Fahrenheit 451 answers part 2

1) Mildred is afraid getting caught by reading the books while Montag hopes that these books will lead to an understanding.

2) Montag wonders why the war is not discussed among the people in the society, or even on TV. He is also annoyed that they fly overhead constantly, without a moment's rest. But the people of the society believe that the war is nothing to worry about.

3) Professor Faber is a man that Montag met in a park a few years ago which this man gave his number to Montag also.

4) Since Montag was riding on the subway, he finds it very difficult to read the bible since there were advertisements that were too noisy. He then complains out loud which causes people to look at him. This part of the book is a turning point in his life because this is the first time he notices how advertisements or technology can get very annoying,

5) The argument that Faber creates for books is first the quality. He states the book s have quality because they speak both the evils of humanity as well as all the good things humans do. The second thing Faber argues is that the books require leisure. People have to take time to read and digest the books. Lastly, the third argument Faber states is the right to carry out actions based on what we learn from the interaction of the first two.

6) The "small green metal object" is the green bullet that goes in Montag's ear so that Faber can talk to him whenever. It allows Faber to listen in on the conversation that Montag has.

7) The White Clown TV shows the society of people to be mindless drones who are easily and cheaply amused.

8) Mrs. Phelps is carried away by the emotion of the poem because she has never heard a poem or read before. She begins crying, and she is not sure why. She says that she started crying because the poem was bad. She has been conditioned to believe that literature is bad, emotion is bad, and feelinfs is bad.

9) When Montag and Beatty arrive to their destination. Beatty watches Montag like a hawk because he wants to see how Montag will react to the realization that the house the men plan to burn tonight is Montag's. Montag realizes that someone turned him in so his books will be set on fire.
