Passage #1: “Then you know Prometheus was rescued in the end.

In analyzing this passage I really see Agamemnon holding on to his pride. So tight it is insulting, whether its due to self-consciousness or worry, it is over dramatic. It seems as if he thinks his wife is being too generous toward him that it makes him feel unworthy and incapable of doing stuff on his own, “ You treat me like a woman. Groveling, gaping up at me!” He acts as if he is unworthy, “There is no need to sound my reputation.

‘Are you [Guy Montag] happy?’”(Bradbury 10). This chipper personality directly contradicts that of Mildred Montag, the wife of Guy. She is a cold, miserable prototype of her shifting society.

Analysis: This passage appears to be important as it suggests that someone― a fireman or who has access to the Hound― has a vendetta against Guy. This is important because it's the first hint of a true antagonist that the readers have gotten. Entry 3: Passage: "'The first time we ever met, where was it, and when?'... 'Funny, how funny, not to remember where or when you met your husband or wife.' " Page 40 (Mildred and Montag) Situation: Mildred and Guy cannot remember anything about when they met.

1. Chapter One: “The Hearth and the Salamander” (Part 1) As Montag preformed his duties as a fireman, he was overjoyed, comparing the sight of fire to an “amazing conductor playing… to bring down the… ruins of history” (1). After finishing with his responsibilities, he makes his way home, but begins to wonder if he was actually alone this late at night. He continues to walk, although, it’s hard for him to ignore the fleeting feeling that someone else was nearby.

Mice of Men Anticipation Guide Journal The statement “A true friend will tell you the truth even if you don’t want hear it” proves to be true in most circumstances.

1) Thoreau is a quite unusual guy that wants to be isolated from civilization/human society due to the reasons that he believes should be obtained by every civilian. Thoreau wants to move to a place away from people but a place where there is nature around. Wild nature that isn’t touched by humans and that they would make. Thoreau wants to leave human society because he believes that there is something wrong with civilization for him. He believes that the world is moving too fast, and technology is growing faster.

Consequently, she is burned alongside those books in the fire. Before the incident, Guy listens to Captain Beatty’s rant about how evil books are, but during the conversation Beatty strangely quotes a bit of literature despite his hatred.

But cars started rushing by so quickly they had to stretch the advertising out so it would last” (pg.7, ch.1 The Hearth And The Salamander). I find this quote significant because it perfectly explains the lives of the people in this novel. Moving fast, not paying attention and for what? To die in a car crash at only 17?

Mildred is a housewife, and as such, spends most of her time indoors, tending to the house. Like I previously mentioned, home is encompassed by the parlor walls. So as Mildred has been conditioned to take care of the house while Montag is away, she’s become addicted to the parlor walls. Her daily routine is similar to this - wake up, eat, watch the parlor walls, eat, watch the parlor walls, eat, sleep. Of course, there may be some slight variation, but her whole routine as well as her whole life revolves around giant television screens.
