When Montag is running across the street and almost dies, but gets saved because he fell i think symbolizes his fall from society. He fell because of his curiousity and human nature which caused him to leave the city before it was bombed saving his life in the end. #aplac2
I think the fact that everyone who was considered "model citizens" died in the end is a call to everyone that conforming to society will kill your individuality. Unlike those who stand up for their beliefs and rights-who end up free and at peace. #aplac2
The moment in the forest when the men tell Montag that they are not important and that Montag is no one, reminded me of 1984 when they told the main character that their part in the fight against the government was meaningless. #aplac2
@Salma55393907 I think her entire life became focused around technology and "her family" that it was the only thing she really cared about. So leaving Montag and her house wasnt a big deal to her. #aplac2
@White2004Honda1 I think Montag disassociates himself from his actions by blaming his hands. He think that he couldn’t possibly do some of the things he is doing so he blames his hands as part of his denial. #aplac2
@3Lactation I think his surprise came from the old part of him, the one that doesnt question the government and found joy in burning books. That part of him was shocked at how far he had taken his curiosity. #aplac2
The moment when captain beatty is describing his dream to him and faber is in his ear telling Montag not to listen and to be careful was a moment of good vs evil. I was imagining an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other just like a stereotypical cartoon tv show. #aplac2
I think when montag describes himself as two people- the old man and himself- the ways of government is still acting on him. By seperating himself -only part of him has succumed to the curiosity while the rest of him is still the same fool he was before. #aplac2
I think the fact that mrs. Phelps seemed so happy and upbeat- yet was so quick to cry after the poem shows how fragile and superficial everyones happiness truly is. #aplac2
@kenkenrayy I believe that clarisse was killed to show the lengths that the government is willing to go to get rid of anyone who questions the government and the way things are #aplac3
When they are describing the history of fireman and book burning- they said Benjamin franklin was a famous one- shows how their government is changing history which is similar to 1984 where it is Winstons job to edit history to the will of the party. #aplac3
Montag describes the fire with a sense of awe and appreciation in the beginning, yet after the women died in the fire he began to question if it is a good thing to burn the books. #aplac3
