Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury

Imagine a world with no books, no phones, no laptops, nothing that involves reading. Guy Montag, a 30-year old who has been a fireman since he was 20 decided that one day he wanted to read a book instead of burning it. In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, a community is slowly stripped down to people who do not care what happens to them or to others. When books and everything that involve reading are taken away from Montag's society, they slowly lose emotion with the world and become careless about everything, even life itself.
One evening after Montage arrived home, he had one question on his mind-- is he happy? As he thought to himself, he was not happy. He wore his happiness like a mask. Him and Mildred have nothing in common and are no longer

He flipped the switch on the flame thrower, pointed at Beatty's head, and listened to Beatty vaguely convince him not to shoot him but Montag wasn't listening and he pulled the trigger. He set fire to Beatty's face and burnt him to death. After that, the only thing going through Montag's mind was that Beatty wanted to die. The exact thought going through his head was ¨Beatty wanted to die. In the middle of crying, Montag knew it for the truth. Beatty wanted to die. He just stood there, not really trying to save himself, just stood there,joking,needling,thought Montag….How strange, strange, to want to die...¨ (Bradbury 116).
