Page: 58 (Imaginative)
The word imaginative struck me. Captain Beatty was giving his speech to Montag about understanding being a fireman, and the purpose of it all. Beatty explained that the schools had produced athletic students more than imaginative students. He explained that the person who was exceptionally bright in your class was always picked for the beatings. That everyone was to be alike. That in the constitution it states: "Everyone was made equal." No one was born free and equal.
Page: 64 (Smash)
The word smash struck me. Montag spoke about not wanting to go back to being a fireman. All he wanted to do at the moment was to smash and kill things. Mildred instructed him to take the beetle and drive 95 mph in the country. She did that sometimes, it was fun to hit rabbits or dogs. Montag refuses and explains that he's just unhappy, and may even take up reading books.
