QUESTIONS When Montag visits Faber, Faber calls himself a coward. Why? In what way has he acted cowardly? Faber tells Montag; “It’s not books you need, it’s some of the things that once were in books” (p. 78). What is it that Montag needs and is searching for? According to Faber, what three things are necessary to the pursuit of happiness? To what degree has Montag gained each of these three factors in his life at this point of the novel? Why is Faber so discouraged about changing society for the better even if a war wipes out the current culture in their country?

THURSDAY QW – Professor Faber says (in section 7) “Mr. Montag, you are looking at a coward. I saw the way things were going, a long time back. I said nothing. I’m one of the innocents who could have spoken up and out when no one would listen to the ‘guilty,’ but I did not speak and thus became guilty myself. And when finally they set the structure to burn the books, using firemen, I grunted a few times and subsided, for there were no others grunting or yelling with me, by then.” Why is this important? Connect this back to first quarter and the importance of doing the right thing.  

THURSDAY Read section 8 (88-106) 3 questions (remember vocab) Characterizations

What are the divisions within himself that he experiences? The Captain recounts his dream in which he defeats Montag’s argument for the importance of books. Choose one of the Captain’s quotes that directly argues against the power of books and explain what the quote means. How does Montag feel about himself as he rides the fire truck with the other men to burn more books?

FRIDAY QW - Connect this quote to anything from Fahrenheit 451 and today’s world: •“Ah, love, let us be true to one another! For the world, which seems to lie before us like a land of dreams, so various, so beautiful, so new, hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, not certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; and we are here as on a darkling plain swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, where ignorant armies clash by night.” (96-97)
