MY F451

No one thinks for themselves. No one loves, or has feelings for others. Fireman start fires instead of putting them out, books are illegal to read and you will be arrested or burned if you are caught with them. Women dont want children, everyone hates kids and the only reason they have them is to keep the population up. in F451 Montag is just a normal fireman starting fires, and busting people who own books. Until one day he met a girl, named Clarisse. She made him think. She started his whole rebellion. Montag started taking books home to read for himself, secretly of course. Montag wanted to learn more about books, and more about the past with them, and he wanted to understand them better. He remembered a man he met a long time ago at a park, Faber, he remembered he was jumpy and had a book. Montag and Faber reconnected and Faber helped him understand books more. Until one day Montags boss, Beaty, Found out about him Ihiding books. Beaty understood where he was coming from having books, because every fireman did the same thing at least once in his career. Montag didnt stop. The Mechanical hound was always suspicious about Montag, it was like he could smell the books on him. Montag was always nervous that the mechanical hound was going to catch him, and kill him. Montag had a breakdown while his wifes ,Mildred, friends were over. Montag started yelling at them, reading poetry at them, one women was so touched and horrified of the poem that she burst into tears and ran out of the parlor. This set off everything. Montag went back to work only to get a call to burn a house. it was his home. His wife called it in when she found all of his books. Montag burned his own home. Along with his boss Beaty who found out he was talking to Faber with an ear piece. Montag ran off and went to find Faber. He met Faber at his house and took clothes and alcohol. When Montag left he was able to throw off the mechanical hound and made it to the abandoned railroad tracks, where a bunch of professors lived homeless. Montag learned from them that he doesnt need to keep books with him, that he can read them once, and he can memorize it. Granger was one of the old professors. He saw in the fire a phoenix, which is like a symbol for rebirth. Its a sign that the books will have another chance to be reborn. That in the future they will come back. The city was bombed because it was during a war, everyone montag ever knew was dead.
