In the beginning of the book, Mildred, the wife of Guy Montang, attempts to attempt suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills. This is interesting because the next day, Mildred has no recollection about her suicide attempt. As I was reading the passage when Montang figures out that Mildred had taken too many pills, I really didn¡¦t pity Mildred. Instead, Montang is the one that deserves pitying. He was the one who had to watch his wife being treating by seemingly second rate and emotionless technicians, not doctors. He was the one who stayed up all night, listening to Mildred, wondering what could have caused her to try to kill herself, and if she would do it again. In addition, Mildred seem like a hard person to care for; she seems so engrossed in just watching television. She seems to be slightly superficial and you get the feeling she really doesn¡¦t care for Guy. She is like a doll because her life force is sucked out. When Mildred took the overdose, it symbolizes that something was very wrong with her life and that deep d

The isolation of the book people is very interesting. The fact that books are forbidden causes these people to memorize books! What is kind of fascinating is the fact that the people backing the censorship don¡¦t really care that the book people are there, so long as they don¡¦t bother anybody, it doesn¡¦t really seem to matter. The book people say they are bidding their time for a good operation, but you get the feeling that Montang thinks them slightly cowardly for not taking any major action.

I think Mr. Bradbury is trying to say that if you wait long enough, good times will come, and that you should never judge a book by its cover.

The end of this novel was a big surprise. There were hints throughout the book that the bomber jets were going to have some role in the book, but what happened, was, wow, a total surprise. The fact the whole city was destroyed and that hundreds of innocent people died is overwhelmingly sad, but there wasn¡¦t much of an emphasis on the part of mass death. Much more attention was placed on the fact the Montang was mourning Mildred. Though he claimed he couldn¡¦t cry over Millie, he found that when the news came, he was quite sad indeed. But Mr. Bradbury makes a point of saying, as I interpreted, that everybody who is important was saved. Faber was out in the country, and Guy was safe. Clarisse was already gone, so really out of Montang¡¦s close friends and family, it was only Millie who we assume died. I can¡¦t feel overly unhappy about the destruction of the city because the city was falling apart. The people were becoming like rob
