Online meeting notes

This week's online meeting notes! Brought to you by the April 16th Live.

• Everyone has been going through a difficult and stressful time with this "new normal"
• chaos is happening in everyone's lives, some have adjusted and began developing routines but others are still having trouble
• During thes times, obviously there is chaos, but there are moments where everything is beautiful because we see people/groups show so much love and support to others

Book Notes:

• Recap: Montag is on the run.
• He almost got runover by a car
• Fahrenheit 451 isn't exactly spot on with it's predictions because as of right now, there is still that small sliver of hope and actual human kindness/decency being shown
• Montag wonders if the people speeding up to run him over were the ones who killed Clarisse
• Montag goes to Mrs. Black's house, who's husband is a firemen, and planted a book to frame them
• Did it so the firemen could burn down the house, just like Mr. Black does (for revenge)
• Referring to the "war" the society and any "outside thinkers" have in the book, America is also at war... but Americans don't even know with who at this point
• Faber guides Montag by telling him what path to take when he runs away, noting that Montag was in deep trouble and would possibly be dead by noon
• Montag gives Faber a $100 bill and tells him to use it in any way
• "St. Louis" is the first city name we've heard throughout the book that would help us locate where it takes place
• It is revealed that a new mechanical hound is on the hunt for Montag, and the TV broadcast is able to follow the hound through the hunt
• prediction of what has become reality television
• Montag watched as the broadcast continued and couldn't believe that all of it was happening because of him, he couldn't process that he was a part of this huge moment
• "Why would the news make this story so big?"
• Probably to show the citizens that this society should be taken seriously and if you break the rules, you will receive severe consquences
• Montag tells Faber what to do with everything he touched in order for the hound not to know that he was there
• Montag is on the run.
