How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
"You want to see the real Happiness Machine? The one they patented a couple thousand years ago, it still runs, not good, all the time, no! but it runs. It's been here all along." (13.129)
Do you think Leo and his family are ultimately happier than they were before the whole Happiness Machine debacle because they learned to appreciate what they've had all along?
Quote #2
These great wire wands were handed around so they stood, Douglas, Tom, Grandma, Great-grandma, and mother poised like a collection of witches and familiars over the dusty patterns of old Armenia. (14.1)
Question: Do you think this passage implies that Doug and his family are Armenian? Why or why not?
Quote #3
"You may be my brother and maybe I hate you sometimes, but stick around, all right?" (22.3)
Think about Bradbury's use of words here: Instead of the more obvious I may hate you sometimes, he says, "maybe I hate you sometimes." There's less commitment in the phrasing Bradbury uses, more reservation about these harder feelings.
