Below are twenty questions (like the game...) over the reading in part 2. Please choose one question to answer. In your post, you must write the number of the question, the question, and then your response. EACH QUESTION CAN ONLY BE ANSWERED ONCE!!!! So, if a classmate has already responded to number 2, for example, you can't respond to that one---pick another. Each response will be graded for completeness of thought, support from the text, insight, and grammar.

At the door scratching while Montag and Mildred are reading books was a dog. This is troublesome to them because they had just got done talking about a dead girl that lived across the street, and also they were spooked by the rain, and woundered why the door alarm did not go off. Come to find out montag had shut it off.

ReplyDelete11. What now is the plan that Montag and Faber have? What was right/wrong with it? Why?
ReplyDelete- Their plan is to plant the book, turn in a alarm, and see the firemen's houses burn.
The thing that is wrong with this plan is burning the firemen's houses because if it's just Guy and Faber then it is going to take forever to burn all the firemen's houses down and it's going to be a "insidious" plan. but if they add more people then they are afraid that they wont be able to trust anyone. so they will hire elder people.
1. The hound claws at the door. This is troublesome because Montag took a book and they are after him for it. So he is really nervous and scared that he is going to get caught and in big trouble. Plus, he thinks that people will think of him differently.
ReplyDelete7.What is Montag searching for? Can it be found in books? Explain...
ReplyDeleteMontag seems like a curious person. He has questions and wants answers. I believe Montag is searching for answers of the past and he thinks that the answers or hints will be in the books. When something is said to be forbidden it makes it more interesting. This also may be causing curiousity to Montag. That is why I think he is also searching for not only history, but the reason why books are so forbidden. History can be found in books, but the reasons will have to go much farther than just a book.
5. Where does Montag go and why? Predict what will become in part 3 because of this relationship.
ReplyDeleteHe goes to visit Faber because of the bible that he has. This could cause more problems with Montag and Mildred, because she doesn't know about the bible. When Montag started ripping the pages of the book, Faber told him to stop. This shows he feels that some of the books may not be all bad, even though he is a fireman himself. This could cause problems between Montag and Faber along with multiple other people.
20. The fire alarm rings. Where does the call take them? Who do you think turned in the culprit in and why do you feel this way? Support with details.
ReplyDeleteThe fire alarm call brings them to Guy Montag's house and the person that I believed that turned them in was the old man because he said that he was so scared about being caught that he might have turned in Montag to save his own self. Another reason that I think that the old man turned in Montag is because he might of been afraid that Montag would get cold feet before him and did not want to take the chance of being burned alive and so he ratted on Montag and that is what I think.
4. What does Montag realize about the books he has? Why is this realization significant?
ReplyDeleteMontag realizes that the book he has is a bible. He discovers that this book is about religion and how this god they talk about in the bible has all of the answers in the world. He is seeking meaning in everything so he thinks that this book will be able to help him find it. Montag has met a professor who understands this book and knows what it is about. He has convinced this professor to help him understand while they also plan a plan to bring books and knoledge about the world back.
4. What does Montag realize about the books he has? Why is this realization significant?
ReplyDeleteMontag realizes that the books he is in possession of are very important books in the human civilization, such as the Bible, countless wars and millions of people's blood have been spilt in the name of this book and it's word.
9. What do books, quality writings, do for a society? Has our society changed because books are losing favor? if so how? if not site evidence that the quality still exist.
ReplyDeleteBooks can do great things for a society. They keep ones knowledge up and can tell you whats right and whats wrong. They can help you in something you are doing and directions. The society hasn't changed because you still see people reading books all the time and keeping knowledge.
12. Where does Montag go, and symbolically, why is this significant?
ReplyDeleteMontag goes to visit Faber with the book he has and he wants advice from Faber. This is significant because Montag realizes he took the last copy of the Bible from the old lady and he starts to rethink everything about his life. Faber tells Montag that it's not the book themselves that he is looking for it's the ideas and the meaning behind them.
# 10 When Faver refused to help Montag plant books in firemen's houses so they can burn down and destroy firemen, what does Montag do to persuade him to go along? What quality of Faber's allows Montag to persuade him? How will this quality either help or hurt him for the rest of the novel?
ReplyDeleteFaber wanted to own the bible, so Montag ripped pages of the bible in front of Faber. Montag thn said that he could burn him because he was a fireman. Faber is an old man who became tired and easy to persuade. I think this quality of Faber's will hurt him throughout the rest of the novel because he's so easy to get caught up in things I think he will.
8. What three things does Faber say this new-society they now live in lacks. Does our current society lack this? Why or why not? Support with evidence.
ReplyDeleteThe three things Faber says that this new-society they now live in lacks is #1 quality information, #2 leisure to digest the information, and #3 the right too carry out actions based on what we learn from interaction of the first two.
Our current society does not lack any of this. We get some quality information, and the time to digest, or think about it, and we have the right to voice our opinion and to protest.
16. What did Montag do with the twenty books? Do u feel this was a good decision?
ReplyDeleteMontag hide the books in the bushes out behind his house after the big blow up he had with the woman. I felt this was a bad decision because anyone could come along and find those books. Finding those books is exactly what Montag doesn't want to happen.
3. What mand does Montag call? Why? How many copies are left on earth of the famous books?
ReplyDeleteMontag called up an old English professor named Faber. He wanted to find out how many copies there were of the Bible, Shakespeare, and Plato. Faber gave the answer that he knew that he would of none of the books. Montag knew the answer already from the firehouse listings of the books. He had just wanted to hear it from Faber that he had the last copy of the Bible left on this part of the planet.
3. What man does Montag call? Why? How many copies are left on earth of the famous books?
ReplyDeleteMontag called Faber. Montag called him to ask how many copies of the Bible are left in the country. Then he asked how many copies there were left of Shakespeare and Plato and Faber replied none. Faber said to Mildred he might have the last copy in the world of the Old and New Testament.
#6. I think he admits to being a coward, because him self and Montag can see more than anyone else and Faber knows that if he screws up they will burn him. So Montag feels alone because he is the only one that donst care what happens he just wants to know the truth.
ReplyDelete8. What three things does Faber say this new-society they now live in lacks. Does our current society lack this? Why or why not? Support with evidence.
ReplyDeleteThe three things that Faber says the new society lacks are; quality, leisure and the right to carry out actions. I think our society is nothing like this. For the most part, our society is equal. We have equal rights and opportunities. We definitely have leisure time. Everything we do other than work is basically leisure. The right to carry out actions I guess I don't completely understand this? I'm sure we have it though because their society is weird and is like the complete opposite of ours.
I chose #6: Faber definitely called himself a coward and everyone all ready knows he is so its not such a big move. Faber told Montag that he wont find nothing in the books that he is looking for. Faber knows that there are plenty things in the books, especially the bible that Montag can find and think about. Faber probably don't want Montag looking in books to much, Faber prob wants all the books information to himself.. Faber is a coward and he does turn on people, everyone needs to watch their backs in this situation.. Faber in montag can get in big trouble if anyone else finds out about them!
ReplyDelete19. What was Faber's conclusion about Beatty after he heard him bait Montag? What does this mean? (This is VERY significant!!!!) and what does it tell the reader about Beatty himself? (Think back to Clarisse and the important question she asked of Montag at the start of the novel.)-- That he reads books. This tells the reader that Beatty isn't happy. This tells the reader that Beatty wants to die, because he is not happy. It tells us that he loves books, but he burns them. He loves reading, and he memorizes books, but yet he also burns them. What happened to Montag happened to Beatty. He fell in love with books.
