Summary : Part three, pg. 113-139.
This is the part where it's interesting, even though books are illegal and no one should have them in their home, Montag jeopardized himself and now suffering the consequences; which is to torch his own house.
Facing his home with the Captain, there was no way to turn back or run because Beatty made sure the Mechanical hound was there. As soon as he saw Mildred ran with a suitcase and went straight to the beetle leaving his side.
Slide shows was starting to flash in his mind because the life he was living was all fake, everything is ruin; his marriage, his career, his life by having books in his home, Beatty kept manipulating him. Montag rage had accumulated and started to torch down his house. After burning his place Beatty told him that he’s now under arrest but still provoking him with words and made Montag burn him to death. The mechanical hound attack Montag and caught his leg but he had escaped by burning it too.
He finds a gas station and washes the soot off his face so he will look less suspicious. He hears on the radio that war has been declared. He starts to cross a wide street and was nearly hit by a car speeding toward him. At first, Montag thinks it is the police coming to get him, but he later realizes the car’s passengers are children who would have killed him for no reason at all, and he wonders angrily whether they were the motorists who killed Clarisse. He creeps into one of his coworkers’ houses and hides the books, then calls in an alarm from a phone booth.
As soon as he had arrived at Faber’s house, tells him what has happened, and gives the professor some money. Faber instructs him to follow the old railroad tracks out of town to look for camps of homeless intellectuals and tells Montag to meet him in St. Louis. Then Faber turns on the TV news, and they hear that a new Mechanical Hound, followed by a helicopter camera crew has been sent out after Montag. Montag had pack Faber’s old clothes and tells him how to eliminated his scent so that the hounds wont track that Faber had Montag at his present and not call the police and also get arrested.
Now Montag started to run toward the river, while running he had put a seashell in his ear and hears an announcement telling everyone to get up and look out their doors and windows for him on the count of ten but Montag had made it out of town.
Connect issues with the current social and/or political climate. Part three,pg 113-139.
1. Inequity Book: people can't have knowledge in there society because they want to avoid any conflict. Now: Some people take advantage of it, others don't.
2. Betrayal, Book: Mildred never stood by Montag side. She was very distant and unreadable, always into her "family" soap opera. Beatty was suppose to be a friend but kept manipulating Montag without him noticing. Now: It still going around
3. Entertainment Book: T.V parlor is what they only stick on. Now: We have the opportunity to do everything, read, write, exercise, etc.
I'm a writing professor at Hudson County Community College. I have been teaching here for about 10 years, and I love working with the eclectic bunch of students I meet each semester.
