The Big Read – Part Two

The Sieve and the Sand

I don’t know what it is about act two, but this isn’t the first time I’ve been completely disinterested in what was going on in a second act. I just couldn’t find anything that really jumped out at me, but I’ll try. Comments are open, so please share your thoughts (on any section, not just this one).

Faber is fairly ineffectual in his role as a moderate mentor. He did not prepare Montag well enough, and Montag took his newfound thirst for revolution too far when he interrupted his wife’s gathering. While fiery energy is good you need to recognize which people you can challenge and which people need to be slowly introduced to new ideas. I imagine Montag’s outburst will be his downfall, but I wonder if it will be one of the friends or Millie herself that will turn Montag in. By the end of part two it didn’t come as a surprise that the house they received a call about was indeed Montag’s.
