Summary:
The small metal object that is no larger than a 22 bullet was given to Montag it is a two way receiver for communication. It is used so that Faber can tell Montag what to say and do in certain situations; also can be used to tell Montag bedtime stories. When Ms. Phillips, Amy, and Mildred are talking in the parlor they mentioned the war and how it should be quick at least that is what the Army says.Ms. Phillips said she's had three marriages and no longer feels love for her third husband. As shown in this quote "If I get killed off, you just go right ahead and don't cry, but get married again, and don't think of me." Children only are home nine out of ten days. The rest of the time they are in school. Eventually Montag pulls out a book of poetry to scare the three women talking in the parlor. Faber tries to convince Montag to play off the incident as a joke and put the book in the incinerator. But Mildred says that Fireman are allowed to bring one book home to family and friends to show them how silly they are. Mrs. Bowles wants to prove the poetry that Montag read has caused everyone great sadness.
Symbol:
The Queen Bee is a symbol of Faber's cowardliness of leaving the safety of his own home. Montag, as a Drone Bee, is acting as Faber's ears and a link to the outside world and his insight into the Firehouse.
Simile:
Mildred to being compared to a fleeing Native from the eruption of Vesuvius. This shows how fast Mildred ran from the parlor.
Allusion:
Mathew Arnold is the author, of Dover Beach. It is a poem of sadness that effects Ms. Phillips causing her to break down in tears. But she does not know why she started crying.
