Fahrenheit 451 pp 125-137

On page 137 towards the bottom. "The procaine needle flicked out and in, out and in. A single clear drop of the stuff of dreams fell from the needle as it vanished in the hounds muzzle."

This was one of the few ok lines in the last 20-30 pages. I really liked how Bradbury said the stuff of dreams fell from the needle. With the last 20-30 pages Bradbury lost his descripitive touch. He could of used a word better than "stuff ". But I really saw this picture out in my mind, I could see the hound chasing Montag. The deathy needle going in and out. I have been chased by a dog before, a very big mean dog, so I could see the whole picture in my mind.
