1. Fahrenheit 451: Part II

2. Who called in the multiple alarms for Montag’s house?
Mildred’s friends first called in the alarm. Captain Beatty ignored the alarm. Then, Mildred called in an alarm.
Why does Montag not run away when Beatty is questioning him?
He doesn’t run away because he knows the mechanical hound will catch him.
Why did Montag kill Captain Beatty?
Montag killed Captain Beatty because Captain Beatty found out about the transmitter in Montag’s ear, and Montag didn’t want Faber to get hurt.
While talking to Montag, Captain Beatty makes a reference to Phaeton and his ride in Helios's sun chariot. How does this relate to what Montag did?
In the myth, the sun god’s son Phateon drives Helios’s chariot; however, he drives much too closely to the sun and perishes.
This relates to what Montag did because according to Captain Beatty, like Phaeton, Montag became too confident and too arrogant in its action.

3. 5. What saves Montag from being ran over by the car?
Montag trips and falls, so the car swerves around him. He believes this saves him because the car hit him while he was down, it could have flipped because the car was traveling so fast.

He is going to Faber’s house to warn him.
