In part two of Fahrenheit 451, I understand the book even better. There are only a couple of things that I am not sure of though, such as the parlor, the walls, and the "family". In my opinion, the parlor is just a room where there are fake people, the family, in which to spend your time with. The walls, I believe, are large, enhanced televisions.
Also in part two of the book, I love how the author compares things to other things. For example, the green ear radio in Montag's ear is compared to a moth in a cave. Another thing Ray Bradbury did that interested me was the cliffhanger at the end of part two, stating, "'Why,' said Montag slowly, 'we've stopped in front of my house.'" I just can't wait to start part three so I could see what ends up happening to Montag.

Ray Bradbury, does compair many thing to other things many times. Like in the begining of the story, he compaired the fire hose to a python, and the ear radio to the moth in a cave, like you said. I like the edscriptions Ray comes up with, they make the story a lot more interesting.
Good observations. How do those descriptions - a moth in a cave or a python - help strengthen the ideas Bradbury is trying to get across? What deeper meaning do they bring with them to the literal description?
Keep reading and thinking.
