1. Write a question about the reading. What are you confused about?
One thing I was confused about in the book was Mildred and her "family" and the whole parlor thing. Are they her real family? If so why does Guy question if they love her? I also wondered what was the "Denham" thing about?
2. How will books get us out of "the cave?" What is the cave and how will books get us out of it?
I think what Guy means is that they will be more educated and understand more about why books are illegal and why the government doesn't want people to think for themselves. The books will help Guy and Mildred be more educated so they can get out of "the cave" which I think is ignorance.
If you don't know what a sieve is you can look it up.
Sieve:
1. an instrument with a meshed or perforated bottom, used for separating coarse from fine parts of loose matter, for straining liquids, etc., esp. one with a circular frame and fine meshes or perforations.
2. a person who cannot keep a secret. –verb (used with object), verb (used without object)
3. to put or force through a sieve; sift.

Bianca,
In response to your question about Guy asking if her parlor family loves her and whether they are her real family: The way I understand it, her parlor family is this interactive machine that many people in their society own. The parlor is a room with three TV walls (although Mildred wishes they had a fourth). And I am pretty sure that the reason why Guy questions if they love is her because he is concerned that the only thing she cares about is this fake, TV family.
