Fahrenheit 451
I need help with these Fahrenheit 451 Questions
III. The Sieve and the Sand
1. Analyze the analogy of the sand and the sieve? What does each of them represent? What does this have to do with Montag?
2. How do Mildred and her friends react to Montag's reading? Why? What are they feeling?
3. What feeling about the Mildred’s friends does Bradbury communicate by his description of their conversation? Are they seen in a positive or negative way? How can you tell from the connotations of the specific words he uses?
4. When the women get together, what "fire images" does Bradbury use to describe the ladies? List at least five "fire" words that add to the imagery of the scene. Why does he do this, do you think?
5. Why does Montag think of the old man in the park?
6. According to Faber, how has religion changed? Is it a good change? Why?
7. How does Faber see himself and Montag?
