    Semester One Final Prompt 1 I believe that when Montag was at the climax of his rage and holding a flamethrower to Beatty and threatening to kill him Beatty continued to insult him and then asked Guy to hand the flamethrower over he didn’t want to die.

    “A twitch at the controls could swerve the cat’ , but the driver’s hands could not twitch because the monster that built the tractor, the monster that sent the tractor out, had somehow got into the driver’s hands into his brain and muscle, had goggled him and muzzled him- goggled his mind, muzzled his speech, goggled his perception, muzzled his protest.” (35) In chapter five the narrator describes a scene where one can clearly see how tenants have taken advantage of the people since everyone is desperate for a job. This scene also indicates how people are reacting to how the tenant’s mindset has changed. Steinbeck portrays tenants as a monster because they are aware of what they are doing, but are selfish and greedy.

    What does this passage make you think of or remember? Personally, this passage reminds me a lot of Farenheit 451. I see notable parallels between the conditions of Willy Loman and Guy Montag. In the chapters leading up to the revelation of all the secret books he had been keeping and his eventual departure from home and his wife in Farenheit 451, Guy Montag can be shown growing increasingly displeased with his current situation.
