SSR #4

Fahrenhiet 451 pg 120-End
So in this SSR I decided to delve deep into the thought process that was needed to figure out what Ray Bradbury was talking about(and its results) on page 127-128. Here Montan was near a gas station where when walking he encounters a vehicle that is presumed to be a car: "The police of course.......The beetle was rushing. The beetle was roaring. The beetle raised its speed. The beetle was whining. The beetle was in high thunder. The beetle came kimming. The beetle came in a single whistling trajectory. It was up to 130 (mph) at least." Montan came vrey close to getting crushed but he narrowly avoided the "beetle." When he looked back it was a carful (beetle full) of kids that had decided to hit him because he was walkingl. I wonder what would happen if the kids did that and succeeded? Would there be a story on the parlor about it? Would Millie miss Guy? Would Millie be sad that Guy was gone? Would Mildred even know Guy was gone? What would happen when the search hounds finally caught up to an already dead Guy? What would the viewers think of that tv? Would anything happen at all? I wonder......

These are some good "what if?" questions. I guess you could compare Montag's escape with what apparently happened to Clarisse....
