Over the next few sections I read about Guy's excitement for
his knowledge. He first began to try it out (irresponsibly) with the ladies
from the parlor (Mrs. Bowles, and Mrs. Phelps). During a mutual conversation
with the ladies, as well as his wife, they began to engage in a particular
political conversation, which as any conversation today, can get a bit out of
hand due to further disagreements. "Compare Winston Noble and Hubert Hoag
for ten seconds and you can almost figure the results", (Bradbury 97).
This comment frustrated Montag so he was eager to pull his knowledge out to make
since of their analytical errors. He was more so into proving his point than
thinking logically. "Montag." A whisper...."Leave me alone!
Montag felt himself turning in a great circling roar and buzz and
hum.....Montag hold on, don't..." , (Bradbury 97). These quotes represent
the conversation between Faber and Montag as he tried hard to calm Montag's
excitement to prove his point, however, it failed. I began to reflect on how we
feel as individuals when we know something that would shock or even amaze
others to the point of scaring them. We become so eager to do just as Montag
was exemplifying- "What'll you prove!"....."Scare.... out of
them, that's what, scare the living daylights out!” (Bradbury 98). This
particular section seemed more humorous to me from the ladies reactions versus
Montag's stubbornness to resign his intentions. It was almost a tug of war type
of situation. (248 words).
