Fahrenheit51 4 5 (Click to select text)
Fahrenheit 451 is a futuristic story which is set in a society that does not believe in individualism. In fact, it discourages individualism. In this society, all printed materials are banned. Books and reading materials are banned because city officials believe that reading allows you to think on your own and they discourage individualism. This society had a box, sort of like a mailbox, which stood outside of the firemen's station. If someone suspected or had seen someone else with a book, that person took identification of the person with the book(s) and left it inside the box. Then the firemen, completely different from our firemen, went out to that person's house and burned all of the books that he/she had. Guy Montag, who is the main character in this story, is a fireman. On his way home from work, Montag meets a young lady, Clarisse, who is very much like his wife. Clarisse then starts asking a lot of questions about why they burn books and why books are banned. Clarisse then says that it is possible that back before they were born, firemen used to put out fires. Montag thinks about what she says that day. He then begins reading books while his wife is sleeping. Then, everything develops from there. In conclusion, this is basically a story of a person who thinks that something is wrong but after that person actually tries it, it doesn't seem so bad. That person is Guy Montag. And what he thought was bad was reading yet he ended up liking it.
