Continued reading and questions

Today I collected the reading logs and your intro paragraphs.

Next you worked in your literature circles to read the next section of material (pages 71-88ish)

Here are the questions that need answers BY MONDAY!

1.      Questions for pages 71(ish)- 88(ish) –Fahrenheit 451

1. What does Guy remember when he’s trying to think of how he can possibly make sense of what he’s reading?
2. Why do you think Faber trusted a fireman to know his home address, when that fireman clearly knows he has an illegal book hidden in his coat right at that moment, and can quote poetry?  In their brief interaction, what might have led Faber to believe he could trust Guy with that information?
3. Why does Guy call Faber on a secondary phone instead of on the main phone line?
4. When Guy tells Mildred that the Bible he has may be the last one left in this part of the world, what does she remind him about?
5. What does Guy think is the only thing left for him to do?
6. What does Guy ask Mildred about her ‘family’ of characters on television, and what is her reply?
7. How does Faber look and act when Guy first shows up at his door, and when, why, and how does his behavior change?
8. What does Faber tell Guy about his regrets from the past?
9. What does Faber tell Guy about books and about what Guy really needs?
10. What does Faber tell Guy about good writers, mediocre writers, and bad writers?
11. When Guy tells Faber his idea of getting a printing press and printing extra copies of books, how does Faber respond, and why? What twist does Faber suggest to Guy’s plan?
12. Faber suggests they could harness the rage of actors who no longer get to perform Shakespeare, etc., and historians who haven’t written a line for forty years, and they could form classes in thinking and reading, but then says this would only ‘nibble the edges’ of society.  What does Faber say about how often the firemen are necessary, and why this is the case?
13. What does Faber show Guy he has invented?  What does it do, and how does Faber seem to hope to be able to use it?

(I realized the sheet you had in class had the questions out of order.  I have given them to you hear in order they appear in the book.  Sorry for the confusion).
