Fahrenheit 451 - Part 3

Why did Montag kill Captain Beatty?

• Montag was insane because he saw his books burning.

• It was an accident, Montag's finger slipped on the safety catch on the flame thrower, and Beatty got in the way.

• Beatty was aware that Montag was wearing a radio transmitter, and he was determined to find out who was on the other end.

• He wanted to stop the firemen from burning more books.

Where did Montag go after he killed Beatty?

• the firehouse

• Faber's house

• Clarisse's house

• for a ride in the beetle-taxi

When Montag left Faber's house, which direction did he go?

• He went back to the city.

• He headed to the mountains.

• He headed for the river.

• He headed for the spaceport.

Why did Montag take whiskey, a suitcase, and some of Faber's dirty clothes with him?

• He needed some strong-smelling things to throw the hounds off his scent.

• He wanted to disguise himself as a drunken bum so he could pass through the city.

• He wanted to leave them at a deserted shack to make his pursuers think he was in one location while he went in the opposite direction.

• He was headed into the wilderness and needed all of the items to survive.

Montag identified something he saw in his travels as a path to safety. What was it?

• the North Star

• lights from the airport runway

• railroad tracks

• series of road signs

What was different about the fire Montag saw after leaving the river?

• It was a different color because it was fueled by natural wood instead of chemicals.

• It was giving warmth and comfort, not destroying things.

• It was considerably cooler than the fires that the firemen ignited.

• It was only giving off low flames. Those started by the firemen usually leaped hundreds of feet into the air.

During the manhunt for Montag by the hound, why did the camera identify an innocent man as Montag?

• Faber deliberately misled them to get them off of Montag's trail.

• The computer that was tracking him malfunctioned and identified the wrong man.

• Nobody really know what he looked like, so they didn't know whom to chase.

• The firemen needed to look good, and put a neat ending on the day's work.

What was different about the hobos Montag met?

• They were all injured from the unfiltered country air.

• They were all former firemen.

• They were all intellectuals.

• They were all clean and well-fed.

How were these men preserving literature?

• they had built a secret fireproof library underground and quietly collected books.

• Each carried a backpack full of books. It was his duty to safeguard them.

• They were burying books in holes along the railroad tracks. They had developed a secret marking system so they knew where the books were.

• Each man had memorized a piece of literature to be written down at a later time.
