Fahrenheit 451 Q6

Please choose one passage from the novel that is significant to you. Why is this passage meaningful? Please trype it into one of your entries and comment on what you think about the passage.

How do you get so empty? he wondered. Who takes it out of you? And that awful flower the other day, the dandelion! It had summed up everything hadn't it? What a shame! You're not in love with anyone!" And why not?

This quote reveals that the emptiness of relationships between Guy Montag and Mildred. This made my feeling very sad, because when the boy and the girl love each other they get married but in this novel they didn't even care about each other and only think about themselves. It is so sad that the government even controlled people to not to love each other. In my opinion, the government is so fool or physco because they enshrouded the whole truth like love, enjoying, friendship, and caring. Maybe the government is so stupid or worried that they cannot even express their feeling to each other. If I was in this situation and realize the truth I would rather kill one of government's and commit suicide for the future and the all of the people. The place that government is taking control is where no place to live for human. It destructs the human knowledge and basic senses that they had. Government is destructing slowly and it's like committing suicide. Because of government's deep attachment people are began to degenerate and began to become like monkeys in the jungle.

"Are you happy?"

Also this quote reveals that the Clarisse is the first teacher of Guy Montag. When Guy Montag heard about this quote, he thinks deeply about it and began to realize small things like happiness and love. Through her teaching he realizes that he is not in love with anyone and also his wife doesn’t love him.
Clarisse knew the truth, how the world has turned into. She was so depressed and lost her hope long ago.
