On page 59 Fahrenheit 451 Captin Beatty says to Montag, "School is shortened, discipline relaxed, philosophies, histories, languages dropped, English and spelling almost completely ignored"(59). The Author is trying to convey that if we don't do something about how they teach now the society could end up the the one in Fahrenheit 451.
On page 58 beatty says, "Classics cut into fifteen-minute radio shows, then cut again to fill a two-minute book column, winding u at last as a ten- or twelve-line dictionary resume. I exaggerate, of course"(58). The Author is trying to explain to the reader that the way we do things now are complelty diffrent then how we do things today and if we continue this what Beatty is telling Montag will become true.
