THERE WILL ONLY BE ONE (1) BLOG THIS WEEK.  

Early in the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Montag is questioned by Clarisse about whether or not "he is happy" (7).  Montag feels as if he is being challenged by this "pure" teenager.

Who do you feel challenges you? On the blog site, write about someone you feel challenges you.  Explain your reasoning.  (It could be a friend, a parent, a coach, a sibling, a teacher, etc)

Plus, take a SELFIE with the person that challenges you.  
E-mail the selfie to gkatz@lbpearson.ca 

Good Luck :)
