F451: Burning Bright
Burning Bright is by far the most interesting section of Fahrenheit 451. I enjoyed the action of this section. Montag burning Beattey really got me interested. The alerts over the radio also made me want to keep reading and see what was going to happen. I think Montag had to do what he did to save himself. One thing I wondered about was if the men Montag came upon when he washed ashore were the same men Faber had told him about? I thought it was weird that the men he came upon had all memorized sections of books, why? This book turned out good in the end and was much better than I had expected.

F451:The Seive and The Sand
I liked this section much better than the first part of the book. I didn't understand why if Montag was so curious about books why he didn't just quit working as a fireman. Also I didn't quite understand the whole situation with Faber. Why was he scared when Montag called him? Also why did Montag's wife freak out so much about him having books? I realize it put the life in danger but if she didn't like it couldn't she have told on him? What does Montag filling up a sieve with sand have to do with anything other than the title for this section of the book?? Another confusing thing was "Denham's Dentrifice". What is a dentrifice and why does it keep repeating it? The book was more interesting in this section and I understood it more. Although I was sad to hear that Clarisse actually died. Other than that I liked this section of the book.
