Fahrenheit 451 pgs. 81-91

Q. Write a question. What are you confused about?
A. What was the little Seashell Radio that Faber had? & What was it used for?

Q. A. According to Faber, “three things are missing” from the popular media (like the “parlor games) of his society. Write what they are and explain what he means.
A. The three things that were missing from popular media, were :
1. Quality of Information ; I think what he means is that in a book, there are many qualities. Like some of the examples he lists, like a book has features. I think what this means is that a book has to have certain standards for it to be good.
2. Leisure to Digest ; I think what he means is that people should make time for themselves to take time to enjoy the world around them.
3. The right to carry out actions based on what we learn from the interaction of the first two ; I think this one is pretty self explanitory. You have to be able to do the first two in order to do overcome what you want to do.
