45. Montag finally blows up at the women and on page 101 he tells them to go home and think. What he is really attacking is apathy. Define the word and explain what he is so upset about. Do we have apathetic people in our world? How do you feel about apathy?

Answer: Apathy is the absence of emotion, passion, or excitement, in other words you lack emotion. He is upset that so many bad things have happened to the ladies like they have lost their husbands and their kids hate them and yet they do not care and do nothing about it; their apathy disturbs him. We do have apathetic people in our world. I feel that apathy kills the love and peace that we need in this world. I feel that it kills communication and causes society to fall apart because if no one cares then people would do what they want plus suicide rates would go up.

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.

10. According to Clarisse, why does Guy not fit with the job of fireman? How is he different from others she’s met? What could this character trait be foreshadowing?

Answer:According to Clarisse, Guy does not fit with the job of a fireman because he actually listens to her and he actually pays attention and thinks about what she says; this is how he is different from others because the others just ignore her and call her antisocial. This trait could foreshadow Guy rebelling against fireman and turning into someone like Clarisse.

9. How does Clarisse compare to Montag's wife? Besides their age, how else are they different? Which do you most relate to? Have you ever known anyone remotely like Mrs.Montag? Clarrise? Explain.

Answer: Compared to Montag's wife, Clarisse is younger and more full of life than Mrs. Montag. Besides their age, they are also different in the fact that Clarisse is a round character-she notices things and questions them-while Mildred is flat-she is apathetic which makes her boring and provokes her to not notice anything. I most relate to Clarisse because I notice the world around me and I question it. Yes, I have met someone remotely like Mrs.Montag when it comes to being boring;they have nothing but gossip to talk about. I have also met someone like Clarisse and they opened my eyes even more to the world around me.
