Page: 18 (Hungry)
The word hungry struck me. Mildred feels this way after her long forgotten stomach pumping from a traumatic overdose. She doesn't recall anything, just that she feels a terrible hunger. While all this is going on, Montag feels a terrible hunger Montag is hunger for happiness, and a hunger for laughter.
Page: 19 (Thinking)
The word thinking struck me. Montag didn't do a lot of thinking from the start. Through the course of time of knowing Clarisse, he started to think. His eyes were opened, and he began to think for himself for a change. As Buddha once stated: "All things are preceded by the mind, led by the mind, created by the mind." Montag's government's hold on censorship would lose it's grip because of many of the working minds.
