In the flames. 
On page 35, there was a part where one of the men told the woman "the the people in the books never lived", she had shook her head disagreeing. The woman sees there's emotion provided by the books that's non existent in her world. The woman much rather sacrifice her life than live without books because they provide meaning, life and emotion. ]]> 2019-01-16 15:06:35 UTC https://padlet.com/guerreiroa/bfswwazoz6a7/wish/321258572 https://padlet.com/guerreiroa/bfswwazoz6a7/wish/321258793 This passage helps to develop the character of Montag more.

This is because the people living are not allowed to think, and are left in darkness and ignorance. The kids don't know how to feel certain emotions because they have never thought, and resort to aggression when dealing with these emotions, sometimes extremely.
