Fahrenheit 451. A story of the future. A story with no past and a story ended with only the people who new the past. Ironic. Thats is was I see in this book. There is so much irony. In the way Beatty dies, in the way Montag lives, in the way the technology kills the people so attached to it. I really enjoyed this book. I liked the author, and his sense of being, I liked the story line and I liked the characters. People like Faber and Classise really stuck out. They were different and that is what made them interesting. Faber was shy, and a bit of a coward. He found protection in his inventions and his home, but when faced with a real problem, he was excited and "living." Clarisse lived her life. I see her as the "angle." She was neither good (following the status quo), nor bad (breaking the law). She was the middle or the center point. These characters where ones who helped shape the book, its conflicts and resolutions. Along with other characters, these two were easliy understood.
One thing I did not like in the book was the ending. I feel I was unable to comprehend what is was saying and then all of a sudden BOOM!! The city is bombed? I am not sure if it was really important and I don't get some things or if i didn't really miss much. I know that the city is blown-up and they are going back but I got really confused when, well I don't know what he was saying but when the world started to jumble together and it was about some stuff. Wow. I feel kinda stupid. Oh well. ok. alright. I don't have anything else to say so good night? Ya k.
-Cool Beans:) Ya
I think city was bound to get bombed. Everybody in it was so obsessed with the technology that they were oblivious to everything and probably didn't know anything outside of the city. When the city got bombed, it was probably forgotten right after it happened.
