“‘‘Her,’ said Mildred in the dark room. ‘What about her?’ asked Montag. ‘I meant to tell you. Forgot. Forgot’ ‘Tell me now. What is it?’ ‘I think she’s gone.’ ‘Gone?’ ‘Whole family moved somewhere. But she’s gone for good. I think she’s dead.’ [...] ‘Run over by a car. Four days ago. I’m not sure. But I think she’s dead. ’ [...] ‘You’re not sure of it!’ ‘No, not sure. Pretty sure.’ ‘Why didn’t you tell me sooner?’ ‘Forgot’ ‘Four days ago!’ ‘I forgot all about it.’ ‘Four days ago,’ he said, quietly, lying there. They lay there in the dark room not moving, either of them. ‘Good night,’ she said” (Bradbury 44, 45).

“‘Aren’t you going to ask me about last night?’ he said. ‘What about it?’ ‘We burned a thousand books. We burned a woman.’ ‘Well?’ (Bradbury 47)

“...striking, kicking, burning, or biting the child, or any action that results in a physical impairment of the child.” (Definitions). 

“‘It may sound like nothing, and it often looks like nothing,” Webb writes, “But actually, [it] can have as great an impact upon a child as abuse, even though it’s not noticeable or memorable like abuse is.’” Though a child may look good physically, emotionally they are broken. The child feels as if their emotions aren’t valid and will have very low self-confidence and self-esteem as they grow older (What Happens). “Twenty-eight to 33% of women and 12 to 18% of men were victims of childhood or adolescent sexual abuse (Roland, 2002, as cited in Long, Burnett, & Thomas, 2006). Sexual abuse that does not include touch and other types of sexual abuse are reported less often, which means this number of individuals who have been sexually abused in their childhood may actually be greater (Maltz, 2002).” (Hall and Hall). 

“Most parents don’t choose to traumatize their kids.  Instead, many of these parents are struggling with psychiatric disorders themselves including, not the of least of all, ADHD.” (Trauma).

“My first reaction when I heard about the article was something like… here we go again with one more person jumping on the anti-ADHD bandwagon and attributing every childhood behavior problem to the direct effects of trauma and adverse child events.”(Traum).

“One, a 2000 incident when a janitor allegedly witnessed Sandusky performing oral sex on a middle school-age boy, and the other, a 2002 incident in which a graduate assistant, now a coach at the school, allegedly saw Sandusky anally raping a boy of about age 10 in the university locker room. Both men reported what they'd seen to their supervisors, and according to grand jury testimony, both were distraught — the janitor so much so that his co-workers thought he might have a heart attack. But neither man stepped in to stop the abuse in the moment, decisions that have raised criticism in the wake of the scandal”(Pappas). 

“‘I’m antisocial they say. I don't’ mix. It’s so strange. I’m very social indeed. It all depends on what you mean by social, doesn’t it? Social to me means talking to you about things like this.’ She rattled some chestnuts that had fallen off a tree in the front yard. ‘Or talking about how strange the world is. Being with people is nice. But I don’t things it’s social to get a bunch of people together and then not let them talk, do you? [...] but do you know, we never ask questions, or at least most don’t; they just run the answers at you, bing, bing, bing, and us sitting there for four more hours of film teacher. That’s not social to me at all. […] I guess I’m everything they say I am, all right. I haven’t any friends. That’s supposed to prove I’m abnormal.’”(Bradbury 26,27).

“‘Have you heard of rubbing it under your chin? Look.’ She touched her chin with the flower, laughing. ‘Why?’ ‘If it rubs off, it means I’m in love. Has it?’ He could hardly do anything else but look. ‘Well?’ ‘You’re yellow under there.’ ‘Fine! Let’s try you now.’ ‘It won’t work for me.’ [...] ‘Well?’ he said. ‘What a shame,’ she said ‘You’re not in love with anyone.’ ‘Yes I am!’ (Bradbury ).
