Answer 1

This is too much to ask of this forum. You need to read the book and decide these things for yourself -- that's the whole point of the assignment. Then, if you're really stuck on a few of these, ask the group about that.

Don't be lazy in school. It won't serve you well in life as an adult. Don't be afraid to think, and think hard.

Answer 3

These look like homework questions. Have you read the book? You can also do a "Google" search on Fahrenheit 451. You may be able to find some of your answers that way.

Also- after reading the book, check out a copy of "Cliffs Notes" from the library on Fahrenheit 451, or buy your own copy from a bookstore.

I agree with one of the responders, 40 questions is way too many to ask on the forum. You should work on as many as you can.
You will get more out of it, if you do.
