9th (pt. 2)

     In the pages we read today and on Friday a lot happened. Mildred had her friends over to watch a tv show. However, Montag comes home while they are watching. He tries extremely hard to make small talk and visits many subjects, but they don't bite. He gets annoyed by the fact that they are so sucked into their tv show and not caring about anything, but their own entertainment that he leaves. He goes and grabs a poetry book and comes back. Faber is yelling in his ear the whole time to stop, but he doesn't stop. He brings the book out to Mildred's friends and asks what poem they want to here. Mildred comes up with a story so they don't report him. He starts to read the poem to them. One of them burst into tears and the other starts to yell at him. Montag tells them he will kick them out as Mildred starts to head to the bathroom. She goes in and takes a large dose of pills so she can go to sleep. 


Literary elements: 

"killed jumping off buildings" this is situational irony because if you jump off a building it is suicide 

"The images drained away, as if the water had been let from a gigantic crystal bowl of hysterical fish." This is a simile.
