This is one of my favorites books, I've read it twice. The main character is named Guy Montag, he is very appealing to me because he always has this sense of curiosity. Also during his job, he starts to read books its illegal to do that. Montag though finds a way around his job of burning books, he starts to hide his books and he starts talking to this girl named Clarisse, she is 17 years old they start talking about life and other things that interest Montag and her. Until one-day Montag gets in trouble with the law, that's where everything changes. Montag is a dynamic character because he changes because he breaks the rules of society, he wants to change and not be apart of the world around him because there is very little meaning. So as the story goes on Montag sees the truth why people burn books, he realizes that it's not the way he wants to live, then he begins the chase of his life.
I personally connected with this character because he has this sense of reality, the same way that I do because I understand that he wants to leave the rules behind and he wants to take risks. Also along with his personality with him being strong-minded and overall, he just wants an escape because he's tired of the world around him, there was a time I felt like that and I wanted a change in my life. as well as his curiosity, I related a lot to this because I felt the curiosity was so strong and sometimes I feel the exact same way that Montag did. in conclusion, this is a great story to read because I agree that there is stuff in this world that doesn't make sense and needs to be explored.

I remember reading this book sophomore year, however I definitely did not enjoy it as much as you did. I liked the concept for the book, but not how it was written. Personally, the way the book was written left me confused. However, regarding characters, I do think Guy Montag had great character developement. He started off just like every other character in the book. It was great to see him begin to question the ways of his society. He was a very strong character. I may one day reread this book and have a new opinion of it.
ReplyDeleteYes I liked the way he evolved in the story
