4. Fahrenheit 451

 I personally really liked this book. There are so many messages that the author incorporated in the book that teaches the readers about. This book showed betrayal, and acceptance. It showed how fast someone can leave your life, and how fast someone can enter it. And it also taught us to be careful. We can believe in whatever we want to believe in. But we also have to keep in mind that what it is we believe in may not be accepted by our peers.  Fahrenheit 451  shows us that we do make a lot of mistakes and sometimes we don't think we can be forgiven for them. Towards the end of the book Montag is running away from the cops, because he had killed somebody. He runs into a group of people on the other side of the river. They accept him even though Montag doesn't think he deserves to be, and they tell him all of the mistakes they have made. "The right kind of mistakes" that brought them all to where they are now. Just how God forgives us for our sins, he teaches us to lea...

3. Fahrenheit 451

At the beginning of chapter 3, because of everything that is going on, it gives off a good message that you can't always trust everybody. When Montag, who is the main characters house was burning down, he found out his wife pulled the alarm. They figured out she told them about the books and burned his house down. Which then led to making Montag think it was just another job. After that Beatty betrayed him and made Montag think he was there to help. The author does a great job of giving the readers different messages that can happen in real life scenarios, that for example when you think something is fine, somebody you're close to might not and turn on you. just like what happened here.  After they had burned Montag's house down, that's when Beatty and faber started to lie to him. He burned Beatty to death. But he knew that you must remember, Burn them or they'll burn you. also showing you can't trust people because they can stab you in the back. He kept telling...

2. Fahrenheit 451

a question or a thought that comes to my mind when reading this book is what made the author want to write a book like this and what ideas came to mind that created this topic. Fahrenheit 451 is full of so many mysteries and adventure. it makes you think a little harder about what is going on and what is going to happen. what caught my eye was on page 79 Faber explains to Montag why books are hated. and for this certain book, books in this book are to be burned because people fear them. Faber states that they are feared because he says, "They show the pores in the face of life." what he says here is an example I like that shows you a different perspective on what is being explained.  The emotion in this book gives the book more imagery as well. on page 96 Mrs. Montag insisted that Guy read some of his book to their guests. he thought it was crazy but continued to go though with it. one of the parlor guests ended up balling their eyes out. they wondered why people would use su...
