Fahrenheit 451 (section 2)

We are now up to section 2 of the book.
Summary : Montag begins to read the books with mildred, but she takes no interest. He remembers about meeting Faber and he takes the subway to go find him. They create a plan to plant the books into the firemans houses to get them burned. Meanwhile, Faber's cowardice enrages Montag and he begins to rip out pages of the book, but eventually, stirred by Montag's convictions, Faber joins the plan and gives Montag a communication device.
Later, when Montag heads home, he becomes annoyed and enraged listening to Mildred and her friends talk about meaningless things. He disconnects the television set and begins to read Dover Beach to them. Eventually one of them broke down completely and the other left in rage.
In the next scene, Montag heads to work, fearing the meeting with Beatty. Beatty taunts him and trys to get him to admit that he stole the books when the firehouse alarm sounded.
They rush to the scene and Montag realizes that it is his own house that is being burnt.
Reaction : To me, this section was a lot more interesting then the first. It went at a faster pace and it had more suspence. Escpecially when Montag realizes that they are going to burn his house. If I had to pick a favorite section, it would be when Beatty grills Montag and almost got him to confess about the books. It's strange how much he knows about literature, and yet, he isn't impressed or effected by it. Furthermore, his ability to convince and twist peoples minds in amazing.
In the end, section two was a lot better and more exciting than section one. I liked that there were more twists and turns to the story. I look foward to section three, from what I've heard, it's even better than section two!
