Fahrenheit 451 pages 3 to 21


1.) Ask a question that you have about what's going on in the novel. What do you find confusing?

What I found confusing about this reading is that how would someone recover surgery and cleansing of blood so quickly. Like Mildred for instance, they took her in the hospital and ½ and hour later she was o.k. they also only charged 50 dollars for it.

2.) Even before Montag and his wife Mildred talk to one another we know that they are alienated (distant) from one another. How does the author convey this?

I think the author conveys this by saying that the wife, Mildred, has waited for her husband for approximately 2 years. This shows a really distant relationship, and a bad one. I think this is one of the reasons.

I think the reason why someone would recover so fast in like a day, is because this book takes place in the future, and they probably used very high tech equipment for patients such as Mildred.

&& Mildred and Montag seem distant from one another, because they don't communicate that much as husband and wife. They seem as if they live in two different worlds.
