Mildred was so quick to turn him in, she was already out the door ready to leave and forget anything had happened. It just reminds me of the beginning, Guy and Mildred haven’t built a real relationship #aplac3
While reading the part after Montag kicks Mildred’s friends out and it’s all quiet and he’s reminiscing Clarisse, I started singing It’s Quiet Uptown from Hamilton. The poor lonely guys #aplac3
@White2004Honda1 I think it’s because they didn’t want to cause panic. They wanted to get rid of books so people would feel less dumb, this made intellectual people seem crazy, not dangerous
Does the city move with a pattern of numbers or is it just Montag? The first time the book introduced numbers it was to explain the pattern in Montag’s week, but this time it was the people tapping their feet to a rhythm #aplac3
It’s weird to think that, at this time, to have knowledge was seen as being insane. Like the man who had a library in his house was sent to an asylum to help him with this problem he had #aplac3
Why did they choose a salamander as the symbol of a fireman? It seems a little ironic seeing as it’s a creature that needs to be near the water #aplac3
Clarisse tells Montag he hasn’t noticed the moon because of the mindless repetition he lives within. Like the Giver, characters in these books live with a schedule that is their life. When the norm is challenged it breaks the routine and starts the story. #aplac3
