Not a quiz, sorry for leaving that on earlier.  These questions were derived from what used to be a quiz, but just guiding questions for approximately pg. 24-50

Fahrenheit 451


Why does Montag feel sorry for the hound, even though it is mechanical and has no feelings? (“That’s sad...” said Montag.) What is Montag admitting about himself with this statement?


Describe the difference between Clarisse’s view of being “social” and her school’s view of being “social”. How does it serve as a contradiction to how we typically view these labels?

What reason does Clarisse have for being afraid of children her own age? Why is this significant in regard to Bradbury's concern about society overall?


Explain what the woman with the books did on her front porch when the firemen were trying to get her out of the house. By not giving them a choice, how did she retain both dignity and the ability to choose her own fate?

What is the question Montag asks Mildred that neither of them know the answer to and how is it symbolic of how his views on life are changing?

How does this quote help define Montag’s marriage?

“Well, wasn’t there a wall between him and Mildred, when you came down to it? Literally not just one wall but, so far, three!”
