Give a very short (1-3 sentence) summary of the two main scenes in this section. The first scence was at home in the living room and the second scene was in the fire house with Beatty.
The first major scene that happens in this chapter is that Mildred has friends over and they are just minding there own business & chatting. Until Montag comes out and he starts to read a poem. Then the women start crying for some apparent reason.
The second scene, Montag returns to the firehouse and Beatty and himself are playing poker. Beatty is talking to Montag, telling him about his dream. Montag starts to get offended by what Beatty is telling him. In the dream Beatty and Montag were fighting verbally. Afterwards, Montag was deeply offended.
1) Find a sentence or two that has strong adjectives and/or verbs. Quote the book and explain why these are strong descriptive words and why they are effective. How do they appeal to the senses? What mental images do they invoke?
“Abruptly the room took off on a rocket flight into the clouds, it plunged into a lime-green sea where blue fish ate red and yellow fish.”
I do not understand this but I believe this is a metaphor. Perhaps not a very good one though.
