Guy Montag and his crew were sent to start a fire on an old lady's house who was in possession of books. The lady did not want to leave her house and her books behind to burn.
I want to stay here.
Montag continued to converse with the old lady, trying to convince her to leave her house so that she doesn't die. She still refused and brought Montag a book, the bible. While she gave him the book, she held a match.
Montag was forced out of the house leaving the lady behind to burn. He secretly took the book with him to read.
It took some man a lifetime maybe too put some of his thoughts down, looking around at the world and life and then I come alone in two minutes and boom, it' s all over.
Montag felt "sick" because of what happened during the fire call. He felt guilty and started thinking about the history behind firefighting and the making of books.
Montag met up with an old English professor, Faber, that he had met in the past. They talked about how Montag can share the truth and history of books.
And I hardly think a very old man and a fireman turned sour could do much this late in the game....
When Mildreds friends were over at his house, Montag started reading a book to them. They did not like the idea of books and had a different opinion about them than Montag.
Why do people want to hurt people? Not enough people in the world, you got to tease people with stuff like that!
