Chapter one of Fahrenheit 451 is about introducing Montag. Montag is a Firefighter but lives a pretty boring life. But then a girl named Clarisse McClellan moves next door. Clarisse is the opposite of Montag. She is adventuress and outgoing while Montag is the complete opposite.
Montag discovers that Millie turned in the fire alarm . While Beatty seems to regret what he must do to Montag, he taunts Montag in a mean-spirited way. He reminds Montag that he has given him many warnings about what could happen.
Finally, in his conversation with Montag, Beatty forces Montag to set fire to his own home. Little does he realize that Montag finds a certain perverse satisfaction in torching the interior of his home.
In the second chapter Clarisse has died in a automobile accident. Montag has been keeping books from burning buildings. During this chapter Montag reads the bible. He believes that if he can read it fast enough he will remember it. The sieve is another word for colander. He refers the the bible so if he can read the book fast enough maybe there will still be sand left in the sieve referring to passages from the book. Then they show up back at his house.
“No use getting the stomach if you don’t clean the blood. Leave that stuff in the blood and the blood hits the brain like a mallet, bang, a couple thousand times and the brain just gives up, just quits.”
"If I read it fast enough, maybe there will still be sand in the sieve."
"The shape exploded away. The eyes vanished. The leaf piles flew up in a dry shower."
