1. I would like your opinion on what you think about this last sentence in the book: "Yes, thought Montag, that 's the one I'll save for noon. For noon. . .When we reach the city." What is your opinion of this sentence.
2. I commented on RG's blog.
3. What does Granger mean when he says, quoting his grandfather, “Shake the tree and knock the great sloth down on his ass”? Why is this quote important? How does it fit into the novel, what is Bradbury trying to say with this?
I think that Bradbury is trying to say that when a person is lazy, you need to knock sense into him or her and make him or her come to their senses and realize the truth. I like the way Bradbury included the sloth. It was a very good way to show an example with laziness being a lesson. This quote is important because Montag didn't know whether books were important or not during the whole novel. Finally, and every time someone tried to knock sense into him, like when Captain Beatty did, he was still uncertain. When he talked to Faber, he trusted him and tried to help him find the truth. He did find the truth, but at a price. But he must realize that life is not always fair and that is another important thing that Bradbury shows.
