She was a very small woman, never having the curves other women had. Her name was Jhona. She was a fire mage. Although not a very good one. "It will be alright dear. You will pull through." Another person told the woman. This one was a young man, a few years older than the woman. He had black hair, a rather average build, and was rather…

writing’s purpose. In Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 several of these forces drive Montag from a pyromaniac fireman to a man burning in the knowledge of literature. This change can be attributed to two characters, the girl next door named Clarisse McClellan, and Montag’s mentor,…
