Fahrenheit 451 answers part 1

1) Bradberry starts off the story with, "It was pleasure to burn", to show readers that Montag enjoys and is happy by burning people's homes and books. It's more pleasure to burn books than reading the books because in the time zone of this book, they don't want people to gain more knowledge.

2) Bradberry compares the books to birds because it gives the reader the image of fluttering wings and feathers falling smoothly into the ground. It is a more descriptive way than simply saying "and the books burned."

3) The difference between Montag and Clarisse is that besides Montag actually going outside most of the time, he is curious about books and takes risks which means he is willing to break the rules while Clarisse has no interest in books at all, and would want to stick with the rules so that they won't get caught and killed.

4) In the book, Bradburry predicts that the size of our TV screen would get bigger. Also entering the "play" suggests a prediction that technology would be more interactive. Montag also predicts correctly on how technology can make the relationship of one another difficult.

5) I actually don't know the answer to this one. Oh well, i'll come back to it.

6) I think Bradburry is trying to to show the clear contrast of these two characters. Clarisse is this happy cheerful person while Montag's wife attempts suicide. I also think the author introduces this part of Montag's life because it shows that Montag really isn't happy.

7) All the houses are all fireproof in this book because this book is taking place in the future. And in the future, fireproof houses exits to keep people safe from fires.

8) Mildred required emergency service, for example, the police, ambulance, fire brigade, etc. because Mildred is very unhealthy. She needed her stomach pumped to take out the old blood and replace with it new blood.

9) A mechanical hound is a fake dog which looks real. This dog is made up of copper, brass, and steel. The job of the mechanical hound is to hunt people down who have books or criminals.

10) The society considers Clarisse as anti-social because she is anti-social. In school, she refuses to interact at school socially because she believes what they teach is useless and intended only for mind control.

11) The women lit the match because she didn't want to heave her books. They were hers and it was no use because her books were dead and she wanted to be dead with them.

12) The relationship of Montag and Mildred is fake love. They don't really love each other and they are also not happy with each other. In fact, they both can't remember where they went for their honeymoon.

13) The purpose Beatty's visit is to lecture Montag on how he should stop and not waste time on being curious about books. Beatty reminds Montag on why firefighters do what they do.

14) I don't have time to answer this question yet. I'll come back to it later.

15) Montag feels fat because of he feels all the new knowledge of and interest in books he has gained feels like a burden to him. This burden makes him feel uncomfortable in his body and affects him physically.
