Farenheit 451 part 1

Farenheit 451 is a very deep book that makes the reader really thinks about something. The main character, Montag, is a fireman. However, fireman is not the fireman we know. The fireman in the novel is people who burn books(which are illegal to read) and houses. The world in the book is kind of creepy and terrible. People watch television or exercise all day. Maybe you'll think "Wow, I'll like to live that way!" In fact, reading and thinking are even forbidden. If someone read, it's commiting a crime. Okay, at first, maybe you'll think, that's fine with me. But consider it more deeply, you'll discover it ain't living without thinking about yourself and everything's meaning. If you live only others told you to, your life is pointless and meaningless. Even though people should exercise and relax, but it's not accurate to stay in that lazy state forever. We have brain and heart to feel and think about things we need to be experienced and realized. There's nothing we can really learn from no thinking. Montag, our main character, was once enjoying his job. However, after he met a peculiar girl, Clarisse, and seen his wife's suiside(which didn't succeed) he starts to think and feel. He begins to know it isn't right to burn books and isolate people from reality. No sadness is not happy. And as the story goes, now Mildred, Montag's wife, found out he was hidding books and Montag seems likely to start a rebellion toward the world.
