34. While on the train, Montag says, “Consider the lilies of the field ...” This can be found in the Bible (Luke, 12:27 or the Sermon of the Mount as it has been recorded by Matthew, 6:28). What gets in the way of Montag finishing the quotation? What does this say about the society in which he lives?

Answer: An advertisement gets in the way of Montag finishing the quotation. This says that society most likely has technology all over the city so that anything like an advertisement will cease or provoke any thinking or speaking amongst or between one another. This also says that society does not allow religion; I believe this is so because it was a religious quote that was ceased to be finished; and not only that but the society does not really seem to allow anything.
