wow....this is more boring than I thought it was....thanks guys for revealing the ending, you spoiled the whole fun of reading the book..haha just kidding, its bored the crap out of me anyways....this world seems more crazier than I thought...so now Millie, who had too much sleeping pills last night gets up next morning not remembering anything....its just like when you smoke weed, you don't remember anything and it takes over you...not that I've tried it...montag's wife is getting more stupid by every page...i can imagine her forgetting the pill one time but having an overdose of about 40 pills due to not remembering, it seems like she needs some medical help...when the mechanical hound growled at montag, it should have been a clear signal that montag had something to hide about. this shows that people were blindly supported and trusted by the society based on their profession. peoples perception was that a fireman cannot be a person hiding books as it is morally against his profession. i think people in this world are not allowed to have any imagination and cannot work against the supreme power(the government). this sounds like communism. the framework of the society is more or less like china. montag is kinda attracted to Clarisse since the book refers to him looking forward to meeting Clarisse. . .i guess clarisse is dead. her death is almost ignored and is not given the adequate attention the writer should have given..montag seems kinda disturbed but is in a state when you are so shocked that you feel like ignnoring the incident and pretend it never happened. then when montag responds to the call, he steals a book which kinda proves that clarisse has influenced montag's behavior. I am not too sure about the woman burning herself for books...i mean one would have to be really passionate about something that they can die for and books somehow doesen't strike as things to die for. although, i think the books have been used as a symbol to represent freedom....the relationship of guy and his wife doesen't seem very stable since guy hides the secret of the stolen books from his wife...
