Fahrenheit 451 pages 81 to 90


1.) Write a question. What are you confused about?

I am confused about the plan/ idea that Faber had. Are they really going to do it since Guy was all over doing it.


2.)
A. According to Faber, “three things are missing” from the popular media (like the “parlor games) of his society. Write what they are and explain what he means.


The three things they mention are:

  1. Quality of Information: I think what this is talking about is the information and overall quality of the book. Like if it is good everyone will want to read it. He mentions that books have certain features so I think that’s what it means.
  2. Leisure to Digest: I think this means that people have the freedom to obtain ideas. Like the freedom to read books and have opinions.
  3. The right to carry out actions based on what we learn from the interaction of the first two: I think this one means that everyone has the right to express what they think about the ideas being expressed even if the actions cause commotion. (I am not so sure about this one).
