At the end of Part One, Montag pulls down about twenty books from the ventilator of his home. Mildred is initially terrified to learn that her husband has been hiding contraband books in their house and attempts to throw the novels into the incinerator. However, Montag stops Mildred and explains to her that they need to read the novels in order to figure out their lives. As the two sit in silence and read the novels, Montag walks throughout his home reading sentences over and over while Mildred continually glances at her blank parlor walls. Mildred then becomes frustrated and upset while they are reading. She kicks a book and begins to complain that "books aren't people." Mildred can only think about her "family" on the interactive televisions in the parlor and believes that reading is a waste of time. In contrast, Montag believes that reading books is well worth the challenge. He is in search of knowledge that might help him live a fulfilled life and believes that books might have important answers inside them. Montag is motivated to read and finds it necessary to look throughout the novels. Mildred fears that Beatty will find out they are reading and burn their home, but Montag thinks that reading is worth the risk.
