1. Montage live in a society that is completely different then what you would think people would live in. He lives in a world where things are backwards and people don't act like people they act more like robots. They have gotten so used to not know what is going on that when someone tries to step outside of the norm they are frond upon and judged.
2. Clarisse wasn't afraid to question what was going on in her society. She was one of the people that would test other people and the person that influenced Montage to change. She had asked him "Are you Happy?" and that really got him to think about his society and why everyone does what they does.
3. The dog is meant to react to anyone that seem suspicious and anyone that seems to be "reading." Beatty believes and understand that Montage has been reading though so he is using the hound to get Montage to confess.
4. The woman decided to burn herself because she would rather go down with something that she loved then stay in a society that is going to judge and think she is insane for trying to learn something. She didn't want to live somewhere that if you want to learn something then you have mental problem and you should be put somewhere. This affects Montage because it shows that people can actually care about something. It makes him want to read what she had in her book to try and figure out what it is that is going through her mind and why she was the only person he knew to burn herself with her books.
5. Bradbury described the shows that she watches like that because its helps the readers to visualize the nothingness that we watch on TV. It shows that everything that is provided to us on TV is all just a blur and is made to make us pay attention but within itself really doesn't mean anything. All that we watch on TV is just customized to appeal to the common eye.
6. Mildred had told Montage that Clarisse died and that it didn't matter because he family had just moved out so it was like they were never there before. Mildred had no response to how things had happened or why they had happen just that she had died and that was the end. The society doesn't seem to care when anything happens, they barely seem to knowledge the fact that it even happened.
7. Montage gets sick because he doesn't want to face Beatty at the fire house. He is starting ti question whether he likes burning the books or wants to continue to try and steal and read more of them.
8. The fact that Montage is hiding the books and continues to steal and gather books says a lot about how he is changing. Montage wants to hid the books because he is still afraid of how Mildred will react.
9. Beatty says that society didn't want books because it made them think, and they became angry at books.
10.
I think that she actually is because she doesn't know any better.
Happiness is having no worries and being in a state of appreciation for
everything. I believe it is the most important goal because being rich,
or having the best paying job is fine and dandy, but if you're not happy
it's a life that's wasted.
11. The main event
is when Clarisse asked Montage "Are you happy? " The old lady wanting to
be burned with her books and also that Beatty could quote some books.
These all show how he's changed.
12. The ventilator grill was
foreshadowing Montage's secret books. The old lady that died with her
books was foreshadowing that he was going to be effected by the event.
The mechanical hound is only out to get Montage and this shows
something's is wrong.
13. When the Montage talks about his wife's overdose.
14. The mechanical hound is described as a robot.
15. I think that Montage will kill someone because he feels so strong about books and their "rights".Part 2 1. Mildred says that the books make her think too much. She means that it's easier to watch something rather then reading. I don't agree I like reading about things that happen as well as watching. Books you read and television you watch and don't have to think that much.
2. Faber gave Montage his name and number for whenever Montage feels like he is going to get upset with him. This way he can communicate what is wrong and why he is acting the way he is.
3. I believe that Montage would ask Mildred "who is more imprortany me or the parlor wall?" Yet when he is asking her he is already going to have an idea about who she thinks is actually more important because by perspective she doesn't seem to have feelings for other humans.
4. The second part of the book is called The Sieve and the Sand because Montage has changed from keeping his mouth closed to wanting to share what is going on in his mind (the sieve) and to give that info to other people.(the sand)
5. Montage goes to his complex and tells him to let him in so that he can talk ti him about the books that he has hid in his house. He wants to talk to him about what is going through his mind and what is inside of the books without actually having to read them.
6. Montage tell Faber that his wife is dying but he doesn't really mean that she is dying. He is trying to tell Faber that he thinks that his wife is empty inside.
7. Faber thinks that the three major focus points that are missing from Montages society is: 1.quality, 2. leisure, 3.and the right to take action on quality and the thought of leisure.
8. Faber invented a radio to help him communicate with Montage. The radio was lik a modern day blue tooth and was the size of a .22 Caliber bullet shell.
9. The women said that their children were just there and that they really didn't mean anything to them. It was said that they are just a burden and sometimes hey can match what you are wearing like little accessories.
10. Montage needed to cover up the fact that he was actually reading because it gave the women a very uneasy feeling. Montage didn't want to listen to Faber or Mildred to start of with because he wanted people to know but he gave in because he didn't want the women to feel uncomfortable until later he kicked them out.
11. Beatty said here comes a very strange beast which in all tongues is
called a fool He also throws him quotes fron books trying to confuse
him. Beatty knows that he had a certain book.
