Table Reading Questions

1. I believe that Ray Bradbury started the novel like this because it summed up on who he was, a fireman, and I believe its pleasurable for him and others to burn books due to the lack of attention on reading them.
2. The books are compared to birds because they are being burned and the remains are dispersing onto the environment.
3. Clarisse sounds a little bit more educational while Montag sounds like a sad person who happens to enjoy watching things burn.
4. The technology in the novel seems a little bit more soothing since its ocean waves but still, addicting in a way since Mildred can't let go of it. As for the technology we have nowadays, it seems a bit more downgrading and still, addicting..more addicting actually. I don't think it makes much of a difference in their lives though.
5. I believe that the author does this so that the audience can know how Montag really feels and why.
6. I believe the author introduces Clarisse to us first because she asks him questions about his life and that gives us an idea on who he really is and how he feels.
7. The houses are all fireproof because we have people that we call firemen come in and burn books instead of actually putting fires out. To them, authors of books are myths.
8. Mildred needs emergency service because she overdosed on some pills, but the service is terrible, the paramedics don't even care, in fact, one of them is outside smoking a cigarette.
9. The mechanical hound is an eight legged beast that protects firemen.
10. They label her anti-social because she likes talking about how weird the world is and how nice it is to be around people themselves.
11. She lights the kitchen match to make the firemen that were raiding her house go away and retreat.
12. I wouldn't say that Montag and Mildred are so close because she already tried committing suicide and Montag doesn't seem so happy in general.
