1) The fireman burn books for a living.
2) Books are compared to birds because the pages can look like the wings of birds.
3) Montag thinks that his job is a good one and seems to really like it on pages 3-4.
4) Montag meets Clarisse on the way home.
5) Montag could mean that you can never wash off a sin or something of the sort when he says “you never wash it off completely.”
6) I think that Bradbury would introduce Clarisse before Montag’s own wife because Clarisse seems to be a more important character than Montag’s wife and maybe to emphasize how emotionless the world that Montag lives in is.
7) Mildred gets help when Montag gets home because she consumed a whole bottle of sleeping pills.
8) The help that Mildred receives is that two men come in her home and her stomach is pumped out and her blood is renewed.
9) There is something unusual about the way the two men go about helping Mildred because they went in there at night, and were insincere and didn’t really seem to care and they renewed her bodily fluid.
10) Life in Montag’s house is different from that of Clarisse because Montag’s house is dull and boring and in Clarisse’s house people actually have real conversations and act like humans.
11) Mildred reacts very naturally and as if nothing happened after she wakes up from her previous night’s experience, but she is hungryJ.
12) Mildred just listens to her “family” through her ear buds.
13) The setup of Montag’s television room is that there are three walls that are just giant televisions but the forth wall isn’t a television and Mildred complains about that.
14) Clarisse is just standing out in the rain and drinking it on page 21.
15) Clarisse is different from Mildred because Clarisse is young and exciting and Mildred is dull and just listens to her “family” all day.
16) The mechanical hound seems to be for scaring things and for protection but the fireman also use it for entertainment and watch it kill things.
17) The hound’s reaction to Montag is that the hound seems to hate Montag and tried to attack him and Montag believes that it was done by someone programming it to attack him.
18) Society considers Clarisse to be “anti social” because she is different and actually talks which is ironic that people picture her to be anti social.
19) Montag’s steals a book at his next fire.
20) On page 40, Beatty reveals that he has read books before.
21) Mildred uses her earbud or “shell” to go to sleep, and her pills.
22) Mildred’s “family is the people in the parlor.
23) Clarisse was supposed ably killed by a car running her over.
24) What is unusual about the way that Mildred told Montag about Clarisse is that she said it so nonchalantly and really didn’t seem to care a human life was lost.
25) Three things that Beatty talks about that are true about our world is that why learn unnecessary things when you don’t have to, books tend to have less words and more cartoons and you don’t really work out your brain and you become less challenged and you don’t learn much, and we always seem to be going somewhere or doing something and really don’t look at what were going through and just keep the objective in mind and nothing else and life passes us by.
