Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451:The Sieve and the Sand

72: Montag betrays his claims of love for Mildred as he says, "She (Clarisse) was the first person in a good many years I've really liked." Again, the dialogue is far too British, but it's still a good inclusion by Bradbury.
73: I wish Bradbury wouldn't put the quotes around family when the word is spoken by Mildred. I think that it takes away from the overall effect of portraying Mildred's mindset.
74: Mildred is an unbelievable character. She goes from panic over the possesion of books to laughter with a friend about a television show without missing a beat.
75: Here Bradbury chooses to describe a conversation rather than recount it with dialogue. In my opinion (an opinion I believe is shared with many-- even most-- of the masters of the craft, including On Writing author Stephen King), dialogue will always be more effective than a narrated conversation.
79: Bradbury here gives an effective portrait of Montag's current state of mind.
85: "...when you've nothing to lose, you run any risk you want." It's a very quotable line, and Bradbury even throws in humor by having Montag and Faber talking about the line's quotability.
