First , I will tell you why it was right for what Montag did. In the beginning
Montag had a wife named Mildred. One faithful night Mildred who still hadn't known the truth about the government, took up to thirty sleeping pills had been dying and Montag being in the right state of mind called an ambulance for he because she was dying. In the book there was a character named captain Beatty he was in charge of the fire station and he was a know it all, but one day Montag was about to get arrested and instead Montag burned Capt.Beatty to the ground because he was going to find Faber if he didn't do anything about it. Montag also ran away because he hadn't done anything wrong.
Next, I will tell you how Montag was helpful to his community. Montag has done things he isn't proud of, but he also didn't know it was wrong to do the things he did. So instead of mourning, he set out to do what was right and changed many lives, such as Faber's. Faber didn't have a friend left until Montag helped him out, and then they ended up being close. Montag also helped other scholars in need by adding to their knowledge and wisdom.
Last, I will tell you how Montag took responsibility for his own actions. Montag was always burning book because he thought it was right ,but once he knew the real meaning he wasn't so happy. Instead he set out to let others know the truth. Montag had books and he knew what the punishment for them was and he took a flamethrower and burnt his home down.
All and all Montag is a hero because he helped people in need. Montag also did the right thing when it needed to be done. Montag also helped some people in need. Montag was also helpful in many other ways.
