In this section Montag starts out by reading a poem to his wife and her friends. This starts a trail of unfortunate events in which he gets turned in by his own wife, is forced to burn down his own house, and then he cooks his captain with a flamethrower! That last part isn’t too bad i guess, I mean who wouldn’t want to flamethrower their boss? But then he ends up on the run with a mechanical hound, the unstoppable killing machine, hunting him down.
Text to Self Connection: Sometimes we all feel like taking a flamethrower to our superiors. They can just get on your nerves and push your buttons. I applaud Montag for what he did and soon, metaphorically of course, I will release my anger in a flaming torrent.
Text to Text Connection: In this novel there is the savage death of Beatty. In the book Lone Survivor Marcus and his comrades fought for their lives on top of a mountain in the Middle East, the 4 of them against hundreds. They fought their way down the mountain, getting severely wounded but killing many enemies. They caused many, many savage deaths.
