In the book “Fahrenheit 421” by Ray Bradbury it is about a firefighter who was curious about books. But in this book, the only reason why he was curious was because these book were illegal in the city and it was the firefighters job to burn them and the houses that held them. The main character Montag went on adventures just to figure out more about them, he went as far as going to a professor. But somehow the fire chief got called and they sent people to burn Montag's house, but Montag had no…

To be a good book for me to read, it has to be interesting to me. Fahrenheit 451 was no a interesting book to me. The lesson of the book is important. When it was written the only way to get information was to read books. They were only burning books to get rid of information. The main character, Montag goes through many changes during the story. He was the person that got taught the lesson to give information. Montag was a third generation fireman who burned books in the future. His biggest…

The first reason page 133 is one of the most important pages in the book is that it furthers the plot by including important plot points. The first important plot point shown is when the narrator says “They were gone. The Hound was gone” (Bradbury 133). This shows Montag escaping the hound and his other pursuers. If he was to be captured, he would have been most likely to be killed then and there, and that would have been an abrupt ending to the story. Montag escaping the Hound furthers the plot…

Imagine, that the future of all books are banned and censored to keep human race from thinking in their own ways. In Ray Bradbury “Fahrenheit 451”, the author uses fire, water, and the Phoenix to as symbols to describe the great importance in Montag's society. Bradbury first portrays fire as a destructive force, starting the novel with Montag burning books. With the brainwashed mind in society, “it was [Montag’s] pleasure to burn” (Bradbury 1). In his description of the…

Fahrenheit 451 is a story of the man Guy Montag and his journey through knowledge and change in an anti-intellectual world. In this society, books are outlawed. Montag is a long-time firefighter, but a firefighter in our society is not the same as the one in author Ray Bradbury’s society. A firefighter’s purpose here is to seek out books and burn them. In the beginning Montag seems deeply invested in his job, finding bliss in burning the books of others. However throughout the story we see him…

Montag wants to look at the books before they burn the house and the books that is contains. “We can’t do anything. We can’t burn these. I want to look at them, at least look at them once. “ The orders that the Government gives to the fireman are rules that they follow very closely. The citizens aren't allowed to read the books because the government doesn't want the citizens to retain the information that the books possess. Montag believes that the government cannot control the…

8. I think that before Clarisse asked Montag if he really loved Mildred, he thought he did. I feel that they both thought they loved each other because they had been together for so long and did not truly know anything else. Then when Clarisse asked Montag, it made him take a step back and truly look at his feelings and he realized that he truly did not love her. I do believe though that they cared about each other, well until she turned him in. 4. In my opinion, I do think that happiness is a…

Personal experience can cause a person to gain more strength and grow as an individual. In Fahrenheit 451, Montag shows growth and strength internally and externally throughout the book based on his experience and events that took place. Becoming aware is apart of growing and having strength because it could be hard to accept reality. Montag has shown his growth by becoming aware of the world he lives in where books have been labeled as dangerous, but this is not true. According to…

After seeing Clarisse more often, she grows on him and changes Montag's way of thinking. His mind so overrun with the idea that the world is not the way it should be, that while working he watches a woman burn to death with her books and decides to take one home with him, which is illegal of course. This is a huge turning point for Montag, he finally lets his curiosity get the best of him. He then pretends to be sick for the next few days so he won't have to face the firemen and his boss,…
