Montag in Bradburys Fahrenheit 451 :: Ray Bradburys Fahrenheit 451

What would our world be similar if no one was different or if no one stood out against the crowd? What would we all be uniform? In Ray Bradburys Fahrenheit 451, Guy Montag is a fireman who sets houses on fire along with the books inside them because some people didnt like the message the books had and didnt like what they said. Montag thinks his life is going great until he meets a brave young girl with a purpose named Clarisse, who makes Montag rethink his empty life. He turns against his oppressive regimen and ultimately escapes the city to join a resistance group, dedicated to memorizing books in hopes of preserving civilization. Bradbury conveys to readers a message relevant even today every individual must(prenominal) stand up for their beliefs even when everyone is against them and not be afraid to point authority. In this society people don?t ask questions or question the government, everyone just assumes that we understand and that everything is ok. Before we kn ow it the government has taken over, making new laws to what we fag and can?t do. When they put ratings on movies, like Pg-13 and we can?t see them unless we?re 13. Too many people aren?t questioning our political leaders so all the position stays with them and the power is drained away from the people.The first time that Montag realizes that burning books is wrong is Clarisse asks Montag ?Are you happy That is just what starts the escalade to the bigger problem. When Montag and his colleagues went to burn a house they turn over to have books in the attic. When Montag was in the attic setting the book on fire he found one that he thought has interesting, so he hid it in his jacket and went on with his work. The women?s house is burnt to the ground and instead of getting out of the house she wants to stay with her books. She stands up for what she believes in. That was it for Montag, he knew that on that point must be something about these books that would make someone want to di e with their book and he intends to find out.By standing up, Montag hopes that people will adopt to think for themselves and not just do what everyone else wants them to do. Montag doesn?t want everyone to just solely listen to Beatty and the government.
