1. Mildred says these words to Guy Montag. She tells him that books aren’t people which are found in her TV parlor which she enjoys being with. She calls the people on the TV her family. She compares the books to her TV. She says that the people on the TV tell her things and make her laugh and they are full of colors, whereas the books are black and white and don’t make sense to anybody and doesn’t make her laugh instead makes her feel bad.

3. The narrator, Ray Bradbury is saying these words with the use Alliteration, which is the repetition of sounds, in this case the D’s. He also uses simile “It hissed like a snake.” This is used to show Montag’s confusion and emptiness. The voices of the commercial distracted Montag from learning the verses from the Bible, just like the devil stopping the man from doing good deeds.
