Fahrenheit 452 Montag woke up suddenly by a bright flashing light and a loud clap of thunder, he jerked up from his bed. As Montag tries to fall back asleep, he remembers his horrible past. Bolting through the towering forest with cuts and bruises, weak legs, giving it everything he's got to stay alive. Montag was shaken to hear a noise in the leaves after dusk in the forest but soon finds out its one of his friends from the intellectual group, Thomas. ¨Montag, long time no see.¨ exclaimed Thomas. ¨How long did it take for the firemen to stop chasing you?¨ Montag questioned. ¨I don't really remember. Everything is still just a blur, but do your think they will ever find us.¨ Thomas said scarcely. Montag then assured Thomas that they …show more content…
would be okay and told him that they should probably go try to find some food. Montag fell back into a deep sleep eventually, after the flashbacks stopped.
Then he woke up by the irritating sound of his alarm, he remembered everything he was thinking about last night and realized that he's come really far in the past two years. Montag rolled out of bed and went to put some bread in the toaster and sat on the couch next to Thomas. ¨Good morning, I made some eggs and put them in the stove if you want some.¨ Thomas said. ¨No thanks, I have to get to work on time today,¨ said Montag As Montag grabs his toast, he scrambles out of the apartment. He steps on the creaky elevator as it brings him down 8 floors. When Montag steps out of the rusty worn down elevator he strolls to his job, next door. ¨Good morning Charles!¨ Montag's boss exclaimed. Montag replied with a short good morning back. Montag sat in his desk and gazed at a picture of himself and Mildred. He sat in his desk knowing he will most likely never see his wife ever again. Montag swiftly opened his computer and looked up his new identity. His pale fingers typed, Charles David Johnson. He pushed the enter key, frightened to look he closed the laptop rapidly. In a couple of hours Montag asked to go home because they weren't getting good business. His boss agreed and Montag …show more content…
left. As Montag twisted his key into the lock, he heard a loud thud. He gradually turned his head and gasped in excitement. ¨How did you know where to find me?¨ Montag hollered. Clarisse stood and gazed at the gloomy apartment hallway.
She made eye contact with Montag and gave him a sad glare. Clarisse then smirked and said, ¨I have my ways.¨ ¨You can come in if you want,¨ Montag offered as he gestured to the door. ¨I´d love to,¨ she replied. The three of them sat on the couch and talked about how they've all been for the past couple of years. In the middle of Thomas´s story, someone aggressively knocked on the door. ¨I'll get it,¨ Montag claimed. He slowly opened the door and was astonished to see Beatty and Mildred standing in the doorway. ¨I killed you two years ago!¨ Montag screamed. ¨The snake saved me just like it saved your wife when you weren't there for her.¨ Beatty yelled back. ¨How do you even know about that?¨ Montag asked in rage. Beatty responded with, ¨I know a lot of things just like I know you still have books, Charles. This time you're the one going down with a flame thrower.¨ As Beatty reached for his flame thrower, Mildred handed it to him. In that split second Clarisse pulls out her flame thrower and aims straight for Beatty. Before Beatty could fire at Montag, Beatty was on the ground dead. Mildred dropped to the floor and started
sobbing. Montag invites Mildred in and he comforts her. Mildred starts to remember all the memories of her and Montag and she apologizes for everything. Mildred confesses her love for Montag and they decide to move in together. Thomas and Clarisse start to build feelings for each other because they are living in the same house. They both think it's best if each couple get their own apartment. ¨I read this really good book and I think you would really like it, so do you think you could try to read it?¨ Montag asked. ¨I will definitely try but you have to promise to help me understand it,¨ Mildred uttered. ¨I promise.¨

Are you really happy? Or are you sad about something? Sad about life or money, or your job? Any of these things you can be sad of. Most likely you feel discontentment a few times a day and you still call yourself happy. These are the questions that Guy Montag asks himself in the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. In this book people are thinking they are happy with their lives. This is only because life is going so fast that they think they are but really there is things to be sad about. Montag has finally met Clarisse, the one person in his society that stops to smell the roses still. She is the one that gets him thinking about how his life really is sad and he was just moving too fast to see it. He realizes that he is sad about pretty much everything in his life and that the government tries to trick the people by listening to the parlor and the seashells. This is just to distract people from actual emotions. People are always in a hurry. They have 200 foot billboards for people driving because they are driving so fast that they need more time to see the advertisement. Now I am going to show you who are happy and not happy in the book and how our society today is also unhappy.
In Federalist 10 James Madison argued that while factions are inevitable, they might have interests adverse to the rights of other citizens. Madison’s solution was the implementation of a Democratic form of government. He felt that majority rule would not eliminate factions, but it would not allow them to be as powerful as they were. With majority rule this would force all parties affiliate and all social classes from the rich white to the poor minorities to work together and for everyone’s opinion and views to be heard.
To start, the novel Fahrenheit 451 describes the fictional futuristic world in which our main protagonist Guy Montag resides. Montag is a fireman, but not your typical fireman. In fact, firemen we see in our society are the ones, who risk their lives trying to extinguish fires; however, in the novel firemen are not such individuals, what our society think of firemen is unheard of by the citizens of this futuristic American country. Instead firemen burn books. They erase knowledge. They obliterate the books of thinkers, dreamers, and storytellers. They destroy books that often describe the deepest thoughts, ideas, and feelings. Great works such as Shakespeare and Plato, for example, are illegal and firemen work to eradicate them. In the society where Guy Montag lives, knowledge is erased and replaced with ignorance. This society also resembles our world, a world where ignorance is promoted, and should not be replacing knowledge. This novel was written by Ray Bradbury, He wrote other novels such as the Martian chronicles, the illustrated man, Dandelion wine, and something wicked this way comes, as well as hundreds of short stories, he also wrote for the theater, cinema, and TV. In this essay three arguments will be made to prove this point. First the government use firemen to get rid of books because they are afraid people will rebel, they use preventative measures like censorship to hide from the public the truth, the government promotes ignorance to make it easier for them to control their citizens. Because the government makes books illegal, they make people suppress feelings and also makes them miserable without them knowing.
The North Korean government is known as authoritarian socialist; one-man dictatorship. North Korea could be considered a start of a dystopia. Dystopia is a community or society where people are unhappy and usually not treated fairly. This relates how Ray Bradbury's 1953 novel Fahrenheit 451 shows the readers how a lost of connections with people and think for themselves can lead to a corrupt and violent society known as a dystopia.
Fahrenheit 451’s Relevance to Today Fahrenheit 451’s relevance to today can be very detailed and prophetic when we take a deep look into our American society. Although we are not living in a communist setting with extreme war waging on, we have gained technologies similar to the ones Bradbury spoke of in Fahrenheit 451 and a stubborn civilization that holds an absence of the little things we should enjoy. Bradbury sees the future of America as a dystopia, yet we still hold problematic issues without the title of disaster, as it is well hidden under our democracy today. Fahrenheit 451 is much like our world today, which includes television, the loss of free speech, and the loss of the education and use of books. Patai explains that Bradbury saw that people would soon be controlled by the television and saw it as the creators chance to “replace lived experience” (Patai 2).
Then four days passed where Montag did not see Clarisse, so he began to wonder where she could have possibly gone. Eventually, Montag’s wife Mildred says, “‘No, the same girl. McClellan. Run over by a car. Four days ago.
with fresh blood. Montag goes outside and listens to the laughter and the voices coming from the McClellan house. Montag goes in again and considers all that has happened to him that night and feels terribly disoriented as he takes a sleep lozenge and dozes off.
What does Montag think of his feelings would be if his wife dies? Montag began to think about how him and Mildred’s marriage started, which both of them don’t remember. His thoughts were, “he remembered thinking then that if she died, he was certain he wouldn't cry. For it would be the dying of an unknown, a street face, a newspaper image, and it was suddenly so very wrong that he had begun to cry, not at death but at the thought of not crying at death, a silly empty man near a silly empty woman, while the hungry snake made her still more empty.”(Page 41), which means Montag won’t be sad about the fact Mildred has died but the fact he doesn’t feel anything but empty and how the society made him deprived in emotions.
Montag gives Captain Beatty a book and is welcomed back to work while he tells montage “ Contradictory passages” to show him books are useless, While all of a sudden the alarm goes and the fireman rush of to the alarm, Montag's house!
