1. Mildred is acting more like a spoiled brat who doesn't want to eat her vegetables, yet in this problem she doesn't want to understand books. Montag, however, is acting like a little kid on Christmas, he wants to understand books and read! Faber is Cindy Lou and Mildred is the Grinch/Grouch.

2. There is a war happening so something big will happen. I honestly feel that it's just a background to make the story feel real but the bombers will show up later in the story.


3. Professor Faber is a man Montag met at the park who has books. However continuing on with Part 2, Faber is a new friend that Montag has. Faber is going to teach him about understanding books.


4. Montag felt that his boundaries weren't being respected, the commercials were invading his thoughts and he didn't have his peace and quiet. 


5. Faber makes  3 important facts on books; quality texture of information, leisure to digest it,  and the right to carry out actions based on what we learn from the interaction of the first two. Faber compares books to life. Books are just the difficulties of life out to paper, but his society doesn't want difficulties of life. His society wants everyone equal and all things 'evil' gone.


6. The small green metal object is a two way earpiece. It is sort of like a Bluetooth earpiece that lets you speak and listen, even when you're not in the same room.


7. I believe that the television shows in their society is sadistic. The white clowns chop each others limbs and people laugh. Their television shows are very bland and it's trying to find humor in pain.


8. I felt that Mrs. Phelps cried because "Dover Beach"  was talking about true love and she doesn't have that. She understood poetry (once, this one time) and she felt her emotions understand the words because that's her life, not true love.


9.At the end of Part II, the firemen end up at his house because Mildred called in the book fiasco!
