I just hate this for Montage. I can only imagine how much pain everyone must be going through in that world. To sum up the experience, they are Anti-intellectuals. Mildred is so brainwashed she called them on her husband. Batey knew Montage held a fire hose in his hand but continued pushing him emotionally. Batey wanted to die. He is a coward! I wonder what the other fire fighters thought as it all went down.

The fact that the Tv is created to input the watcher name when addressing the audience is quite creepy. The show named Family & Mildred called it “My family” Her desperation for connection. glad Monty asked her “Does your family love you?” She kept books hidden but switches her perspective about the books too many times. Has the show caused emotional instability? Is she fighting herself?

Its clear the girl was waiting for him. She’s either very stupid & too trusting or very brave & assertive. After meeting the girl he admitted he had not read any of them. He isn’t much of a thinker clearly. It’s clear he felt sure of himself & his duties without giving it much thought. What about burning books makes him believe he’s happy? Why does the realization that he’s not causes his body such pain?

Penn Bradly voice is so lovely and perfect for audiobooks.
I was a bit confused but realized he was a firefighter. It was a bit odd. I asked myself why is a firefighter burning books. He smiled at burning the books. He felt proud of himself. The question is, does he see them as a threat to society or is he just “following orders”? It makes me think of right wingers banning books to “protect children.”
