Official symbol of the firemen and name given to their fire trucks
Object that Montag’s cousin told him to fill with sand when he was a child
While Montag is reading, what two sounds does he hear outside?
The sniffing of the Mechanical Dog and the bombers crossing over his house.
After recalling his first meeting with Faber, what does Montag do next?
Montag decides to call Faber, who ends up hanging up on him out of fear of the questions Montag askes. He then leaves his house, rides the subway, begins reading in public, and has a break down from the commercial, which constantly repeats its slogan.
Describe Montag and Faber’s second meeting. What do they discuss? What plan is developed? Do they go through with this plan?
They discuss what Montag is seaching for (not books, but what is in the books) and the 3 things that this new society needs. They develop a plan to take down the firemen by planting books in their houses. However, they never go through with the plan.
Describe Montag’s interaction with Mildred and her friends. What bothers him about them? What does he do that gets them upset?
He is bothered by their robotic actions, comments about the war, comments about having children, and comments about the election of the president. He reads a poem to the women, which makes them upset, and they leave.
Explain what happens at the firehouse at the end of “The Sieve and the Sand.”
Montag is extremely nervous arriving at the firehouse with a book to give to Beatty to destroy. He presents it to Beatty, who burns it on the spot and invites Montag to join in on the poker game. Beatty makes Montag even more nervous by describing his dream about them arguing about reading books and quoting various books. Then, a bell rings, and the firemen are called to set a fire at a house, which ends up being Montag’s.
They met in the park one day, sitting on a bench. They struck up a conversation, and Faber began to quote poetry and make comments. Finally, before he leaves, Faber gives Montag his phone number and address in case he ever gets “angry” at him.
What three things does Faber claim they need to bring back to their society?
1. Quality of information2. The leisure to digest and interpret this information3. The freedom to act on and incorporate this information into our lives
“My ‘family’ is people. They tell me things: I laugh, they laugh! And the colors!”
“I’m not thinking. I’m just doing like I’m told like always.”
“Who are a little wise, the best fools be. Welcome back, Montag.”
“I’ve had two children by Caesarian section. No use going through all that agony for a baby.”
“Those who don’t build must burn. It’s as old as history and juvenile delinquents.”
