Summary: Montag was the typical middle class man. He was a firefighter with a wife and a nice house. As a firefighter he had to burn books and thought nothing of it until he met a girl, Clarisse, who made him question his own thoughts. One day on the job a woman went with her books and her house. Montag had that engraved in her brain and wondered why someone would die for books. His curiosity was going out of control and he was stealing books from work and hiding them at home. When he showed his wife the collection he has been making she was so shocked. Montag went to Faber to ask him about the bible. The fireman captian, Beatty, was told that Montag had books in his house so Montag had to burn his own house. He killed Beatty and the hound and started running. At the end of the book Montag finds other people who ran after their houses got burned.
Bradbury's style and diction helped me understand the point he was trying to get across because every word had a meaning and reason behind him using tat word. This style of writing gave each word a bigger impact and made the story easier to understand if you knew all the words.
