Lying back, I release a deep breath like the wind gushing ashore from a huge wave. As I start to relax all my muscled in a sort of trance, I realize how close I am to falling asleep that very instance. As I reach over to the side of my bed and click the only button on the white blob that resembles an alien looking shell complete with funny grooves and a flat green section with squares. I spin the top of it watching the numbers flash a million times as the broken display board acts as if it has epilepsy until I stop interfering with it, its almost like an old computer. I then feel the surge of heat rushing through that one blanket filled with wires amongst all the other plain and normal blankets. I let my eyes wonder around the room as they come across $250 dollars of electrical entertainment. As I grab it I put the two funny buds in my ears awaiting the sound that will soon rush out of it. I hit the switch on the side that makes all of the 130,560 pixels in exclusion to that one lonely dead pixel come to life immersing me in all of the colors it can display. I play all the music I have personally put into it while watching the array of lights that the visualizer engenders. The overwhelming almost coma-inducing heat from that one unique blanket and the rhythmic tune form the funny buds puts me to sleep almost instantly; the tune from the buds still ragging on through the night.

1/24 Fahrenheit 481 pp. 81-91
I'm confused as to what Guy was going to say on page 86. He says: “I’ve got a list of fireman’s residences everywhere. With some sort of underground— “ He just trails off, I don’t really know what he is going to say.
Q:
Faber jokingly proposes a plan of action and then starts to discuss it seriously with Montag. What is the plan of action? More importantly, why does he say it won’t work? Analyze his answer. Why won't it work?
A:
Faber says it won’t work for two reasons. 1: No one can set the fires. 2: You can’t trust anybody. I think this is half right, half wrong because I think that if a fireman is caught with a book there house can be burnt down. However I do agree with the second thing that Faber said: you can’t trust anybody. I think that they went around asking people to join them they would both be put in jail, there's no way to find anyone who can join them.
