Quotes Analysis in Fahrenheit 451

The quote is trying to say that Montag was really happy and had a smile on his face to being unhappy and frowning. He does this by using a simile by comparing his smile turning into a frown and a burning candle. This is important because Montag believes he is happy but the more he thinks about Is he happy and sees his bedroom, he starts to see that he is not truly happy. It reveals that Montag starts to see the reality in which he is not truly happy. I feel that this happens to everyone because everyone has that one moment when something happens to you and you try to play it off as everything is fine when really you are sad and want to be alone. The quote is saying that people in their society are afraid of firemen and don't get to know that person when they are just ordinary people. This is important because society just decides to make assumptions of people, society is afraid of the firemen and are just jumping to conclusions or assuming the kind of people those firemen are. This reveals the kind of society in which they live in, the society doesn't want to know people or socialize, they assume the character of that person.

In this quote, Bradbury is saying that there are so many bad people in the world. It is important because out of all those billions of people in the world, you only seem to meet those that bring struggle to your life other than those that can bring peace and harmony to you. This starts to reveal Montags feelings towards society and not to get too close to anyone because we all live in a world where things might not be what you expect. I feel that Bradbury has a point here in which that society can turn on you at any point because you can never trust anyone because you never know what this person might be trying to do. The quote is trying to say that everyone is using everyone and moving on to the next and not care about that person. As if you were using a box of tissues, you use the tissue and move on to the next. This is important because it just comes to shows here society has come to, people don't just seem to care about others and are just trying to get something from them. This reveals that people in their society are really bad and use people for their being. I feel that this true in many cases, in most relationships today, some people don't care about their partner and just go after them for one thing weather it is money or popularity.

The quote is saying that this woman is getting the last feeling of her books before they burn them. This is important because it shows how important these books or any book in general is important to her because she is ready to be killed alongside with the books.This reveals that books are really important to people and that a books importance is not the physical book itself but what the book means to a person. I feel that books must really be something special because someone is willing to die for their books. The quote is trying to say that Beatty was concerned about Montag, he wan not worried about Montag but he felt something off about him. This is important because it starts to tell us about what Montag was thinking about, which was the fire last week. This reveals that Montag was worried about the man. Also, he starts to wonder if the firehouse has always been the way it was right now. This makes me feel that when you are worried or thinking about something, there is alway someone that is curious or wondering about what you are thinking about because in this quote Beatty knows that there is something off about Montag.

The quote is trying to say that when at times you want to be left alone, it is not always the best choice because you need to be pushed or bothered in his case to be able to live life to the fullest and care about yourself and the world around you. This is important because Montag is telling Mildred that she is not living her life to the fullest. She believes that her life is great because that is the way the government in their society wants them to live. This reveals that being normal in their society means that they should be happy, but their society is living in an inaccurate definition of happiness. This makes me feel that we should take advantage of the life we live in because they don't have the access to do the things that we can.The quote is saying that a book must have some kind of value to it in order to make someone want to take their life for some books. This is important because this is the start of Montag questioning the way the firemen deal with books like why the firemen burn the books when people are so attached to them. This reveals the importance of a book for people and Montag new view or opinion on books. This makes me feel that a book must have quite the value to make someone risk their life because I am really attached to my cell phone along with millions of other people but I would not take my life for a cellphone.
