Pages 90-100
Faber gives Montag an earpiece similar to the ones Guy's wife uses uses but this one is way for the two to communicate from different locations.
When Montag goes home Mildred's friends come over and they go into the TV parlor. Montag follows and stands by the door before switching off the TV walls. The women become nervous by this action and start to fidget around. Montag starts a conversation and we see the vies of these women on children, which many do not want but the one woman with children only sees them three days a month. When they discuss politics it all about the appearance of the president that concerned the women and swayed their votes. Montag found this ridiculous and started yelling at Fable through the earpieces and grabs a book. Mildred tried to play it as a joke and has Montag read a poem to the women.
The importance of this is that no one cares about the intelligence of the president just his looks, outside features that should be meaningless. That no one really cares about how the person governs as long as someone visually pleasing is there to tell them what to do.

figurative language:
"The images drained away, as if the water had been let from a gigantic crystal bowl of hysterical fish."
