19. When Montag tells his wife about the woman burning with her books, what is he most interested in? Why is she so uninterested? Have you ever felt like what happens to others is so far removed from you that it isn’t important (tsunamis, war, hurricanes, suicide bombers, etc.?)

Answer: Montag is interested in why she would be willing to die for the sake of books. He can't stop thinking about how disturbing it was when she was burned in front of him. Mildred, his wife, did not care, because she has no emotions; she's too sucked into her world of the parlor walls and the Seashells.
