A new ending to Farenhightt .451: Montag will find the truth

The mornings where Montag would wake up to a fire alarm and went straight to work, to set aflame books that contained wonderful literature works. Montag and his crews job was to set fire to the books, and burn them. Montag inquires an incident where he burns a lady with the books and that changed his life forever.
Montag went on talking to Granger and his fellow mates, “I think we should go back to see what has happened to the others in the city.” “Are you crazy? The first thing we need now is to go back there and get pulverized by those damn mechanical hounds. Have you seen their needles?” “They lurk around to find you and when they do, there is no sign of escape. They have those needles that will just shoot right to the ground, like a sniper rifle.” “Then you tell me, what should we do?” “Just sit here and jabber all this nonsense talk or to get up and do something!” “Shhh… I hear something.” Out of the deep dark woods some figure appears, Granger looks to see who it is and it is Faber. “You guys out here alone?” Montag thinks to himself not knowing what was going on at the time, he thought to himself, “how did Faber get here” and then it struck him. After Montag took dirty clothes and a bottle of gin from him, some shadow was following Montag and not knowing who it was, he kept on running as fast as he could. But that shadow was Faber. He left the house and I followed him down the stream, and into the woods escaping the horror of the atomic bomb. “Montag….Montag!!!!!” Faber screamed. I followed you here to tell you that Clarisse still lives, and is not dead. “Wow”, said Montag, “after I ran all the way here, you follow me just to tell me that?” “You coward, you could never live alone all by yourself in that horrible rundown city, could you? Though I still think you are brave because you helped me understand the books that were banned from society. And I will remember you for

    Bradbury makes it evident that Montag enjoys burning his house by using descriptive accounts like “it was good to burn” (116) and “Fire was best for everything” (116). As he fires each shot of liquid fire, Montag is incinerating his past into ash. Fire plays a contradictory role in this reading. Montag uses fire as his liberator against his past, while at the same time violates its vast power. Since Montag‘s past has held him down for so long, he is feeling pleasure getting rid of it. To do so, he uses fire’s sheer dynamism to justify his problems, a lesson he derives from Chief Beatty.…

    With the use of symbolism, Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 explains how a book burning and conformed society leads to soulless individuals who are obsessed with being dependent upon technology. After a reader of Fahrenheit 451 finishes the book, they either have a strong opinion about the comparison between Montag’s society, and today’s society, or they are simply a Mildred, having not a care in the world, and such. Ray Bradbury uses symbolism to create an outline for themes recurring throughout the story. One of the biggest themes, was the lack of thinking, no love for the important things, too much dependency. Starting in Chapter One, blood is a major symbol of the book, it really shows the reader, how horrible the society in Fahrenheit 451 really is. Blood represents a human being’s soul. And with Mildred’s poisoned replaceable blood, it signifies the empty lifelessness of Mildred and many like her. The ability to clean her blood out, and replace it, without worrying about types of blood is a bit concerning for their society, not to mention, the lack of doctors performing this blood replenishment..…

    Now these two people are both everyday citizens in society however one’s knowledge supersedes the other. Bradbury uses these two people as substitutes for Clarisse and Montag when first meeting. Clarisse’s knowledge overshadows Montag’s with simple things such as dew on the grass. Clarisse addresses this when on a stroll with Montag when Montag starts being frustrated with such an observation “He suddenly couldn’t remember if he had known this or not and it made him quite irritable”(7). This shows how Clarisse’s knowledge is victorious to Montag’s ignorance, making him frustrated about such a simple aspect in everyday life. This is not the only time Clarisse has changed Montag with her knowledge, when finished with the walk Clarisse changes Montag’s whole perspective when asking him if he’s happy “Of course I’m happy. What does she think I’m not”(18)? This shows Clarisse’s knowledge now changing Montag in…
