As Montag makes his escape from his entertainment and technology obsessed society,
he reflects on how he feels as if he has "left a
stage behind and many actors," as well as those
who "ate shadows for breakfast and steam for
lunch and vapors for supper.” Based on these
LDs, what is Montag pinpointing as a main issue
in his society? How does it relate to their
constant entertainment watching / technology
use? Next, think about our world: Is there a
similar issue in our society? Do we consume and
nourish ourselves with "steam, vapor and
shadows"? How might this impact our wellbeing
and our society?
