READING GUIDE

Instructions: As you read, answer the following questions to the best of your ability.

Part 1 - The Hearth and the Salamander

Juan Ramon Jimenez once stated, "If they give you ruled paper, write the other way."

I think this quote means....

Compare the very opening scene to Montag's first encounter with Clarisse. What can you tell about Montag from these two scenes?

@

Why do you think Clarisse approached Montag?

What is Clarisse like? Do you know someone like her? Are you like her? Why?

What does the history of the firemen as quoted in the rulebook say about this world? Why is Benjamin Franklin named the first fireman?

Draw a picture of how Mildred was brought back to life.

Within the first 40 pages of the novel, you read of two attempted suicides, one successful, and hear about several others. Why do you think that suicide is so common in the society portrayed in this novel?

On p.52, Montag says "We need to be really bothered once in awhile." What does he mean?

@

Read Beatty's description of the acceleration of modern society on pp. 54-55. What does he mean by things having "mass?" Do you think this is an accurate description of changes in American life in the 20th century? Why or why not?

How did the society described in this book come about? Was it imposed from above, or did it grow out of people's everyday lives and decisions? Why do you think thatBradbury chose to develop the setting for his novel this way?

@

=

Montag describes the act of stealing and hiding books as something done by his hands,with no will of his own. Do you think that this is true? Why would he describe it that way?

What text-to-text, text-to-self, or text-to-text connections can you make? Explain how they connect. Keep in mind literature you have read in class this year or last year.

Can you give me one example of a metaphor from the book?

Part 2 - The Sieve and the SandOn p. 82. Montag says, "We have everything we need to be happy, but we aren't happy. Something's missing. I looked around. The only thing I positively knew was gone was the books I'd burned in ten or twelve years. So I thought books might help. " What is the.. something" Montag is talking about? How does Faber answer him, and why?

On p. 92. Montag says that there's no point in changing sides if he's just going to go on being told what to do. Why does he say this? Do you agree? Why or why not?

@ I

Who is Montag's character foil and why?

What kind of person is Mildred? How would you describe her personality and how she lives her life?

Why does Montag read poetry to Mildred and her friends? What is he trying to do?

When Beatty describes his dream on pp. 106-7, where he and Montag argue using quotes from books, what point is his trying to make?

What do we learn about Beatty in this scene? Do you agree with Beatty? Can you identify with Beatty? Why or why not?

What text-to-text, text-to-self, or text-to-text connections can you make? Explain how they connect. Keep in mind literature you have read in class this year or last year.

Part 3 - Burning BrightQn p. tt5, why does Beatty call Montag a "burden"?

Why d~s Montag think that Beatty wanted to die? Is he right?

Why do you think Montag protected Faber?

.. Draw a picture of a significant event in the

plot of Part 2.

".0

On p. 145, Montag thinks. "Clarisse had walked here." Why?

Read the description of the silence on p. 146. Why is it special?

Granger says on p. 153 that you can't make people listen. Do you agree?

Compare Granger and Beatty. Are they similar in some ways? What are the important differences between them?

Granger

r

Why do you think Montag follows one (Beatty or Granger) and reject the other?

Think about what Granger says on pp. 156-7. Do you think that this would be hard to do? Why?

Why do you think Montag imagines Mildred's last moments?

Why do you think that Ray Bradbury ended the novel that way? What will these people do next?

Will the books they carry in their heads have an impact? Why or why not?

What do you think Bradbury is saying about literature?

What text-to-text, text-to-self, or text-to-text connections can you make? Explain how they connect. Keep in mind literature you have read in class this year or 1ast year.
