Fahrenheit 451. Pg 158-165

Ask a question

I wonder who they were at war with and why?

B. What does Montag mean when he says, “And when they ask us what we are doing , you can say, We’re remembering” ? Why is this quote important? How does it fit into the novel, what is Bradbury trying to say with this?

They say this because basically the whole point of knowing and reading books is to know about the past of humanity and to leaern from mistakes and success. By remembering things these people will become very knowledgable. All books have are ideas and facts to be remembered. That is what is so great and phenominal about them. That is why "they will win in the long run" in the long run they will remember the past and how to improve on it to better the future.
