Fahrenheit 451- Parts 2 and 3

        Bradbury takes us through Fahrenheit 451 almost on the edge of our seats, or atleast I was! Montag reads a poem, "Dover Beach", when Mildred has a friend over to watch TV (her favorite pass time. Actually TV viewing isn't even a pass time for Millie; it's life!).  The poem evokes emotions in Montag, and I think Bradbury put the poem where he did to further emphasize that Montag isn't like everyone else; he actually feels and he's not numb like the others. I get the feeling that hardly anyone else in Montag's world actually has REAL emotions. The lack of emotion comes from the superficial, technological stimulation; humans need other humans in their lives! I believe that is why we humans are here; to help each other. In  Farenheit 451, the humans seem to have forgotten that they actually need each other to feel alive! Mildred doesn't even remember when or how she met her husband! In real life that's supposed to be something that sticks with a woman forever, right? The touch of personalism has been completely lost, and what little value of relationship that's left has been given towards technology.
