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 was in the living room: Mildred and her friends were sitting in the living room watching "The White Clown" in the parlor. Guy pulls the power and all of the women get scared. They start talking about the war and politics, and the women started being very conceited about their husbands,children and Guy gets angry. Montag reads them poetry from a book and one of the women begins to cry and then says that she is never coming back to their house again.
The second scene was in the fire house with beatty: Montag returns to the fire-house and the men are playing poker. Beatty welcomed him back, saying he is glad he is over his sickness. Beatty begins to mess tourment Montag with a dream he had, explaining that they were throwing literary terms at each other and that everytime Montag would use something clever from a book, Beatty would frustrate him back it with something that contradicted what he said from the same book. Then there is an alarm, and when they arrive at the house, it is Montags.
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?
