be in but Montag said he couldn't. Then just in a matter of minutes of saying that Beattuy showed up at the door. Then he started asking Montag these questions on why he wasn't at work. he then started to give a lecture to Montag about why firemen are so important. Then Mildred started to clean the room and was trying to fluff Montag's pillow but Montag then tried to shoo he away. But Beatty already new Montag had a book, so Beatty told him,"... We let the fireman keep the book twenty-four hours. If he hasn't burned it by then, we simply come burn it for him, (Pg. 92 in this book)."

Fuse: just alittle further
Right now I am reading a chapter/section on El Capitan. He has just shared a sandwich with his brother, who is fused to his back. He than starts thinking of his past and how his father was insane and how his mother died. But anyway, El Capitan sees foot prints in the snow and follows them. He then finds a group of Special Forces. They are people from the dome that are coded to go and find people to bring them to the dome. And one of the Special forces spots El Capitan, then the others spot him also. Luckily they arn't looking to bring El Capitan back to the Dome. They are looking for someone else and El Capitan thinks he knows who it might be.
El Capitan then ducks his head and curls up and makes sure he isn't spoted. And as he sits there he tells himself that they want Partridge. And maybe they would want Pressia too because they share a bloodline. They might use Pressia to draw Partridge in. Then El Capitan hears foot steps ruffling in the snow. Then he turns around a sees a Special Force. He said that it was new and it looked like it had just come from the dome. He described it as having "2 weapons embedded in his forearms"(Pg. 44) El Capitan thinks that the Dome has bugged him (they put a device in their brain that allows the dome to see and hear everything that person or thing sees). And El Capitan asks what it wants, and it spells out a word on a tree without looking at it and it spells,"HASTINGS."
