You walk into someone's home and you see the hearth usually put in the center, it is the centerpoint of everything. The hearth relates to this specific section in the novel because everything in Montag's life starts deteriorating. Mildred bails on Montag when he needed her the most, page 114, " The front door opened; Mildred came down the steps, running, one suitcase held with a dreamlike clenching rigidity in her fist, as a beetle-taxi hissed to the curb." He also burned his boss, Beatty into ashes and is on the run for murder. Montag's home is not only broken and burnt to ashes but it is physically burned to the ground. ]]> 2018-03-22 18:43:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ntnguyen158/qkj7xqo05gvp/wish/245183648 "He opened the bedroom door. It was like coming into the cold marbled room of a mausoleum after the moon has set." ntnguyen158 https://padlet.com/ntnguyen158/qkj7xqo05gvp/wish/245187186 In this quote, it describes how Montag comes home to a "cold" and lonely home. The hearth is known as the centerpiece of the home that makes it warm and welcoming but Montag's "hearth" is cold , lacking any time of sensitivity. ]]> 2018-03-22 18:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ntnguyen158/qkj7xqo05gvp/wish/245187186
