Pg. 2: "He walked toward the corner, thinking little at all about nothing in particular."

-This shows Montag's thinking before meeting Clarisse. One can't really think little about nothing, but I suppose this shows that maybe Montag has the capability to think unlike the rest of his society.

Pg 1: "His hands were the hands of some amazing conductor playing all the symphonies of blazing and burning to bring down the tatters and charcoal ruins of history."

--Comparing Montag's hands to those of a conductor basically means that Montag is creating something beautiful and harmonious by setting fires.

--This is the beginning of the hands motif.

Pg. 21: "The Mechanical Hound slept but did not sleep, lived but did not live..."

# data[].attributes.body
Pg. 24: "If someone here in the firehouse knew about the ventilator..."

I think this could be a foreshadow--someone probably does know about Montag's hidden books!!

# data[].attributes.body
Pg. 22: Rats, cats, chickens? Does this society "pick on" the weak?

# data[].attributes.body
Pg. 14: "Montag heard the voices talking, talking, talking, giving, talking, weaving, reweaving their hypnotic webs."

The list in this sentence implies that Montag is hearing things in short bursts.

Pg. 15: "One drop of rain. Clarisse..." Same here!

"Are you happy?"- Clarisse

Pg. 9: "He wore his happiness like a mask and the girl had run off across the lawn with the mask and there was no way of going to knock on her door and ask for it back."

Pg. 7: "When they reached her house all its lights were blazing."

Connection to Bradbury's "The Pedestrian." This is showing that perhaps the uncle is just like Leonard Mead from the short story.

The Mechanical Hounds are described as:

Pg. 22: "great bees...sleeping the evil out of itself."

Pg. 23: "Hound leaping out like a moth...finding its victim...inserting its needle and going back to its kennel to die as if a switch has been turned."

Is this because the Hound is annoying, especially to Montag?

Pg. 36.

The lady sets herself ablaise in her books. This could mean either she doesn't want to leave her books, or its a final stand agenst the worlds numbness.

Beatty says in short that because people found offensive things in books, they burned them, and soon all books were to be burned.

pg 55. there was no censorship, so the people made a world riddled with it to be happy.

Sea shells, TV on 3 walls, and sleeping pills. Artificial stimulants for the brain. Helps us understand how disconnected not only Millie, but everyone is in this society.

Pg 11 "The jet bombers going over, going over, going over, one two, one two, one two, six of them, nine of them, twelve of them, one and one and one and another and another and another, did all of the screaming for him." Infers chaos in thought.

# data[].attributes.body
talks about bombers flying over him. Why? Is this to strike fear in citizens or is there a war? Maybe a civil war?

# data[].attributes.body
pg 53 " Life is immediate, the job counts, pleasure lies all about after work. why learn anything save pressing buttons, pulling switches, filling nuts and bolts." Beatty is talking about how we don't need other things beside our knowledge of our jobs. No thoughtfulness or pondering.

# data[].attributes.body
"We get these cases nine or ten a night. We had so many, starting a few years ago, we had this special machine built." says the operator after Millie overdoses on sleeping pills, its not just Millie with this problem. Further painting the picture of this society.

# data[].attributes.body
"You got some?" Beatty asks this not beating around the bush. it almost catches me of guard. I have a feeling that Beatty knows of Montags book.

# data[].attributes.body
The salamander on their shirts is a motif because it is said that the salamander cannot burn. The hound is apparently a motif as well. Montag seems to spark the hounds attention.

What is the significance of the woman yelling the Master Ridley line?

On the way back from the old ladies home, Stoneman misses the garage. Maybe the firemen are getting some sence knocked into them during this encounter?

Page 45 Montag mentions the hound is out tonight if he just opens the window. Could this be a metaphor or something more literal or bigger?

Millie is living in a fanasy land with the "family"

# data[].attributes.body
Page 48 "She was simple minded!" Millie says referring to clairesse. Ironic. Clarisse was anything but simple minded.

# data[].attributes.body
Pg 69 "Now," said Mildred, "my family is people. They tell me things; I laugh, they laugh! And the colors!" Even when exposed to knowledge, Millie still is either denying or is clueless.

On page 106, they are at Montags home, further proving that Beatty knows of Montags book collection. I think they nare going to burn his house down and send montag to an asylum.

# data[].attributes.body
Page 75. Montag appears to be having a mental break down. One of the main themes of this book is how montag copes with his exposure to the world and his path to insanity.

page 83. Faber and Montag have a plan, but I dont think it will work. I predict that they are going to get caught.

page 96

"The room was blazing hot, he was all fire, he was all cole ness; they sat in the middle of an empty desert with three chas and him standing, swaying, and him waiting for Mrs. Phelp to stop straightening her dress hem and Mrs. Bowles to take her fingers away from her hair. Then he began to read in a low stumbling voice that grew firmer as he progressed from line line, and his voice went out across the desert, into the white ness, and around the three sitting women there in the great hot emptiness."

# data[].attributes.body
on page 96, Montag reads the sea of faith to the women. There really isn't a reason to do so, and I don't see anyone in the room understanding it, but it had a huge effect on everyone in the room. This further explains how montag is copeing with this situation.

# data[].attributes.body
Beatty knows a lot about books. Makes me wonder why he is like this as a fireman. He represents couruption of power. page 104

Fire. Fire is a common motif in this book, "What is there about fire that's so lovely? No matter what

age we are, what draws us to it?" Beatty blew out the flame and Iit it again. "It's perpetual motion; the thing man wanted to in- vent but never did. Or almost perpetual motion. If you let it go on, it'd burn our lifetimes out. What is fire? It's a mystery. Sci- entists give us gobbledegook about friction and molecules. But they don't really know. Its real beauty is that it destroys respon- sibility and consequences. A problem gets too burdensome, then into the furnace with it. Now, Montag, you're a burden. And fire will lift you off my shoulders, clean, quick, sure; nothing to rot later. Antibiotic, aesthetic, practical."

"Montag could not move. A great earthquake had come with fire and leveled the house and Mildred was under there some- where and his entire life under there and he could not move. The earthquake was still shaking and falling and shivering inside him and he stood there, his knees half bent under the great load of tiredness and bewilderment and outrage, letting Beatty hit him without raising a hand" page 112. Montag is stunned

Page 113. Beatty is set on fire by Montag. This is how the salamander burns.

Page 115. Montag sees Beatty in his mind after killing him. He is showing remorse for his slaughtering of Beatty and the other firemen.

Page 121 "He began to shuffle idiotically and talk to himself and then k broke and just ran. He put out his legs as far as they would go and down and then far out again and down and back and out and down and back. God! God! He dropped a book, broke pace, amost turned, changed his mind, plunged on, yelling in con crete emptiness, the beetle scuttling after its running food, two hundred, one hundred feet away, ninety, cighty, seventy, Mon ag gasping, Aailing his hands, legs up down out, up down out, doser, closer, hooting, calling, his eyes burnt white now as his head jerked about to confront the fashing glare, now the beetle was swallowed in its own light, now it was nothing but a torch hurtling upon him; all sound, all blare. Now-almost on top of him!" The choppy word flow and repeating words represents panic and animosity.

This prediction turned out to be false. He got away and was safe.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 122, the kids in the car almost hit montag but swerve at the last second because Montag laid down. The kids only care about things if they are effected. This speaks volumes for society.

On page 127, another hound is added to the chase due to montag destroying the first one.

Page 131. "He shouted to give himself the necessary push away from this last house window, and the fascinating séance going on in there! Hell! and he was away and gone! The alley, a street, the alley, a street, and the smell of the river. Leg out, leg down, leg out and down. Twenty million Montags running, soon, if the cameras caught him. Twenty million Montags running, running like an ancient flickery Keystone Comedy, cops, robbers, chasers and the chased, hunters and hunted, he had seen it a thousand times. Behind him now twenty million silently baying Hounds, ricocheted across parlors, three-cushion shooting from right wall to center wall to left wall, gone, right wall, center wall, left wall, gone!" Again with the frantic panic syntax as

"You are welcome here" Page 140, granger. Alows the reader to relax and gives montag a sense of peace and rest

# data[].attributes.body
After montag escapes, they kill a random innocent and call them montag on TV. This represents how twisted and evil this society is and how different Montag and granger and those people are.

"We are book burners too." says Grager on page 145. Gives Montag a sence of belonging

Page 149, "My wife, my wife, poor, poor millie..." Montag doesn't hate Millie even after she betrayed him. Shows Montags humanity.

Montag: Going through many changes. Sometimes on the verge of insanity. starts out mellow but gets more agressive as the book goes on

Millie: carefree and ignorant to the world around her. She doesn't see the full picture.

Beatty: Witty, knowledgeable, but rather corrupted in power.

Clarice: Thoughtful, kind, and full of wonder.

Millie's friends (Not family, but lady neighbors) Kind of like Millie, but even more gone. Soulless, doesn't care that their husband blew his brains out.

Faber: regretful, working to make up for his past mistakes.

It focused way to much on the message. He almost spoon fed it to us. It is a good message, but very little thought is required to see the whole picture.
