Mentor Text:

"An hour of TV class, an hour of basketball or baseball or running, another hour of transcription
history or painting pictures, and more sports, but do you know, we never ask questions, or at least most don't; they just run the answers at you, bing, bing, bing, and us sitting there for four more hours of film teacher. That's not social to me at all. It's a lot of funnels and a lot of water poured down the spout and out the bottom, and them telling us it's wine when it's not."

- Ray Bradbury; Fahrenheit 451
