Fahrenheit 451 Part 2

How do Mildred's two friends react to Montag reading poetry?

• Very upset, one is sobbing uncontrollably and the other friend yells, both rush out of the house

• They really enjoy hearing it and start wondering why they haven't spent more time listening to poetry

• They are tempted to hear more, but afraid of the consequences if they get caught

• Very upset, they attack Montag, yank the book out of his hands and throw it into the fire themselves

Why are firemen rarely necessary?

• Because there are hardly any books left to burn

• Because people are very scared of the consequences

• Because people stopped reading on their own

• Because any day now the war will wipe their society off the face of the earth

Why is there constant background noise in their society?

• To keep people entertained and provide a background noise and keep them upbeat

• To keep people from focusing on anything bad and thinking for themselves

• To sell their products more efficiently in a society where people don't think for themselves

• To provide hidden messages about what is going on in the world for people who need to know

What is the condition throughout rest of the world?

• Very poor, not as ignorant and self absorbed, dislikes Montag's society

• Very wealthy, not as ignorant and self absorbed, dislikes Montag's society

• Almost identical to Montag's society, the world is very global

• Montag's society is the only part of the world that survived the atomic wars

What has happened since the year 2022?

• They have legalized divorce and made it more popular

• They have banned all books with the exception of fire captains

• They have started and won two atomic wars

• They have perfected the technology of the mechanical hounds

Why is Montag afraid of Beatty? (The biggest reason)

• He knows about all of the hidden books and could have Montag arrested and his house burned

• He knows more and will confuse Montag, may be able to convince him to quit thinking

• He is Montag's boss and Montag really respects his opinions

• He is someone Montag will see often and Montag doesn’t want him to be upset

Who is Montag most scared to face now that he is seeking knowledge?

• Beatty

• Mildred

• Clarisse

• Faber

Why does Montag seek out Faber?

• He wants Faber to teach him to understand books and to think for himself

• He knows that Faber has books and he wants to take them for himself

• He knows that Faber has books and he is trying to be a responsible fireman by arresting him

• He wants to give Faber the last copy of the Bible so that it may be preserved for future generations

What idea does Faber accidentally give Montag?

• To work hidden messages into tv shows and radio advertisements

• To plant books in the firemen's houses and call in alarms on them

• To start printing more books so that people can begin reading again

• To start reading books whenever possible to whoever will listen

What is Faber's one regret?

• Not hiding more copies of the Bible when he could

• Not trying to recruit more people to start a revolution in society

• Not planting books in the firemen's houses before

• Not speaking up when he could have safely done so
