The thing that confused me the most in this section was during the part with Montag watching his wife during the operation. I didn't understand why they were operating on her. Later on towards the end i realized that it had to do with her taking all the sleeping pills, at first I had thought that he had taken them.
The reader was able to tell the distance between the two spouces because of the part where he talks about imagining his wife waiting for him in bed which hadn't actually happend in at least two years. But what confused me later is in the morning they talked as if they had just seen each other the other day and had bought the third wall just two months ago.
The thing that confused me the most was about half of the readings because to me the writing was too descriptive and instead of realizing what was going on I was caught up in all the detail.
the author conveyed the distance of guy montag and his wife when he was imagining his wife waiting for him in bed but then he said that that had not happened in two years. I thought that was how he conveyed their distance because normal couples are waiting in bed for eachother on a normal basis but he made it seem like the were a normal couple.
1. The thing that i found confusing was the relationship between Guy and his wife. Is Mildred depressed? The night when she took the pills i thought that she was, but later in the morning, she seemed happy.
The part that let you know that they didnt have a good relationship was that he envisioned his wife waiting for him in bed. When he got home, his wife was in her bed and he went to his own separate one, which is abnormal for a married couple.
The most confusing part in this book was when Guy Montag met Clarisse McClellan because she told him of many things that are happening now. It got me wondering if this was in later years or if this was in a different dimension or something. Another thing that was confusing was when the little girl asked him if he was happy and then she left that was something I didn’t really understand. The author conveys the distance between Guy and his wife, Mildred, by describing how Guy is imagining his wife laying on the bed waiting for him to come home. Another way he describes this is by telling how the couple reacts when the see each other for the first time in a long while.
