I honestly don't think shes right. However, eventhough she is being a mindless drone, burning books and doing what she is told is her life. She doesn't really know how to do anything else, on her own or not. I dislike her character emensly for burning books secretly but we really can't expect much else from her. Can we??
This is part of my 4th SSR blog but I really want to know what could of happened for the questions proposed.
So in this SSR I decided to delve deep into the thought process that was needed to figure out what Ray Bradbury was talking about(and its results) on page 127-128. Here Montan came very close to getting crushed but he narrowly avoided the "beetle." When he looked back it was a carful (beetle full) of kids that had decided to hit him because he was walkingl. I wonder what would happen if the kids did that and succeeded? Would there be a story on the parlor about it? Would Millie miss Guy? Would Millie be sad that Guy was gone? Would Mildred even know Guy was gone? What would happen when the search hounds finally caught up to an already dead Guy? What would the viewers think of that tv? Would anything happen at all? I wonder......
