In the adaptation of the novel Fahrenheit 451, very specific actors and celebrities were chosen to play the lead roles in the movie. The producers chose James Harden of the Houston Rockets to play Guy Montag for many reasons. James, like Montag, went from just contributing in his society and going along with what other people said and being a small role, to breaking out and being a greater role and an influence. Once James Harden left the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he was suppressed by Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, he left and joined the Rockets and became a superstar and someone who mattered in the NBA.

There were two events that changed Montag’s point of view on books. Montag was assigned to burn down a house, in that house was a woman, and that woman refused to leave the house along with the books in it.

One pathos of countless generated in Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 was when Montag begins to question as well as truly notice his life for what it is after talking with Clarisse about topics he never unquestionably talks about. After he is asked about his happiness, Montag begins to evaluate more deeply what is going on in his life and tries to find a fitting answer to this small innocent question. “He felt his smile slide away, melt, fold over and down on itself like a tallow skin, like the stuff of a fantastic candle bring too long and now collapsing and now blown over… He was not happy…” (Bradbury 9). Montag tried quietly laughing the question off by saying he was a happy man, but as he walked into the dark bedroom the mask he portrays as happiness
In society, some people have conflicts with things and people around them. In Fahrenheit 451, the main character, Montag, has to burn books for a living. Montag’s life began to change when he has a decision to steal, hide, and read the books, or turn the books in and act like everyone else.

In Ray Bradbury’s dystopian novel, Fahrenheit 451, he leads his readers to explore the theme that, being blinded by distractions, can lead to having no awareness of a person’s surroundings. An important part of Bradburry’s Fahrenheit 451 is the change in the central character, Guy Montag, who transforms from a duty-bound fireman, who burns books, to an intellectual revolutionary. This path to intellectual revolution progresses until the end of the story through his interactions with other characters and events that shape his point of view.

Clarisse McClellan is the most significant character in the novel Fahrenheit 451. Clarisse plays a huge role in the storyline as she is the reason of Montag’s metamorphosis.

One thing missing from Guy’s society is having the freedom to make there own choices. Montag feels like it wasn’t his decision to become a fireman.

Granger builds on what Montag has already learned from others, and prepares Montag for the role he will be playing in society.

In the world he lives in people are very isolated, unaware, and not thoughtful. In the book his job is being a firefighter but there's a little twist to this. Montag truly is a hero in the book fahrenheit 451 he acted like one by the society and people guide him and how he takes action into things he believes and sees he can change, and make better for the society.
Fahrenheit 451 Do books really harm the world or does the government dislike the idea of society turning knowledge into power? Montag was a heroic character, he did what he thought was best, despite what the laws said. Montag went against the law and sought knowledge. Despite his flaws, Montag can be considered a heroic figure.
Alliances and politics had also gotten in the way and caused problems that would soon bubble over and cause world war 1 to go into effect. Germany had made alliances with Austria/Hungary and Italy. But Italy had gone behind Germany’s back and made a secret alliance with France despite the agreement with Germany saying they’d protect each other if France ever came after them in a rage of war. France in response to Germany’s new alliances joined up with Russia and formed an alliance. Following the Russia/France alliance in 1892 was when France signed an agreement with Britain in 1904.
