6th

 Beatty arrives at Montag's house to see why he was not at work that day. Montag tells him he was sick. They start to discuss the topic of books and how the government did not actually banned books. It was actually people getting so lazy with the reading of the books. The books began to become shorter and shorter until they were so small it wasn't even a book. People did this to themselves, but once they were gone and made illegal it was a big deal to so many people. The fire men decided that nobody should have books and they started to burn instead of putting out. Montag also decides to open up to his completely loving wife named Mildred, he tells her that he says saved books before and he wants to read them with her. They end up reading the books together and reading until they know whats going on.
