F451 questions

1. In the scene where Montag and Mildred are reading books together, Montag seems genuinely interested in what he's reading while Mildred sees it as just a waste of time and that they should just burn the books as soon as possible before they get in trouble.
2. The bombers flying gives the effect of tension and chaos. While problems are rising in Montag's personal life, there seems to be bigger problems in the outside world.
3. Professor Faber is a man Montag meets in the park one day. Faber is afraid to speak to him at first, but they later begin to talk about his job and Montag knows he knows about books since Faber was an English professor.
4. Montag gets irritated and angry with the commercial in the subway. He's trying to read the bible before he has to give it back but the announcement won't shutup and won't let him concentrate.
5. Faber makes an argument that books are alive. They're full of life and teach so so much.
6. The small green metal object is kind of like a chip that Montag can put in his ear and have Faber listen and speak to Montag through it.
7. The White Clown leads to believing that the programming in this society is pretty much a bunch of nonsense and somehow lures everyone's attention in.
8. Mrs. Phelps cries when Montag reads a poem because she is just then starting to realize she has feelings. So much pain and ignorance has made her build an emotional wall and when Montag reads the poem her shell starts to break and she gets really sensitive.
9. Montag's destination at the end of section 2 is his own house. Beatty either knew about his library all along or had learned about it when Montag's wife and friends rang the alarm.
