Text to text connection

I have just started to read the book "Mracle on 49th Street" by Mike Lupica. So far, I can already find a text to text connection within the story. In this story, a girl named Molly goes to the Boston celtics training facility. She waits outside to meet one of the best players named Josh Cameron. She claims to be related to him some way. I connected this with the movie "Gameplan". It is pretty much the same story. A girl shows up at a famou football players house and claims to be his daughter. I don't know how this story will end, but so far it is looking very similar to "Gameplan".

First post about "Fahrenheit 451"

I am responding to the prompt that says "How has a character changed since they were first introduced? What have they done or said thats changed your opinion of them?" The one charcter that has already made a change in the story is Guy Montag. He was introduced at the very beginning of the story as a fireman who puts fire to books and believes he is happy. Later in the first part, he was questioned if he was happy. He replied as if it was a stupid question. Of course he was happy! Then he began to think maybe he wasn't. This is a major change of his thoughts and internal beliefs of what being happy really was. Right after his confrontation with Clarrise, it even says, "Montag shook his head. He looked at a blank wall" (Bradbury 8). This quote shows how he is unsure about what he is supposed to think.
