Fahrenheit 451 pp. 3-21

1. What does the word "hearth" mean?
2. Mildred and Montag seem to disagree with each other and don't listen to each other. At one point, Mildred said she was "obviously waiting for him to go" (Page 20). They don't seem to like each other very much. Mildred never pays attention to Montag. She reads his lips because she has things in her ears, but she doesn't speak in response. She just nods her head.
