Fahrenheit 451 pp. 154-165

1. Ask a question

For has of right now i don't have to many questions how this quote is important..'And when they ask us what we are doing , you can say, We’re remembering..' in the book.

A. What does Granger mean when he says, quoting his grandfather, “Shake the tree and knock the great sloth down on his ass”? Why is this quote important? How does it fit into the novel, what is Bradbury trying to say with this?

I thought this quote was very true and inspiring because he said, a little before this, that the sloth just sleeps up in the tree missing the world around him not caring about anything but himself. And earlier he said that Granger said that his grandpa said to him to 'Live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds...' This is really important because everybody in the book are not living life the way it's suppose to be. It's been being lived by somebody else (Government). I'm not to sure on how it fits into the book at all. I'll get back to you on that. That's all.
