Fahrenheit 451
Please use this passage to answer the remaining questions: 9-12
Lights flicked on and house doors opened all down the street, to watch the carnival set up. Montag and Beatty stared one with dry satisfaction, the other with disbelief, at the house before them, this main ring in which torches would be juggled and fire ate.
"Well," said Beatty, "now you did it. Old Montag wanted to fly near the sun and how that he's burnt his damn wings, he wonders why. Didn't I hint enough when I sent the Hound around your place?"
Montag's face was entirely numb and featureless; he felt his head turn like a stone carving to the dark place next door, set in its bright border of flowers.
