*Are there any settings in this novel which you have found to be beautiful? or disturbing? or memorable? describe these settings and comment on why they were meaningful to you.
The scene where the lady stays in her house burning with her books was disturbing. Only because of books, she left the world in pain. The setting “was a flaking three-story house in the ancient part of the city, a century old if it was a day, but like all houses it had been given a thin fireproof plastic sheath many years ago, and this preservative shell seemed to be the only thing holding it in the sky (p. 35).”
When I read this part, it really made me question why she really had to stay because of the books. I would have just left the books and live, but she chose to die with the books. It made very curious but sad too. It was really shocking when I read that the woman was really dead by the fire. I thought on the last second, she would run out of the house to live, but she didn’t. This was meaningful to me because the woman showed how much she valued the books. She didn’t give up the books. Her determination is where I should learn and follow. This scene is important and a key turning point for Montag in the book.
