ReplyDelete@catieg I think she had a realization that books aren't as bad as she thought, and maybe something is being hidden from her.
ReplyDeleteTo answer Brittany's question, I think the banning and outlawing of books was out of fear of the unknown. Books presented new ideas, and unrealistic storylines. A book could be filled with anything. One person could spread the idea to this society that books could hurt you. One person could blind the society when they are not credible.
ReplyDeleteCatie, the panels on page 84 were confusing to me. I think the concept was simply more appealing to their society. They didn't make connections from books to movies. I am surprised they weren't outlawed as well, but it seems like this follows suit of everything about this society being out of wack.
ReplyDeleteMolly, I think Montag has realized his society has sacrificed open mindedness, the world of thought, and especially freedom. If people don't have the freedom to read books, then it shows the deep absence for true freedom in the society.
