Section 2Pages 24-48Last Line of the Section: "He did not open the window."

Overview: Notice the developing character of Beatty, who seems to be totally unfeeling.Beatty also seems to be suspicious of Montag.

The fire at the old woman's house transforms Montag.He realizes the difference between things and people, which seems to be the same toBeatty.

Fahrenheit 451 Assignment: Pre-AP English I

"Burning Bright"Section 6Pages 1 13-136Last Line of the Section: "toward the river."

Overview: This section can be easily understood on a symbolic level. As he burns hishouse and then turns his torch on Beatty, Montag is also burning his past and anypossibility of continuing his old life. When Montag realizes that Beatty wants to die, thereader sees that Beatty has a second self, too, one perhaps very similar to the personMontag is becoming. As Montag hears the announcement that the threat of war is now adeclared reality, he begins his own battle. He argues with himself and even considersgiving up. As he takes the books to Black's house and phones in the alarm, he acts as asort of behind-the-lines rebel. The ten-lane highway he crosses is like a battlefield, andthe children in the car want to kill him even though they have no idea who he is, just asyoung soldiers in battle kill enemy soldiers. By the time he arrives at Faber's, Montag isenergized and in charge of his life. He is doing his own thinking now. His heroism evenmakes the frail Faber "feel alive."

What two announcements does Montag hear on the Seashell radio?8. What happens when Montag crosses the highway?9. Where wi l l Faber be going on the 5:00 A.M. bus?

Section 7Pages 137-154Last Line of the Section: "putting out the fire together."

Overview: Montag's ability to monitor his own crisis by watching it on neighborhoodtelevisions is supreme irony. Notice the significance of the river: Water, the enemy offire, saves Montag from being destroyed by the Hound, the creation of a world gonemad. Montag finally has time to escape from the cha.os of the past week, and h.e is nowgiven the time to consider it all-the "leisure to digest" that Faber tells him about. Theriver and the fresh forest air are purifying, and the pace of the novel slows down. Thecampfire in the forest is a warming one, not a burning one. As Montag watches thetelevised death of an innocent pedestrian, he is further freed from the past.

QUESTIONS:

1. What new "game" does the police invent?2. What does Montag's desperate flight remind him of?3. What does Montag think about as he drifts down the river?4. What terrifies Montag as he steps onto land?5. What does Granger give Montag to throw the Hound off his track?6. What "snap ending" had to be created for the "chase show" on TV?7. Who are the members of the group that Montag meets in the woods? (p. 150)

Section 8Pages 154-165Last Line of the Section: "putting out the fire together."

Overview: Granger's speech about his grandfather ranks in importance with thespeeches of Faber and Beatty. The idea that it is what we do in life that matters is worththinking about. In fact, Montag realizes he doesn't miss Mildred because she never dida thing. Montag is a little disappointed that the men in the forest aren't action-oriented.Compared to them, he seems idealistic and full of energy to make changes. After thebombs destroy the city, Granger cynically says that it 's history repeating itself in anothercycle of destroy-and-rebuild, and he reminds the men to always keep in mind that theyare nothing. Bradbury makes a valid point here about learning from past mistakes. (Hint:ls there anything to note on your list of quotes and page numbers?)
