the river
Faber tells Montag to escape to the river and follow its path out of the city to avoid the authorities. He advises Montag to seek refuge with the exiled book-lovers who live along the river.
To the river
Im pretty sure to Faber's house, then to the railroad where he meets Granger.
Montag tells Faber to leave town and head towards the river where he will meet up with a group of intellectuals who are dedicated to preserving and sharing books. Faber also advises Montag to stay hidden and avoid using his real identity.
Faber gave Montag his name and phone number because he saw potential in Montag to change and rebel against the oppressive society they lived in. Faber wanted to help Montag, as he believed Montag could be a powerful force for good by spreading knowledge and ideas against censorship and conformity.
as montag roaf the subway on his way to go and see the professer faber he carried with him the holy bible.
Faber thinks that Montag is trying to frame or trap him so he hangs up when Montag first calls. In the first phone call Montag asks Faber how many copies of Shakespeare, Plato, or Bibles are left in the country.
Montag wanted to find him cause Faber also read books and wanted help figuring out what they were about.
Because if Montag read poetry in front of the ladies in the parlor, they might report him to the firehouse, and Montag and Faber's plan would be ruined.
Montag thought Faber was reciting a poem by Matthew Arnold called "Dover Beach."
Faber gives Montag a small earpiece that allows them to communicate without being detected. Faber gives Montag this device so that he can guide him and help him navigate the dangerous environment in which he finds himself.
The plan, as Faber condenses it is, "The salamander devours its own tail." When Montag goes to Faber's home, he doesn't have a clear plan of attack. He tells Faber that they need to print some extra copies of books. He seems to have no plan after that, but Faber, jokingly adds that maybe they could make copies of books, plant the books in the homes of firemen, then turn in an alarm on those firemen so they'd be arrested and "the seeds of suspicion would be sown among the arsonists." Faber balks and to convince him to help with the plan, Montag begins to rip the pages from the Bible that he has. Faber then tells Montag that he knows a printer with an old printing press who might be able to print up a few copies of books. Faber wants to wait until the war begins and wipes out some of the problem though. Montag is going to go home to get some money to pay the printer, so Faber gives him the two-way radio seashell so that Faber can talk to Montag to help guide him and he can also him to what is said around Montag, particularly by Beatty.
