THURSDAY
• QW – Professor Faber says (in section 7) “Mr.
Montag, you are looking at a coward. I saw the
way things were going, a long time back. I said
nothing. I’m one of the innocents who could
have spoken up and out when no one would
listen to the ‘guilty,’ but I did not speak and
thus became guilty myself. And when finally
they set the structure to burn the books, using
firemen, I grunted a few times and subsided,
for there were no others grunting or yelling
with me, by then.”
• Why is this important? Connect this back to
first quarter and the importance of doing the
right thing.
THURSDAY

• 3 questions (remember vocab)

2. When Montag returns to the firehouse for work, he is
divided. What are the divisions within himself that he
experiences?
3. The Captain recounts his dream in which he defeats
Montag’s argument for the importance of books.
Choose one of the Captain’s quotes that directly argues
against the power of books and explain what the quote

4. How does Montag feel about himself as he rides the fire
truck with the other men to burn more books?
FRIDAY
QW - Connect this quote to anything from
Fahrenheit 451 and today’s world:
•“Ah, love, let us be true to one another! For the
world, which seems to lie before us like a land
of dreams, so various, so beautiful, so new,
hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, not
certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; and we
are here as on a darkling plain swept with
confused alarms of struggle and flight, where
ignorant armies clash by night.” (96-97)
FRIDAY
