"I don't talk things, sir," said Faber. "I talk the meaning of things. I sit here and know I'm alive."
This quote comes from an old, retired English professor who Montag befriends and talks to for an hour. This quote from him is interesting because in the world of Fahrenheit 451, people don't think very much. They just watch their shows and talk shallow things. They don't think about the meaning of things, but this professor does. This makes me believe that he knows something about the old days, times where people didn't burn books.
I agree. I like how you chose a quote from this character. He is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI agree, nearly everyone in the book is brainwashed so they don't think. This professor actually puts some meaning into what he says.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you analysed a newer quote. All of the other analyses were about an older quote from the book. I think that you could have related Clarisse to the professor because they are sort of similar. They both think deep. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteIt's dangerous for Faber to speak this way in public...so why does he?
