question

answer

* pg. 8

question

\"Listen. Give me a second, will you? We these can't burn these. I want to look at them once. Then if what the captain says is true, we'll burn them together, believe me, we'll burn them together.\"

answer

* pg.66

question

Then the alarm sounds, and they head off to a decayed, old house with books hidden in its attic. They push aside an old woman to get to them. A book falls into Montag's hand, and without thinking he hides it beneath his coat. Even after they spray the books with kerosene, the woman refuses to go. Beatty starts to light the fire anyway, but Montag protests and tries to persuade her to leave. She still refuses, and as soon as Montag exits, she strikes a match herself and the house goes up in flames with her in it. The firemen are strangely quiet as they ride back to the station afterward.

answer

* the hearth and the salamander

question

Beatty orders Montag to burn the house by himself with his flamethrower and warns that the Hound is on the watch for him if he tries to escape. Montag burns everything, and when he is finished, Beatty places him under arrest.

answer

* burning bright

question

He finds a gas station and washes the soot off his face so he will look less suspicious. He hears on the radio that war has been declared. He starts to cross a wide street and is nearly hit by a car speeding toward him. At first, Montag thinks it is the police coming to get him, but he later realizes the car's passengers are children who would have killed him for no reason at all, and he wonders angrily whether they were the motorists who killed Clarisse.

answer

* burning bright

question

Do you know why books such as this are so important? Because they have quality. And what does the word quality mean? To me it means texture. This book has pores.

answer

* the sieve and the sand

question

Montag goes back to his pile of books and realizes that he took from the old woman what may be the last copy of the Bible in existence. He considers turning in a substitute to Beatty (who knows he has at least one book), but he realizes that if Beatty knows which book he took, the chief will guess that he has a whole library if he gives him a different book.

answer

* the sieve and the sand

question

Montag goes to Faber and shows him the book, which alleviates Faber's fear of him, and he asks the old man to teach him to understand what he reads. Faber says that Montag does not know the real reason for his unhappiness and is only guessing that it has something to do with books, since they are the only things he knows for sure are gone. Faber insists that it's not the books themselves that Montag is looking for, but the meaning they contain.

answer

* the sieve and the sand

question

Montag suggests planting books in the homes of firemen to discredit the profession and see the firehouses burn. Faber doesn't think that this action would get to the heart of the problem, however, lamenting that the firemen aren't really necessary to suppress books because the public stopped reading them of its own accord even before they were burned. Faber says they just need to be patient, since the coming war will eventually mean the death of the TV families. Montag concludes that they could use that as a chance to bring books back.
