Fahrenheit_451

Fahrenheit 451 The book entitled “Fahrenheit 451” was written by Ray Bradbury in 1953, to reincarnate the idea of fire men burning books in a futuristic society populated by non-readers and non-thinkers that he originally came up with in his previous work “The Fire Man.” Set in the 24th century, “Fahrenheit 451” tells the story of a man named Guy Montag who, at the beginning of the story, is content with his job as a “fire man.” In actuality of course, he is one of the men who burns houses and the books that occupy them. Shortly thereafter, however, Guy begins to develop a friendship with his 16 year-old neighbor Clarisse McClellan. She has such an outlook on human life as it is, and is so inquisitive, that Guy begins to examine himself. He realizes that he is unhappy in his marriage to his wife, Millie. He begins to wonder why books have been banned. Later, while at the scene of a book collection he is to burn, Guy steals a book for his personal use. The next day, Guy is visited by his boss, Captain Beatty. Beatty hints that he, somehow, knows that Montag is in possession of a book and lectures books, montag, guy, one, clarisse, bradbury, book, society, men, man, human, fire, even, beatty, world, next, never, mechanical, job, hound, himself, flame-thrower, find, faber, burn, begins, after, about, young, yet, written, two, true, traits, track, thoughts
