Does Montag want to read the Bible? Pg.76
Montag has stolen a giggle and he thinks tha5 it is the las5 copy left. Montag wants to make a copy of it because Beatty knows he has it. Montag is going to read it and wants to memorize it just in case he does not get away with making a copy of it. More likely Montag will give the book back to Beatty.

“Nobody listens anymore.” Pg.82
Montag is right. We can even see this in Mildred. Nobody seems to be in the write place. They are very strange, and it seems to mean, the books being outlawed causes these people to be ignorant. I do not understand why they would cause these people to have no education. That is crazy!

Why is Montag tearing the book? Pg.88
Montag is tearing the book because it is the only way to get Fabers attention to help him copy the Bible. It is a sort of torture for Faber to see this since he knows what is in the Bible. Montag probably not have done that to the word of God, especially since it was the last one.

The hearing device of Faber’s. Pg.91
Faber has made a hearing device that works through Montags mind. I do not understand or know much about it, but what it is, is a spy gadget. It is an invasion of privacy and Faber can get in huge trouble with it. Faber is a strange man, who is a coward with nothing else better to do.

Why do the women think their husbands will not die? Pg. 94
These women are ignorant to not care much for their husbands in a war. You always have a chance of dieing at war. Even car wrecks sometimes happen. Nothing to do with the war could kill you. Then they say if their husband dies, they will marry again. That is so lazy. They just want money.

They talk about kids like clothes. Pg.96
These women have no sympathy for kids at all. They spend no time with them and when they do, it is not social. They do not see them all day and only 3 times a month. What is the point of their kids if they are nothing to there life. I mean they care more about there clothes than their kids. This makes me want to hit that woman, but I cannot, because she is a girl.

Why would Montag read Poetry to the women? Pg.100
Because Montag sees that these women are very ignorant he wants to show them the actuality to life, and for him to do this it was a bad idea. Montag has to understand reading illegal books is not for everybody. Some people follow the rules and are not the type to want to take the risk of dying. I would follow the rules too but I would always be curious.

“Silly women….” Pg.103
It is as if they cannot stop leaving the women alone. They are always taking down on them and making them feel bad. Just because they cannot handle the tension of breaking the law like Montag and Faber can, they have to understand women are not like men. Women have too many feelings and cannot handle to much pressure and they sort of just crack.

Montag continuously washes his hands. Pg.105
During the poker game Montag keeps on washing his hands over and over. It is as if Montag feels as if it as easy as washing his hands to get rid of his sins but it is harder than that. Beatty can see this in Montag and tries to make him even more nervous, and it works. He cracks Montag under the pressure.

Why did Beatty drive to Montags house? Pg.110
The reason why that Beatty drove the salamander to Montags house is to burn it. Montag’s house got a call from several people and Beatty has ignored it until Montag came by. Therefore, Montag could go with them to ruin his life. I find this kind of mean and cruel in a way because he has to do it himself.

Why does Montag burn down his own house?
Montag burns down his own house because he fells as if he as to put a end to his own madness. He realizes he was out of control and because a lot of harm to the people around him. Not only pain for his wife, but to her friends. He realized that books actually could drive people mad.
28 February 2008
Why does Montag kill Beatty?
Montag kills Beatty because he causes a lot of pain for Montag and his wife Mildred. Montag has gone crazy with all of the pressure from Beatty. Beatty drops by at ridicules hours and scares Montag. Then with the hound always snooping around Montag realizes that some one has caught on to him.
29 February 2008
Why is Montags leg burnt? Pg. 121
Montags leg is burnt because the mechanical hound was attacking Montag. Montag probably would have lost his leg anyways, but he knew if he didn’t burn it, it would kill him. I feel sorry for Montag because he destroyed his own leg. I bet Montag wishes he never would have done that.
29 February 2008
Why is Montag talking to himself? Pg.123
Montag is talking to himself because he is sort of like encouraging himself. At this point Montag is mad at his leg and blaming it for all of his troubles. This is sad because Montag put his own entire problems wide out in the open for others to see. He ruined his life with mistakes that he could have avoided.
