Do the following:
1) Ask a question that you have about what's going on in the novel.
What do you find confusing?
The thing that i found confusing was the relationship between Montag and his wife, Mildred. She seemed very upset because of the insedint with the pills. But then later on she seemed to have improved her attitude and seemed even, maybe happy?

Answer the following question:
1) Even before Montag and his wife Mildred talk to one another we know that they are alienated (distant) from one another.
How does the author convey this?
Montag looks/sees his neighbor, Clarisse, as if he wasn't married. The way she is discribed makes her seem as if she could seduce Montag, and maybe his interest in other women is a sign of a distant relationship.
