Over my two month vacation i read Fahrenheit 451 as an assignment, but there was a short passage in the book that changed my perspective about life. In the passage, Granger; one of the characters, told the protagonist (Guy Montag) that we all must leave something behind in our lifetimes because when we're not in this world we will be remembered in the things we made. "Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said... and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there" (pg 156).
This inspired me to always do my best because now i know that even if our time on earth is short, our essence will remain in the things we created.

It is a good way to live your life and I think if we thought about how what we do affects the future and others, we would make better choices.
Good job on the extra credit.
