Fahrenheit 451

Fireman. They save lives, save houses, and put fires out for the good, but, according to Fahrenheit 451 it's not about saving lives. It's about restricting them. Fireman in this book burn books and the only way to have a book you love or hold onto is the memorys, plots and characters of this book. The main concept of this book is taking place in 1999 and it is a prediction on how 1999 was looked at in 1920. Some of the "futuristic" things that were thought of back then we actually have now and it is a cool thing to see.

Currently in the book we have been introduced to our main characters. Clarisse McClellan is a major one, she questions the job of fireman, she also questions how people live and why things the way they are. Clarisse lives with her Uncle, Mom and Dad who call her a crazy 17 year old. Guy Montag is another main character. This book is based around his life as a fireman. He is a younger man 30-40's and he lived his life filled before he met Clarisse, she began questioning his ways, and if he was happy being who he was. Mildred has popped up in the book on ocasion, she is also Montag's wife.

In the book we haven't got very far, we have hit some  obsticles of what we have read. Mildred, overdosed on pills and had to get her stomach pumped at the hospital. She doesn't remember anything that has happened the night before when she did overdose. Montag met Clarisse walking home from work and instantly became friends and neighbors.

So far, I think that this book is very interessting. There may be some parts that are hard to understand but at the same time they make perfect sence. I get a message that ever since Montag and Clarisse have met he is beginning to question his life and doesn't know if he truly is happy with himself, his wife, career and many more things that have yet to be revealed.
