F 451 SUMMARY PART 1

Fahrenheit 451 takes place in the future where firemen burn down houses and people find it weird  take time to smell the flowers(metaphorically speaking) and reading books is illegal. Our main character is named Guy Montag who is a fireman that burns down houses with books in them. This future is a future that is dominated with technology and conformity as in  if you don't act a certain way you are labeled weird(Clarisse) or even get in trouble with the law.

First we learn that Montag is a fireman who burns down houses and one day he meets a girl named Clarisse who is an odd person(according to how people behave in this book) that changed his view of the wold and that if he was actually happy or not. We learn that his wife a woman that cares more about her televisions(screens) and seashells(earbuds) more than anthing else. Montag realizes that he is not happy and wants to be.

One day Montag goes on a burning mission to burn down a house and there is when he sees a woman that is in the house and instead of coming out and surrendering the woman desides to stay in and get killed with her books because she believes that life is not worth living if you are not free.

That's what I got so far
