Fahrenheit Questions Part 2

1. In this scene, Montag wants to continue reading books and believes that the answers to everything are in them, while Mildred wants to stop reading and watch tv. Mildred isn't interested in discovering something new.
2. The bombers flying over show how the people of the city don't pay much attention to them like if it happens regularly. It also creates a feeling of suspense and mystery.
3. Professor Faber used to be an old English Professor. Eventually most people stopped reading books and he didn't have a job anymore. Montag came to him for advice on books.
4. After watching the commercial Montag begins to question whether he should read books or stop reading and be like everyone else. This is a turning point because whatever he does will affect his life and view of the world. The commercial was distracting him from reading the Bible.
5. Faber believes that the books have answers to problems in your life. You can learn a lot from reading books and apply it to your life.
6. The "small green metal object" is an earpiece which Faber and Montag can communicate through. Faber gives it to Montag so that he can hear and tell him what to say.
7. The White Clown show leads me to believe that society is very childlike. Clowns are meant to be funny and  playful to kids however here there are adults like Mildred watching this show.
8. Mrs. Phelps cries because of the poetry. She hasn't heard anything like that in a long time and doesn't know how to react other than to cry.
9. His destination is his home because they are going to burn his books. Beatty drives there after the fire alarm rang.
