Montag has just met with the man he met in the park a year ago. His name is Faber. Faber is a very old and fragile man with white hair and faded eyes. He is a retired English Professor who favors books very much. Montag goes to Faber because he wanted Faber to teach him about the books. They then start tossing up plans to bring books back. Faber didn’t seem to want to get involved at first until Montag started to bully him by ripping page after page out of the bible he stole until Faber gave in. Montag then asked “Can you help me in any way tonight, with the Fire Captain (Bradbury, 89)?” Montag is referring to the fact that he has to face the Fire Captain tonight and return the stolen book from the recent fire they started since the Fire Captain knew that he stole it. Faber then responded by giving Montag a device that would go into Montag’s ear that allowed them both to speak and hear each other. Faber then said “Go to the firehouse when it’s time. I’ll give you things to say. We’ll give him a good show (Bradbury, 91).” Faber has turned out to be a really nice old man. It excites me that Montag is going out of his comfort zone by trying to figure out more about the books. I really hope that he and Faber can make a difference.
