Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

The book Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is about a fireman named Montag. Montag changed his whole life around because of books. This book is taking place in a dystopian society where nobody reads books everyone is watching TV which is there ‘family’. Firemen burn down houses, in school you don’t really learn if you do its not valuable learning. If you do have books and the firemen find out you will die and destroy the book. This book is about the fireman Montag who starts reading books and sees

peril, and chaos. However, in the futuristic novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Fire symbolizes much more than just danger and destruction. Guy Montag, a firefighter who lights fires instead of putting them out, lives in a society that seems to revolve around destruction and the glory that burning certain objects brings them. Bradbury uses fire to symbolize the destructive way that the futuristic society functions. Not only does Bradbury use the symbol of fire to describe the society as a whole

Chaos can turn into flames. Flames can lead into death and a lot more problems. Flames will cause a lot of body injuries. No one will want to see how it feels to be burnt or have a lot of different kinds of burns on them that will be a terrible feeling. Montag had a high internal of control, Montag is a person who only listens to himself and not everyone around him and not no one else. He is a self-person. Montag doesn’t think straight before making his first move. “NO,” Montag

Montag has 451 engraved on his helmet because is a fireman so that is ID number. 451 also is the temperature at which paper burns. 4. When Montag met Clarisse, he had a different look on life. Before he met her, he did not realize all that was going on in the world and after he begins to question

symbolizes destruction and death, yet to others it can symbolize passion, knowledge and comfort. Ray Bradbury successfully portrays the ambiguity of fire’s symbolism in Fahrenheit 451, as Montag’s mental transformation and relationship to society changes his understanding of fire; believing first that fire is simply a destructive force, to slowly understanding the comforting and unifying nature of fire. Bradbury first portrays fire as a destructive force, starting his novel with Montag burning books. With

and they help. Why is it important because it dealing with some part of the society and we need to get along and help out each other because as one person we can’t do it as one human being we need to do as a group and don’t fight one another. Mr. Bradbury uses a lot of repetition in which at time I can’t understand or depict on what it’s trying to say. “Fool Montage, fool, fool, oh good you

Fahrenheit 451- Lit. Critique The title of the book I read was Fahrenheit 451. The book was written by Ray Bradbury and was published in 1951.

The main character whose name is Guy Montag is a fireman who begins to realize that what he’s doing is wrong after meeting a young girl named Clarisse. As the book goes on it is revealed

the question “Are you happy” Montag’s Smile melts and, in essence, this serves as the start of Montag’s evolution. (4). Montag’s first encounter with Clarisse is described with a heavy amount of imaginary, particularly nature related imaginary. Ray Bradbury says “The autumn leaves blew over the moonlit pavement... letting the motion of the wind and the leaves

escape if everyone in the next minute looks from his house. Ready!’ (Bradbury 131-132). This is an example of how keeping the knowledge of society’s people limited helps people in power. People in power can order people what to do, and like zombies, these people follow along. From this excerpt of

Montag is happy with his job until Clarisse McClellanshows him why books are good. In Farenheit 451 (Ballantine Books, 1953), by Ray Bradbury, Bradbury uses the irony of people’s changing opinions to show Montag’s view on books. Montag realizes books are good and full of knowledge when Clarisse saves books from burning. “There must be something in books, something
