Alcohol

Alcohol solves everything! I can't believe that Montag knew how to throw off the scent of the hound. When we were sitting class I asked someone not to mention names Nathan Knodel, why they drank the alcohol and this person told me they did it because they were probably going to die. Well later in the book in the river scene when Montag put the alcohol on himself, the booze that he took from Fabers house. I knew right then that he was doing it to throw off the hound. It is a quite ingenious idea if you think about it. The hound is a machine and does have flaws because it was made by a human that makes mistakes. So the fact that Montag thought of that was really cool and made me think about how efficient the government actually was because they didn’t read either so the people that do read have an advantage over them. KNOWLEDGE! If the government and firefighters don’t read then they are probably not going to be smart. The people that do read have that edge over them. They could get more people to read by outsmarting them and then soon everyone would realize what a horrible place they live. Then they would revolt. Finally they could have a revolution and change their horrible way of life and government.
