I believe that Bradbury made Montag read "Dover Beach" to the women in the parlor in order to bring out the part of them that actually cares about important things. He wanted to show them that books can bring out emotions. I would have read this poem to the women in the parlor:
Watch
By Frank Outlaw
Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.
I chose this poem because it would make them realize that everything they do in life effects their destiny. It would make them think about all the life mistakes they had made.
