- What was Guy Montag's reasoning behind for reading the poem book to the ladies? Was there a deeper meaning to reading the book to them?
- Why was Captain Beaty using the verses in his "dream" to confuse Montag? And how was he able to use these quotes so effectively from people he should not have ever heard of?
I would like some help answering these questions, the more opinions the merrier!

Next few questions;
Why were the alarms only called at night?
Why would Captain Beatty want to die?
if I could get some help that would be wonderful!
-- 20 Apr 2015, 11:31 --
And finally,
Why would Captain Beatty think that Montag was hiding books even before he takes the bible?
Why did his wife, Mildred, let him continue to read the poem book even though she knew that she would lose everything?
Any opinions that anyone has would be greatly appreciated!

This book is a good sci-fi eye opener to a world where men and women think its better to not have books. And the masses just gobble it up as long as you provide them their speaking walls and pills. Hopefully this is not our future.

Gosh, I have no idea which ONE book I would save ... this one, or Orwell's 1984, to warn us where we could end up if we're not careful? Or maybe "The Demon-Haunted World - Science as a Candle in the Dark" by Carl Sagan - essential reading for the post-truth era.
