    1. Fahrenheit 451 Part III Burning Bright Chapter 3

    2. Plot Questions… Soon after finding the railroad tracks, what does Montag see in the woods? What is the name of the man talking to Montag? What do the men offer Montag? Why is the chase still going on if they have lost Montag? What does Montag see in the portable viewer?

    3. More Plot Questions… 6. How was it possible that not even Montag’s friends would recognize that the man they caught wasn’t him?

    4. More Plot Questions… Where is Montag keeping the Book of Ecclesiastes? What does Granger think their job is? How does Montag feel about Mildred still being in the city? What does Montag see happening in the city? What other book does Montag realize he has remembered? What kind of factory does Granger say they are going to build?

    5. Why is the following realization so important for Montag? “He saw the fire ahead…It was warming…He hadn’t known fire could look this way. He had never thought in his life that it could give as well as take.” (pgs 145-146)

    6. What are your thoughts on the following quote by Granger? “…nothing’s ever lost…All of us have photographic memories, but spend a lifetime learning how to block off the things that are really in there…we can recall anything that’s been read once.”

    7. Note: Here is their hope for the future. “Someday, some year, the books can be written again, the people will be called in, one by one, to recite what they know and we’ll set it up in type…” (pg 153)

    8. What are your thoughts on this THEME which touches on the importance of one’s life? “Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said…It doesn’t matter what you do, he said, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that’s like you after you take your hands away.” ( pgs 156-157)

    9. What kind of influence do you think others living along side of you have on your life? Granger said to Montag, “Grandfather’s been dead for all these years, but if you lifted my skull…you’d find the big ridges of his thumbprint.” “Stuff your eyes with wonder,” he said, “Live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world.”

    10. Figure of Speech “The men lay gasping like fish laid out on the grass. “ (pg 161)

    11. Explain the Symbolism of the Phoenix. “There was a silly damn bird called a phoenix back before Christ, every few hundred years he built a pyre and burnt himself up…But every time he burnt himself up he sprang out of the ashes, he got himself born all over again. And it looks like we’re doing the same thing, over rand over…”

    12. Interesting follow up to the Phoenix symbol… “But even when we had the books on hand, a long time ago, we didn’t use what we got out of them.”

    13. Montag ends with a compilation of verses from Ecclesiastes and Revelation which he draws from memory… “To everything there is a season…A time to break down, and a time to build up…A time to keep silence, and a time to speak…And on every side of the river was there a tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month; And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” (pg 165) QUESTION: Why would these verses be appropriate for the end of the novel?

    14. This concludes the reading and discussion of the Novel FAHRENHEIT 451. Tune in next time when we gather to read… The Grass Grows Greener Over the Septic Tank.
