Summer Reading Assignment
1. The firemen in the story burn books and homes for a living. An example of Montag telling the readers what firemen do for a living is when he says, “I've tried to imagine," said Montag, "just how it would feel. I mean to have firemen burn our houses and our books." (Bradbury pg. 31). This passage shows that fireman do burn books and homes for a living. Montag enjoys his job. An example of the narrator telling the readers this when he says, “Montag grinned the fierce grin of all men singed and driven back by flame.He knew that when he returned to the firehouse, he might wink at himself, a minstrel man, burnt- corked, in the

Montag kills Beatty with the flamethrower. He kills Beatty when the narrator says:
And then he was a shrieking blaze, a jumping, sprawling, gibbering mannikin, no longer human or known, all writhing flame on the lawn as Montag shot one continuous pulse of liquid fire on him. There was a hiss like a great mouthful of spittle banging a redhot stove, a bubbling and frothing as if salt had been poured over a monstrous black snail to cause a terrible liquefaction and a boiling over of yellow foam. Montag shut his eyes, shouted, shouted, and fought to get his hands at his ears to clamp and to cut away the sound. Beatty flopped over and over and over, and at last twisted in on himself like a charred wax doll and lay silent.(Bradbury pg. 113). This passage reveals that Montag killed Beatty with the flamethrower through the use of words such as flop over, bubbling, flame, and liquid fire. Montag then runs to Faber’s house where he tells him to go down to the river, find the railroad track, and find hobos who know about books.
15. Montag keeps track of the search with Grander’s device. The narrator and Grander tells the readers: “tells Granger nodded to a portable battery TV set by the fire.”
“We've watched the chase.”(Bradbury pg.

Grander mean by “welcome back from the dead” is society believes he is dead but he is alive. Grander tells him, “Even your best friends couldn't tell if it was you. They scrambled it just enough to let the imagination take over. Hell," he whispered. "Hell."(Bradbury pg. 143).
The passage reveals that everybody including his friend believe he is dead and the only ones who know he is alive is Grander and the rest of the hobos.
19. Grander means by “you’re not important, you’re not anything” is that they should not think they are all great because if they do they will probably get killed. Grander tells them, “You're not important. You're not anything. Some day the load we're carrying with us may help someone. But even when we had the books on hand, a long time ago, we didn't use what we got out of them. We went right on insulting the dead.” This passage reveals that Grander believes they should not think they are anything because they are here to help other people.
20. This significants of these last few pages is that Montag is learning how to remember and is becoming like Grander. Montag discovers that is better to gather the work within him. They also discover that man is repeating a cycle and they are going to start reading books in the future. Montag also started to lead in the
