Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury

During their meeting the men exchange two items: a smuggled Bible and a communication radio. These “gifts” are each significant for individual reasons, but both make great contributions to the preservation of books. The Bible’s importance is twofold: it may be one of the last few in existence, and Faber vows to preserve it by passing it along to a printer. The offer of the radio, a small, green object “no larger than a .22 bullet” (86), is to guide Montag as he begins to spark a mental revolution.

In the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Guy Montag is living in a dystopian world where books are not allowed. Guy Montag’s job is a firefighter and in which their world they burn books.

Guy Montag, on the other hand, is a fireman who starts fires, rather than stops them, in order to burn books, which are banned. Anyone caught with books are reported and their house and sometimes the people themselves are burned to the ground. People in his society don’t read books, enjoy nature, spend time by themselves, think independently, or have meaningful conversations. Guy is struggling with the meaninglessness of his life. His wife doesn’t seem to care and when he meets a seventeen year old girl named, Clarisse McClellan it opens up his eyes to the emptiness in his life. After this Montag becomes overwhelmed because of the stash of books in his house that he stole while on the job.

Writing this novel Bradbury has let other readers feel close to him allowing them to feel like they can relate to him through his stories as well as Montag.

Although many complaints were turned in, the report that montag’s wife Millie sent was the one that caused the fire department to take action. In this passage, Beatty explains that he intends to murder Guy by burning him. He also believes that if he burns Montag he won't have to deal with the repercussions of murdering him, and it will be assumed that he burned with his books. If this conflict hadn’t happened, Montag would have stayed in the city to die when it was bombed. He also would have never been able to share the messages that he had learned from reading books as well as he would have outside the city. In closing, the central conflict in this book saved the main character's life and helped set him up to help fix
