    Captain Beatty- Beatty is full of contradictions. He is a book burner with a vast knowledge of literature, someone who obviously cared passionately about books at some point. It is important to note that Beatty’s entire speech to Montag describing the history of the firemen is strangely ambivalent, containing tones of irony, sarcasm, passion, and regret, all at once. Beatty calls books treacherous weapons, yet he uses his own book learning to manipulate Montag mercilessly.…

    Montag gets up in the morning and decides he does not want to go to work as a result, he calls in sick. Montag tells Mildred he is thinking about quitting his job, but she doesn't respond. Captain Beatty soon shows up with the intention of checking on how Montag is feeling. In all honesty it seems that he knows that Montag has at least one book. In a casual conversation in which he never directly confronts Montag, Beatty reminds him that books are not only illegal they are, also a waste of time. He then tells Montag that many firemen, at one time or another, steal books however, he says that it is a phase they quickly outgrow. Beatty then recalls the time when people read entire books. As time passed, all the books were condensed into short digests. Books slowly disapeared, and all anyone read were comic books and sex magazines. Before long, books were gone all together. Beatty claims that the government didnt make any formal statement of censorship but advanced technology simply made books useless. Then it was unanimously decided that men should all be alike and equal in intelligence. Since books were “loaded guns” that could give a person extra knowledge, they were all destroyed.…

    Light and darkness also helps develop theme. In the book there is the theme of fire as protection and fire as destruction and loss. “One time, as a child, in a power failure, his mother had found and lit a last candle and there had been a brief hour of rediscovery, of such illumination that space lost its vast dimensions and drew comfortably around them, and they, mother and son, alone, transformed, hoping that the power might not come on again too soon. . . .” This shows how fire can protect them from the dark. The second example is at the very beginning when the narrator says “It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed.” This shows how obsession the firemen can get involved in, in their daily routines and jobs. It is a really evil, dark, and destructive way of life but it was best described through the use of darkness.…

    Christopher Hitchens’ New Atheist novel, “God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything” written in 2007, highlights everything that is wrong with religion, and how its effects are detrimental to society. Hitchens critiques Christianity, Judaism, and even Hinduism and Buddhism, for their atrocities and blasphemous beliefs and makes a very valid point as to why many individuals have turned away from religion. Though quite persuasive in some cases, other times the novel makes points that seem weak or trivial in regards to the “evilness” of religion. Each chapter of Hitchens’ book emphasizes a certain wrongdoing religion has committed, or how religion has poisoned society.…

    In world where firemen create fires instead of putting them out. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, sends readers into the life of Guy Montag, an average fireman living in a futuristic dystopian society where most books are banned in an effort to make life easier by eliminating controversy. I chose to read Fahrenheit 451 because it is a classic, 60 year old book that is still being sold in stores today so I figured that it had to be an amazing novel, and oh boy was I right.…

    Guy Montag’s identity becomes unclear through the book. “You’re one of the few who put up with me. That’s why I think it’s so strange you’re a fireman, it just doesn’t seem right for you somehow” (Bradbury 21). Readers began to see the irony in Montag’s identity in being a loyal fireman and his belief that there is something unmoral in burning books. With Montag’s personality in believing whatever someone tells him and being easily persuaded, he believes that burning book is protecting society from the dangers of reading. “Fool, thought Montag to himself, you’ll give it away. At the last fire, a book of fairy tales, he’d glanced at a single line. ‘I mean,’ he said, ‘in the old days, before homes were completely fireproofed—’ Suddenly it seemed a much younger voice was speaking for him. He opened his mouth and it was Clarisse McClellan saying, ‘Didn’t firemen prevent fires rather than stoke them up and get them going?’” (Bradbury 31). At this point, Montag is really confused if he is helping the community or simply harming it. Slowly, he is trying to free himself from the patterns of the society and trying to find the meaning and the important message behind books. As he struggles to find his way out of the power and…

    In the beginning, Montag desires to learn about the world of literature which he has always rejected without question. He realises his thirst for knowledge after an old woman burns herself protecting her books. After seeing the woman’s passion, Montag makes it his priority to understand the meaning behind her actions. In pursuit of his new goal, Montag reconnects with Faber. While conversing, Montag decides the best form of action is to revolt against the firemen because “the firemen structure itself could be burnt” (81;pt.2). However, Montag’s plan quickly goes awry, as his emotions begin to take the reigns. Montag dramatically goes rogue, reacting foolishly to his wife's friends. As a result, the women turn Montag in, causing a rift with his chief, Beatty. As punishment, Beatty forces Montag to burn his house and attempts to arrest him. Eventually, Montag’s anger boils over and he is “push[ed] toward[s] murder” (113; pt.3). Consequently, Montag sets Beatty on fire, ultimately killing him. Entirely off the beaten path, Montag decides to scrap his plans and run. Mid-flee, he makes a passing decision to continue his plan of harming the other firemens’ reputations. When Montag enters fellow fireman’s house and hides literature, the reader finds that Montag’s emotions hampers his ability to productively impact…
