Dampier 1 Hannah Dampier Graham 1st Block 29 January 2013 Fahrenheit 451Journals Quotations What I Learned 1 It was a pleasure to burn 1 This passage shows the weird pleasure Montag gets out of burning things It is clear things are not normal when we see a fireman who loves to burn These words usually are horrifying for people but they bring pleasure for Montag 2 Do you ever read any of the books you Why is it against the law to read books Maybe burn He laughed That s against the law he s being sarcastic as if someone had said 5 I m allergic to reading because they didn t like to read 3 Is it true that long ago firemen put out fires Montag rejects the idea by saying Houses instead of starting them No houses have have always been fireproof It seems that in always been fireproof take my word for it this future the past has been forgotten or even Strange I heard once that a long time ago erased and people have been told that people houses used to burn by accident and they have always started fires and not stopped them needed firemen to stop the flames 6 However if everyone believed that houses had always been fireproofed where had Clarisse heard this idea before Dampier 2 4 How long ve you worked at being a This proves that Montag is twice the age of fireman Since I was twenty ten years ago Clarisse and yet Clarisse seems to possess a 5 much great amount of knowledge and wisdom of the world compared to Montag 5 With the brass nozzle in his fists his This description of Montag shows how much hands were the hands of some amazing he loves his job and he considers himself to be conductor playing all the symphonies of the conductor of fire which puts him above blazing and burning 1 other people He tells the flames what to do and where to go This makes Montag feel powerful and in control 6 Without turning on the light he imagined Are him and his wife divorced Maybe she how this room would look His wife stretched died This could be the reason Montag is not on the bed the room was indeed empty happy 7 He stood very straight and listened to the Earlier on the page it was made clear that no person on the dark bed 10 one was in the room Is Montag dreaming 8 while the flapping pigeon winged books The image of this quote really fascinated me 10 died 3 This could be his imagination because of what it symbolizes It shows how the books flapped and tossed as it was being burnt It can also show how books are as free as a bird yet it can be gone just like a bird Books are one of the freest things in the world since you can put any views of the world into Dampier 3 it It can have such a deep meaning that may be difficult for some people to understand 9 And suddenly she was so strange he Montag feels quite distant from his wife She couldn t believe he never knew her at all He has her world and he has his They don t seem was in someone else s house 42 to be communicating about the things that are 10 He was not happy He was not happy He This is the point in the story where Montag said the words to himself 9 realizes for the first time that he is not happy important to each other with his life 1 My wife says books aren t real 80 Does his wife really believe books aren t real Perhaps she is saying the people and settings in Dampier 4 them aren t real 2 Do you know why books such as this are so I think Faber is trying to explain to Montag important Because they have quality 79 that you can t treat books any kind of way Books are like a person they have life inside of them 3 The hands tore the flyleaf and then the first I don t understand why Montag is tearing out and then the second 84 pages in the book Doesn t he burn them 4 But Clarisse s favorite subject wasn t I like this quote because it shows how different herself it was everyone else And me 68 Clarisse is from everyone else She was the Perhaps he gets the pleasure of watching the pages burn one by one type to care about everyone and not take heed to what everyone else thought of her It really shows how caring and loving she is anymore the books are becoming harder and harder to resist she had two kids If you read further it says that Mrs Phelps thinks that kids are ruinous Has a child done something to her in the past 5 The room was blazing hot he was all fire The atmosphere in the parlor is intense I think he was all coldness 96 Montag is dying to read a book He can t take it 6 No one in his right mind the good Lord I questioned in my head why Mrs Phelps knows would have children 92 would say this because Mrs Bowles said that Dampier 5 that has stuck with her as a bad memory since 7 Millie does your family love you very Montag s question to Mildred made me see much 73 some of Clarisse s qualities Before Montag 8 Faber for the first time raised his eyes and I don t quite understand the relationship looked directly into Montag s face 77 between Montag and Faber Are they friends I 9 And I want you to teach me to understand Montag s view on books is a lot different from what I read 78 everyone else s Not only does he wants to met Clarisse he didn t know what love was but now I think he understands sense that by the end of the book they will be very good friends read but he wants to understand and comprehend the text 10 We ve stopped in front of my house What is happening now Did the firemen find 106 out about Montag s books Will his house be burned down 1 Oh no You weren t fooled by that little I m not sure if I want to believe that Clarisse idiot s routine were you 107 was acting He saw something different in her Dampier 6 and she saw something in him too 2 Montag shot one continuous pulse of liquid This is exactly what the government was trying fire on him 113 to prevent Once you begin thinking for yourself you have the ability to disagree and fight back Hopefully it worked 3 Who are the people in the woods Are they They are in fact the people Faber had told the people Faber was talking about If not
