THE GLORY OF THE MISTAKE

I think he told Montag that it is OK for him to make mistakes because its a way for him to improve and be better as well as learning what he did wrong so he won't do it again. We can use mistakes to encourage us because since we already went through it once, the other times won't be so bad because you won't repeat what you did the first time and you can express yourself better at what you are doing.

A CASE FOR WAR?

I think that people see the U.S as a country where everyone is rich and doesn't work a day in their life. The only people working are foreigners that aren't really important. Also, we are a powerful nation with a lot of influence but also hated by others because of the amount of power that is in the U.S. I think that people attack the U.S perhaps because they want the kind of liberty and freedom that we are given in their country. Because they can't really have it honestly, they attack us as a way of "choice" from the attackers.

FAILING TO PLAN IS PLANNING TO FAIL

Montag and Faber plan to hide books in firefighters houses so that they can be caught and they will burn down their houses. I think this plan could go both ways, either it'll work,  or they will get caught, yet I am open minded to anything that will happen. Its pretty exciting to me.

SOMETIMES YOU NEED A PROFESSOR

Montag wants to get in touch with Faber because he got curious on the power of books and he wanted to think with his own brain. He reaches out to Faber to get answers to his questions that are floating about in his mind.

IS IT JUST ABOUT THE JOB?

If I would have to do something that would hurt other people, I wouldn't be able to live with the guilt. I am not one to hurt others or do something just to hurt someone's feelings. I live by the "treat others the way you want to be treated" as well as just being kind to everyone. I don't like negativity or hate because that just tears people apart and I don't like that. I would rather be on good terms with everyone else than to have a really good paycheck knowing I hurt someone.

THIS CAT IS CURIOUS

I think that curiosity comes from both out personality and culture and also how we see things. Like the example given of "curiosity killed the cat" and eating from the forbidden tree, we are always curious. It's just part of our daily things of being human. If we weren't curious, then we wouldn't really be where we are at today as a human race. If people weren't curious to explore the "new world" after Columbus, the U.S perhaps wouldn't have existed like it does now. Curiosity is what led to technology and how we live now.

MY INNER HAPPY

I think that the internal things that can make us happy are inner peace within ourselves. Personally, I don't need materialistic things to be happy if I am happy with myself I have everything I need. Me being healthy, and safe, as well as my family and loved ones is what I cherish most. Much hasn't really changed for me since the pandemic started and my family as well as I are doing just fine at home. :)
