  2. Montag is openly caring like with Clarisse. He pays attention and only asks questions when he is wondering why she would do something like that.He is understanding even when he cant completely comprehend what's going on.

    1. Yes, Paje, that was a huge event for Montag. Was he already questioning his life and work before that incident? What do you think?

  9. You bring up some important qualities about Montag. He seems to be going through a crisis in his life, not unlike Holden Caulfield. He no longer believes he's doing the right thing. He has been collecting books hoping that they contain some answers or clues to his dilemma. He is searching. He is having a difficult time connecting with his co-workers because of the incident with the woman who burned herself. He no longer fits in this world, but he is scared to do anything about it.

    1. Go a bit deeper. I agree with everything you have written but can you pull evidence from the text that proves your point?
