The colourless fluid changed the chemical index of his perspiration. In other words, it made it so that he would smell like something or somebody else, killing the scent trail that the Hound was tracking. Granger did Montag this favour because he too was fighting for literature and had seen on the news that Montag was on the run, and recognized him.

Beatty justifies the new role of firemen as focusing on burning books rather than extinguishing fires, arguing that books promote conflicting ideas and cause dissent in society. He believes that by eliminating literature, individuals will no longer be exposed to challenging thoughts and will conform to society's rules and norms more easily. Beatty justifies this by claiming it's for the greater good of creating a more unified and harmonious community.

Montag hid them because it is illegal to have books and if you are found with ooks or reported by someone else to the firemen that you have books, the firemen will come and burn the books and usually the house too. The person that owns the books would then be put in jail. Montag did not want any of this to happen to him, but he kept the books because he was curious about them.

Montag asks Millie about their past before they met, specifically wanting to know why they got married and what attracted her to him. He is trying to understand the emptiness in their relationship and his own feelings.

Montag believes that the Hound, a robotic creature in Fahrenheit 451, has been programmed and tampered with to ensure it identifies Montag as a threat and hunts him down. He is suspicious that the Hound has been manipulated to target him specifically.

In "Fahrenheit 451," Montag recalls this memory to highlight his struggle with remembering books he reads. Just like trying to fill a sieve with sand at the beach, he is unable to retain the knowledge from the books he reads in a society that discourages intellectual pursuits. This memory serves as a metaphor for his internal conflict and frustration with the oppressive censorship in his world.

The phoenix is mentioned several times in the novel "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury. One significant mention is in Part One, when Professor Faber describes the phoenix as a symbol of the cycle of destruction and rebirth, which Montag later interprets as a representation of hope for the future.

Faber sees himself as a knowledgeable and wise mentor who can guide Montag in his journey towards enlightenment and rebellion against the oppressive society. He sees Montag as a young and impressionable individual who has the potential to challenge the status quo and bring about change.

Mildred sees children as more of a nuisance than a joy. She views them as unpredictable and loud, wanting nothing to do with them. Mildred's priorities lie elsewhere, such as her connection to technology and the distractions it provides.

Because they felt like it.

Montag is not like the others in the society because he begins to question the controlling ideologies and seek knowledge and truth, while others conform blindly to the oppressive regime. Montag's curiosity and desire for change set him apart from the passive and compliant behavior of those around him.

montag thinks of the old man in the park, faber, as hes reading the books. he thinks of him because he remembers him being a professor and he wants somebody " faber " to teach and explain to him the meanings of the books that he has stolen and now reading.

Montag wanted Faber to turn on the air conditioning and sprinklers to prevent the Mechanical Hound from tracking him by his scent. Montag was on the run and needed to throw off the hound's ability to pick up his trail.

As Montag and Mildred sat in the hallway, Montag read aloud from the book, causing Mildred to become upset and disgusted by the words. Mildred then called the fire department to report Montag's possession of books, leading to a confrontation between Montag and the firefighters. Ultimately, Montag had to flee from the authorities.

Montag first met Clarisse McClellan when she moved in next door to his house. She immediately captivated him with her curious and unconventional nature, sparking a desire in him to question his own beliefs and the society around him.

The war that is being fought basically mirrors the war that Montag is in with society. At first, everything is fine, but when Clarisse steps in and makes Montag question what society has been doing, the war begins (both literally and figuratively). In the end when the war had supposedly ended in a second, it figuratively meant that from that point forward, Montag would be able to spread knowledge throughout society. The war ended signifying that Montag had won the "war" with the ignorance of society.

Montag read a poem to Mrs. Blake during the fire call, which is illegal because firefighters are only allowed to burn books and not read them. This act shows his growing rebelliousness against the society's rules.

The symbolic number engraved on Montag's helmet in "Fahrenheit 451" is 451, which represents the temperature at which book paper catches fire and burns. This number serves as a reminder of the oppressive society's control over knowledge and freedom of thought.

Mildred is a static character in Fahrenheit 451 because she remains largely unchanged throughout the story. She represents the conformity and lack of critical thinking in the society depicted in the novel, and her character serves as a contrast to Montag's transformation.

In "Fahrenheit 451," people stop reading books due to a combination of factors, including a society that prioritizes entertainment and instant gratification over intellectual pursuit, censorship by the government to control information, and the rise of technology like TVs and interactive media that distract and numb people. The government promotes conformity and discourages individual thought, leading people to willingly give up books in exchange for mindless entertainment.
