What happen to Mrs. Phelps

          I stumbled out of the house, still crying from... what? Why was I crying? The poetry was not important. Mr. Montag only had it because he had to show us how funny and useless books were.  Why did the book make me so emotional? Only my family can make me feel as sad as that poem did. Was it because the poem reminded me of Pete?

"Ignorant armies clash by night."

         Was Pete part of the ignorant army? Will he be OK? Mr. Montag seems to know everything. I sure hope he was happy after reading that poem, because I sure wasn't. Firemen shouldn't be able to bring books home. They shouldn't. No... they sure shouldn't. I think I will ask the other firemen to take away that rule. They should only burn the books, like they were made to do. These terrible books were not meant to be shared with the rest of the world. I wonder where the firehouse is. That poem was quite interesting, though. It made me curious... What did the rest of it say? I must ask Mr. Montag. I will go over there now.
          When I reached the front of his house I heard him and Millie arguing. I wonder what they were saying? I leaned a little closer and pressed my ear to the door. I suddenly realize that the door voice would tell them that I was here. I leaped back just in time. Millie opened the door and shrieked.

"What are you doing here!"

"I must speak to your husband." I tell her.

I push past her without another word. Mr. Montag is there  on the floor surrounded by books. It is my turn to shriek now.

"Mr. Montag! You are only allowed to have one book a year!"

He looks like a startled deer in front of headlights. He is stumbling with his words until Millie comes to save him.

"He borrowed books from all of his other firemen buddies. He is getting some kind of unhealthy obsession with books."

I explain to Mr. Montag what I feel about books and he takes a big sigh. He seems to be turning thoughts over in that big head of his.

"I guess we need to have a talk." 

He shows me some strange green device.

"I want to introduce you to a friend of mine: Faber."
