In Fahrenheit 451, people don't read books, but burn them. They know they aren't soppose to read them, but it seems some people keep a few stashed away. Guy Montag is a fireman who participates in burning books instead of putting out fires in houses (which they claim they never did). He is starting to question society and if it is really "fair" after his friend Clarisse ends up dead. This story tells how people want to rebel against society to make them somewhat interesting or make a difference, but also seem to go along with what society has to offer (Guy has books stored away but is also a fireman who burns books). Does he have to choose one side, or can he have two oppinions on what to do with the books?
