f451 part 2 questions

1. Mildred reaction when reading the book together with montag  is that she is misses watching her TV family and she is afraid someone will come to burn the house down once they find books in their possession. Montag reaction when reading the book with milred is that he is hoping these books will lead to an understanding. An understanding of book lovers like Clarisse and Faber, and why people in the society hate books. In this scene Montag reads over each line aloud, analyzes it trying to find deeper meaning while Mildred says they should burn the books.
2. In sections one and two with the bombers flying over Montag wonders why the war is not discussed by the people in the society or even on TV. He is also annoyed that they fly overhead constantly without a moment of rest, but the people of the society believe that the war is nothing to worry about it will be over shortly after the declaration.
3. Professor Faber is a man that Montag met in a park a couple of years ago. Montag figured out that Faber had been illegally reading books, but he didn't mind and they started talking. Faber gave Montag his phone number and address and he didn't contact him until a year later after Montag also started to read books. Faber helps Montag give back the book he had stole when he was on duty with Captain Beatty. Another thing is that professor Faber is a retired English teacher who has been thrown out of the world forty years ago when the last liberal arts college shut down for the lack of students and patronage. 
4. Montag is riding on a subway and trying to memorize a part of the Bible, however, there is a loud advertisement blaring over the speakers promoting "Denham's Dentifrice" Montag tries to block out the noise as he reads from the Bible in his lap and he begins to try and fight out the commercial in his mind so he can memorize the passage, but it's too difficult so he begins to argue out loud and others begin staring at him. There are some suggestions to call the guard, but then the train doors open at his stop, allowing him to rush off. He had an outburst on the subway because he can now see how difficult it is to avoid the ridiculousness of the media and how no one seems to care or notice.
5. Faber states three features of books. First, they have "quality." Faber means that they speak of both the evils of humanity as well as all of the good things humans do. But that is the job of books: to reflect life. Second, books require "leisure." People have to take time to read and digest the books. The fast-paced lives that the people in the novel lead leave no room to slow down and read or reflect on life. Finally, Faber states that the third quality is "the right to carry out actions based on what we learn from the interaction of the first two." He means that people must not only read books that reflect life and take time to think about what they have read, but then they must process what they have learned in their own lives.
6. the small green metal object is no larger than a 22 bullet. People use little seashells to listen to the radio. When Montag finally convinces Faber that he wants to be part of the underground movement to save the books, Faber gives him a special radio that looks like a seashell but is actually his own special invention. Faber is then able to talk in Montag's ear while Montag spies and gets information for him.
7. The White Clown show is meant to show the society to be mindless drones who are easily and cheaply amused. Clowns are associated with little children and simple amusements. Clowns are not associated with sophisticated humor the white clowns just juggle and entertain they don't require any thinking or interaction like other shows that require the viewer to participate. The White Clown Cartoon show desensitizes the audience to violence, and gives them a false understanding of what something like war really is. This is significant because the community is on the brink of war, but no one cares.
8. Mrs. Phelps is carried away by the emotion of the poem because she has never heard a poem read before. She begins crying and she is not sure why. When the others ask she responds that the poem is bad and that's why she was crying. When she describes Montag as "nasty" and says that he has "proven" that poetry is terrible she is just reacting the way society has told her to react. She has been conditioned to believe that literature is bad, emotion is bad, and in fact all feeling is bad. She is experiencing emotion and it is a foreign experience for her. She does not know how to react and she responds by attacking Montag and literature in general.
9. Throughout the ride and when they arrive at their destination Beatty is unnaturally preoccupied with Montag. At the end he is watching Montag like a hawk —Beatty wants to see how Montag will react to the realization that the house the men plan to burn tonight is Montag's house. Montag realizes that someone turned him in so his books will be set on fire.
