I chose to use page 80 where Montag has met Faber for the second time in many years. He comes to the door to talk to Faber but Faber is too scared to let him in or trust him because he thinks he is here to burn his books.
2. Make a list of the descriptive words in that scene – minimum of 3, but you should be able to find a lot
- Peered - Bradbury uses this word to describe the slow and cautious movements of the old man when he opened the door. It shows him building up what little courage that he has to look brave while on the inside he cowers.
- Fragile - Fragile shows not only the insistant fear within the man but also the age that characteristically comes with it. This man, Faber, is old and fragile. He can be hurt easily so it shows the reader even more of a reason that he is fearful
- Trembling - Now you know for certain that he is scared. Trembling gives me an image of a soft scared person shaking from head to toe and emits a radience of intense fear.
