Give a very short (1-3 sentence) summary of the two main scenes in this section. The first scence was at home in the living room and the second scene was in the fire house with Beatty.
The First scene include Montag, his wife, and her two other "girlfriends" they were all sitting around the parlor watching another one of their mindless tv shows when Montag walks in and turns it off. This recieves a negative reaction from the women. He starts talking to them about politics and the approaching war, the women respond with mindless answers that clearly punctuate society's stance.
The Second Scene involved Montag's return to the firehouse, and the return of one book, where he was invited to play a game of poker with the other guys and Beatty. As they are playing Beatty starts talking about books and a "dream" that he had about him and Guy and tries to make him nervous by reciting a bunch of random quotes from books. Later they drive to put out a fire and Guy realizes that it's his house that they have driven up to.
1) Find a sentence or two that has strong adjectives and/or verbs. Quote the book and explain why these are strong descriptive words and why they are effective. How do they appeal to the senses? What mental images do they invoke?
"Captain Beatty, his poker cards in one pink hand, walked with exaggerated slowness to the phone and ripped out the address when the report was finished. He glanced perfunctorily at it and shoved it in his pocket."
I enjoyed this quote because it kind of makes me picture Beatty walking with attitude, almost as if strutting. It makes me think that he knows what address he is going to pull out before his hand even reaches in the printer. "exaggerated slowness" almost conveyed suspence but more so orchestrated the fact that Beatty knew all eyes were on him and he controlled the room. "glanced perfunctorily" means that he looked at it quickly then he shoved it into his pocket, more suspence because you want to know what the dramatic conclusion of the address will be.
