There isn't many fundamental things that I don't understand so far, but I do have one question. Why does Montag suddenly start ripping apart the bible. In this part I was a little lost so it may have been out of context. Does anyone have an answer?
Q. Faber jokingly proposes a plan of action and then starts to discuss it seriously with Montag. What is the plan of action? More importantly, why does he say it won’t work? Analyze his answer. Why won't it work?
A. Montag's proposed plan was to plant books in different firemen's houses, call in the alarm, and watch them burn to the ground so as to arise suspicion of treason against the great firemen. Faber really likes this plan but then realizes that challenges that go with it. For example, planting the books and finding somebody trustworthy to tell and plot with. They need more men to set the fires with and it will only work if the people they trust don't rat them out to the firemen first. I agree with his worries because it will be very hard for somebody in this society that will be trustworthy enough to make such a brave act.

Chris, I actually was kind of confused why Montag started ripping apart the Bible. Now that I think about it and after rereading the paragraphs where he was doing that, I think he was trying to get Faber to listen to him by kind of blackmailing him. He was kind of saying if you don't do this, I'm going to rip the Bible apart. I also think Montag was sort of confused. I think this is a good question and I'm not really sure of the answer.
