Last we left Montag he had decided to investigate the reason behind firemen and their actions, but even with his best effort, he was stumped. Sure he could read but did not understand! He had no clue what he was reading because he couldn’t think complex enough to understand the concepts. He seeked help from a scholar he had met in the park one year ago. He found him and convinced him to help. This new dynamic duo sets out to save books, and move the country towards a revolution.
Text to Self Connection: Whenever I am confused or lost I also seek out the help of friends or family. I hate floundering in my own confusion and seek out help to guide me to understanding. If at first I don’t get it, I try, and try again.
Text to Text Connection: Montag in this section reminded me of Stanley Yelnats from Holes. Montag has trouble understanding what he is reading, so he goes off and finds Faber to help him. In Holes, Stanley can’t dig his holes by himself, so he finds Zero, another boy at the camp to help him dig. They both struggled and instead of drowning chose to find someone to teach them how to swim.
