        <description><![CDATA[Montag's job in Fahrenheit 451 is that of a fireman. He is charged with the task of burning books. This act is done in the hopes of calming the masses by eliminating material that may drive them to express themselves in a negative manner. At the beginning of the novel, Montag does not mind his job; he just does what he is told without question.
Then after meeting a young woman named Clarisse, he begins to change. She questions his role as...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Well, beginning with death &amp; murder, which often tend to be linked; we see several different forms in the novel. The most prominent are the deaths by cars. Teenagers (and later, we find out through Mildred, adults as well) blow off steam by racing in super-fast cars and mowing down animals and people alike. Mildred talks about how great it feels to kill rabbits and dogs, &amp; at least once it mentions how people who take walks are...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[With police helicopters circling above and declarations of war echoing from the radio, Montag slips into a gas station restroom to wash up. Afterwards, as he walks across the boulevard, a speeding car trains its headlights on him. Thinking it is a police car, Montag begins to run, dropping a book in the process. Just as the car catches up to him, he falls to the ground and it veers away, running over the tip of his finger. In fact, it wasn't...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In the opening pages of the novel, fire is shown as being a powerful force of destruction.  Montag, wielding the all-powerful fire, is in the throws of intense joy at the scene of a house burning, of books flapping and shriveling in the intense flames.  Fire is a dangerous, awful, fearful thing that when introduced, only represents danger and supression by the government authorities.  It represents your entire life being destroyed if you...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The mood is apathy and indifference. In their society, the people are controlled by the indifference they have to everything. They are only concerned about their own lives and simple desires. Clarisse is the only one who is different.

In Montag's everyday life overdoses are common which means the mindless scenery of  people's daily lives still produces unhappiness.

Montag's complacency and indeifference is ruined when the woman uses her own...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[All of the conversations that Clarisse has with Montag can be found near the beginning of the book, so that will help you to locate where they discuss this topic.  The first time that they meet, Clarisse immediately guesses that Montag is a fireman--she can tell because he smells like kerosene.  They begin to talk, and eventually, as they get to know each other better, she remarks how he is not like other firmen, and how she thinks that he...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There are only a couple clues in the text, and the rest just has to be inferred, based on what we know from their society.  The first time that children are mentioned is when Montag and Clarisse are talking.  She wonders why Montag and Mildred don't have any kids.  Montag says that Mildred "never wanted any children at all," but doesn't explain why.  Later in the story, Millie has all of her lady friends over to socialize and watch the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[A fire hose is an inanimate object that has no life to it; it's just cloth, metal, plastic and kerosene.  However, Ray Bradbury uses a metaphor to personify the hose.  He gives the hose qualities of a live, dangerous snake.  He writes that it is a "great python spitting its venomous kerosene upon the world."  This great description takes something that is inanimate and neutral, and bestows it with an edge of danger and violence.  It...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Besides living in a futuristic world, Montag lives under the control of a totalitarian society/regime.  The powers in charge seek to have ultimate control over everything that their subjects do, say, or think--hence the book burnings. Literary works with similar societies are George Orwell's 1984, Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, and Kurt Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron."  If you have read or studied any of these works, you will recognize the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Her parting question is one that changes his entire perspective on his life.  She asks, as they are parting after their first meeting, "Are you happy?"  At first, he laughs the question off and thinks to himself, "Of course I'm happy!"  Of all of the things to ask.  After all, didn't the novel open up with the words "It was a pleasure to burn," and then go on to describe Montag's firece joy at burning books?  And then he meets this girl,...]]></description>
