i'm writing a summary of a book and i need to put this into different words.


Montag goes to Faber’s house, where he learns that a new Hound has been put on his trail, along with several helicopters and a television crew. Faber tells Montag that he is leaving for St. Louis to see a retired printer who may be able to help them. Montag gives Faber some money and tells him how to remove Montag’s scent from his house so the Hound will not enter it. Montag then takes some of Faber’s old clothes and runs off toward the river. The whole city watches as the chase unfolds on TV, but Montag manages to escape in the river and change into Faber’s clothes to disguise his scent. He drifts downstream into the country and follows a set of abandoned railroad tracks until he finds a group of renegade intellectuals (“the Book People”), led by a man named Granger, who welcome him. They are a part of a nationwide network of book lovers who have memorized many great works of literature and philosophy.

ttown_69, I understand what you are saying and I agree, but I also feel that your assessment of me is unfair and entirely inaccurate. I am one of the best in my class and am considdered "gifted", although I can't stand the term.

this is the last paragraph of a summary I am writing and I simply intended to get some advice about how to write it, if not get a spark from someone's ideas.

this also seems a little long. any ideas about how to make it shorter without taking away the important information?

FOR THE LAST TIME PEOPLE!!!!!! i am fully aware that it is a direct copy from spark notes. this is not even part of the f ing assgnmet! i am doing it to help my classmates, whom i am attempting to teach, a better understanding of the book so that the lesson will make more sence. This is completly vouletary on my part and it pisses me off to see how quickly people jump to conclutions in this world and automaticly assume the worst.

You just need someone to read it to you and then you tell them what it means - it is the same thing like the first sentence basically means that Montag found out from Faber that a hound, helicopters and a television crew are looking for him.
Just say it how it means to you and how you would talk

Montag goes to Faber's house where he learns that a new hound, several helicopters and a television crew have been put on his tail. Faber informs him that he is leaving for St. Louis to see a retired printer who may be able to help them. Before he leaves Montag gives Faber some money and tells him how to remove his scent from the house so that the hound won't enter it. Haven taken some of Faber's clothes to disguise his scent, Montag the runs towards the river and despite the fact that the entire city is watching the chase unfold on television he manages to escape. Montag drifts downstream into the country and proceeds to follow a set of railway tracks until he finds a group of renegade intellectuals. These renegades calling themselves 'The Book People',who are led by a man named Granger, welcome Montag. They are part of a nationwide network of book lovers who have memorised many of the great works of literature and philosophy.

So basically, you got this from somewhere...book jacket, back of the book, an internet site, etc...and you want someone to reword it for you so that you will not be guilty of plagerism.

Unfortunately, you have only shown yourself to be not only dishonest, but lazy, too. If you are going to STEAL someone else's work, and least reword it yourself. Do you really think that by allowing someone to do all the work for you, you will learn something?

Listen up, America. Many of you have wondered why are educational system doesn't work. Here is your answer right here. Students no longer want to do any work. They want it handed to them.

America is in a sad state.

Dumb people, this is what you did during school....that is why you are still dumb!

Looks like a direct copy from...
http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/451/summary.html

You will never learn anything having other people do work for you. Try reading the book instead of using SparkNotes... then you will have no problem writing it in your own words. There is absolutely no excuse for a question like this.
