• Describing the hose as a snake spitting venom

2. Start the fire swiftly.

3. Burn everything.

4. Report back to firehouse immediately.

5. Stand alert for other Alarms.

• Pg 32: This is a list from one of the firemen's rule books at the firehouse.

• It could just be a typo,or it could mean something deeper, but I am not sure.

• The book's pages are being described as the wings of a white pigeon.

• This quote is said shortly after Montag had a conversation with Clarisse, and she did a "dandelion test" to see if he was in love, and it was false.

• He was talking to Mildred about her "relatives," and he gets upset over Mildred not knowing their names and the "walls" always being on.

• Why is Millie so unbothered by Clarisse's death?

• This quote is a symbolization of the hound.

• The "October leaf blowing" is a symbol of the hound.

"Well?" - Millie

• Again, why does Millie not care about people dying?

• Why does Millie say he isn't sick?

• This metaphor compares a book and a gun ready to go off at any moment.

• This comparison makes it seem like books are just as dangerous as guns.

• Beatty bringing up books and firemen makes me believe that Beatty knows about Montag's books.

• This is a quote from Gulliver's Travels.

"I understand that one." - Millie

• This quote shows how much Millie's mind can understand and comprehend.

• Millie hadn't been able to understand any of the other books that Montag was reading to her, but when he read this title, she understood it because she believed it was about her."

• This quote shows exactly what Montag thinks of Clarisse even after her death.

• It also shows how much he cared about her and how big of an impact she had on his life.

• Salamander

• Kersosene

"Nice."

"You look fine, Millie!"

"Fine."

"Everyone looks swell."

"Swell!"

• The repetitive responses from Millie's friends show their mental capacity and how undeveloped they are because of technology.

• It also shows that Millie is a little smarter than her friends because she answers with more complex sentences.

• She could also be smarter because Montag talks with her almost daily while her friend's husbands aren't around often.

"I saw it, I saw it!"

• The shows that Millie and her friends watch don't give them time to think or process what is happening.

• They don't talk about what happens in the shows because they can't process it.

• This quote again shows Millie's friend's attention span and ability to form a sentence.

• Her repeating her same thought multiple times shows that's how the shows she watches are - simple and repetitive.

• It shows Millie and her friends are out of touch, especially when it involves the war.

• This again shows how little people in this society are affected by death.

• This shows how little Millie and her friends pay attention to politics.

• This also shows how little politics is probably shown on the TVs to leave voters uneducated.

• They also probably chose two very different candidates (one of which they wanted to win) and made him seem better for even the most random reasons.

• Mrs. Bowles most likely has never read poetry or any book.

• She says she hates it because that is what she has been taught, not what she has learned from reading poetry on her own.

• Why is Mrs. Phelps so calm about Montag having a book?

• This was when I realized Montag had started going "crazy."

• I also realized how crazy everyone's lives are in this society - Mrs. Bowles' three husbands, two of which died.

• Can Montag actually not move his feet, or is it all in his head?

• Where is the Hound?

• Is the Hound waiting somewhere for Montag?

• Salamander

• Kerosene

• This is a quote from the Bible.

• This quote is from Alexander Pope in his An Essay on Criticism.

• This is a quote from Alexander Pope in his An Essay on Criticism.

• This quote is from The Merchant of Venice.

• This quote is from Paul Valery.

• They're going to burn Montag's house down.

• Her reaction shows me that she is more upset about her house getting burned down and her losing all of her devices rather than her husband getting arrested.

• It shows me that she genuinely is so lost in technology that she no longer cares about Montag.

• Montag never thought his house would get burned.

• One: because he never thought he would get caught.

• Two: because he is a firemen

• This made me realize that Beatty never cared about Montag, and when he visited him at his house, it was to send him hints.

• It was almost like he was playing a game with him.

• Kerosene

• Comparing books pages with wings

"No." - Montag

• During this Beatty found out about the bullet that Faber was using to listen in on Montag's conversations.

• This shows that Montag really cares about Faber because he doesn't want him to get hurt.

• This quote makes me think that Montag is going to do something crazy.

• Shortly after this quote, Montag burns Beatty and two other firemen.

• The blowing autumn leaf symbolizes the Hound.

• Salamander

• Is Montag thinking this to make him feel better about killing Beatty?

• Comparing lamps to the sun.

• Is the beetle a symbol of time, and how much time Montag has?

• Are the sentences all written simply because Montag's brain is rushing?

• Salamander

• Montag finally realizes what all has happened and what he has done and now he has to figure out where to go from here.

• He also realizes how fake his relationships were, how Beatty didn't care about him—he just cared about burning—and how Millie only cared about the "family."

• There are multiple Mechanical Hounds.

• Are there Hounds all over the world?

• Montag still believes he can change the world and the current ways of life.

• He thinks if he could just get a chance to talk to everyone on a widespread level he could change their thoughts.

• From this, I realized that Montag really cares for Faber, and he doesn't want him to get hurt by his decisions, even if Faber plays a part in them.

• I also realize how smart Montag really is that he is able to come up with this plan so quickly on the spot.

• This compares Montag's feeling as if his life was one big show that everyone was acting in, especially now that he is on the run.

• The Hound is symbolized by a "blowing autumn leaf."

• This quote says, "only normal autumn wind," which shows that the Hound is not there.

• Is this young woman Millie?

• Is Montag recalling back to when he first met Millie?

• Burning symbolizes time running out.

• When they burned Montag's house it was symbolizing that his time was running out.

• Burning is bad, but warming is good.

• Burning things down causes harm but using fire to warm people up is good.

• Montag is no longer running out of time because for him the fire isn't burning its warming.

• Could this be because there was no kerosene in the fire?

• This shows how generations carry things passed onto them from their loved ones.

• This is a great example as to why Granger is who he is.

• Is the city being bombed?

• I just realized what "And the war began and ended in that instant" meant.

• Comparing the men falling over to dominoes in a line.

• I think this is a significant part of the book because it shows even after suffering small bomb effects, he is more worried about getting the part of this book that he remembers written down rather than his own life.

• I think this shows great character development from the beginning of the book to now.

• This is comparing the bombed destroyed aftermath of the city to baking powder.

• The sun is constantly burning, and burning symbolizes time.

• The fire didn't catch until the sun came out and then both were burning.

• Then, "the sun colored the back of their necks as they bent down."

• Could this be a way of symbolizing that they are now running out of time even after the city was bombed?

• The phoenix is a symbol of fire.
