- Is she an actress?
- She doesn't care about spending Guy's money
- SHE RUNS OVER DOGS AND BUNNIES
- rain= wine??
- Mildred is 30 and Clarisse is 16 yet acts older then Mildred
- Mildred vs. Guy= He wants kids and she doesn't
- Clarisse's generation is gruesome. They kill or are killed. Kids in her grandfather's time were responsible and were disciplined.
- "But they all say the same things and nobody says anything different from anyone else."
- This is so true! It seems that everyone talks about the same things everyday or everyone talks about the same boring things as the next person.
- All firemen have black hair, black brows, a fiery face and a blue-steel shaved but unshaved look!?
- any man who defies the government is crazy and gets sent to the mental asylum
- law= no books?
- Mildred and Guy can't remember the first time they met. Is their love tank over?
- Clarisse got ran over? Or her family moved? FOUR DAYS AGO
- "Firemen" job started during Civil War
- "The bigger your market, Montag, the less you handle controversy." Remember that
- Intellectual= swear word
- "We must all be alike...Not everyone born equal but made equal."
- So what I understood was books were burned because they didn't make people happy
- ^Actually whatever makes people unhappy, burn it (i.e. funerals make people unhappy. Don't have them and just cremate them. Just burn them into ash
- Happy world? Firemen are the happy boys who are in charge of taking down anything unhappy in their happy world
- Guy Montag has 20 books he's saved throughout the years and he and Mildred are going to read them at least once
- Guy seems like a little child on Christmas morning while Mildred seems like the Grouch who doesn't understand anything
