Answer 2

i have read Fahrenheit 451 and i have to say that it is definitely one of my favorites. Yes, its comfusing for a bit but everything just sort of falls into place. Although i can't answer your questions cuz i haven't read the book in about two years, i would have to advise you to read the book. I don't think you will regret it.

Answer 3

i suggest you do the work yourself and if you need help, use sparknotes or talk to your teacher!! and i know you've heard it a thousand times but if you don't do it yourself, you will never learn!!
