    Before he met Clarisse, Montag was an ordinary fireman, doing job. He did not question why, who, or what, he just did what he did. “Are you happy?” she said (14). This question triggered something inside of Montag and started the transformation. He started to think more, and to care more. He was becoming something dangerous. “I’ve tried to imagine,” said Montag, “just how it would feel. I mean, to have firemen burn our houses and our books.” Montag is starting to “defect” from the societal norm and is causing havoc. “Well,” said Beatty, “now you did it. Old Montag wanted to fly near the sun and now that he’s burnt his damn wings, he wonders why. Didn’t I hint enough when I sent the hound around your…

    Another effective way to end the book was to link montag’s evil past of burning books with him now. The fire which symbolized how he was blind from knowledge, now represents something different, now that Montag is in the wild with his “smart hobos” the fire means food, warmth, and friends. This is an effective way to end the book because it showed how montag hasn’t just changed on his stance on book burning but also these men he just met are the first males( besides Faber) in the whole book that are friendly, willing to help him.…

    Even though family dynamics cost Montag his marriage, his home, and his crime-free history, throughout chapters two and three, Montag really grows as a character. When he first meets Clarisse on page three, he thinks her ideas to be crazy nonsense. However, he decides to come out of the closet about his secret book collection, works with Faber in chapter two on a plan to sabotage the houses of firemen, and finally stands up for what he believes in when he shakes the firemen and begins life on the run in chapter three. Eventually he joins Granger's gang of book-loving hobos, and they begin their work to keep books alive. If not for family dynamics, he would have never begun his book crusade. Even though family dynamics are in most ways negative, in the case of Faber family dynamics are a positive. Montag convinces Faber to join his plot to sabotage firemen's houses (82-86). Montag's pain from his losses kindles his passion for justice and return to healthy society, and Montag's passion inspires Faber. Family dynamics inspire Montag to fight, and Montag inspires old Professor Faber to finally return to doing something with his life, making him feel proud to be doing something again. In the case of Granger, family dynamics allow him to keep the legacy of books. As the family dynamics change, Granger is inspired to keep his legacy alive.

The old man ended up being a retired English professor named Faber who gave his three things that are missing in their society. The first reason he gave to Montag he stated books “...show the pores in the face of life”, and that statement shows that people don’t like literature because shows the bad qualities of humans (Bradbury 83). The second reason is that people can be convinced of something because they don’t have the “leisure to digest it”, or time to think of something deeply so they believe the first thing that is said is true (Bradbury 85). The last reason was “the right to carry out actions based on what we learn from the interaction of the first two” (Bradbury 85). All of these missing things can make people believe the world is a perfect place and everyone is happy. Life needs imperfection, and if we think we know everything we would believe everything is just…
