QUOTE: Mildred leads Montag through a point she's trying to make. In a way, she's comparing us to a book. Books aren't people, we can't just be kicked around and manipulated, "Mildred kicked at a book. "Books aren't people. You read and I look around, but there isn't anybody!" He stared at the parlor that was dead and gray as the waters of an ocean that might teem with life if they switched on the electronic sun.

"Now," said Mildred, "my `family' is people. They tell me things; I laugh, they laugh! And the colors!" (Bradbury 69). To add on, she emphasizes her point how she follows, never leads.

QUOTE:  Montag falls into his "He floated on his back when the valise filled and sank; the river was mild and leisurely, going away from the people who ate shadows for breakfast and steam for lunch and vapours for supper. The river was very real; it held him comfortably and gave him the time at last, the leisure, to consider this month, this year, and a lifetime of years. He listened to his heart slow. His thoughts stopped rushing with his blood." (Bradbury 133)
