Literature analysis #1

1.well from the title Fahrenheit is heat so I expected fires and I hope to experience a good time with this book.
2. When Montag is firefighter but burns books and i didn't understand why so I kept reading.
3. I have to get into a book when I read if I  don't understand a book its because I don't like it or it doesn't interest me.

1. Montag is a firefighter who doesn't put out fires but starts fires and burns books because the society is messed but and doesn't like what the books have to say. Montag meets this girl Clarisse who he starts talking to and started to change and started to read books eventhoyght he could get in big trouble for it.
2. The theme is basically Ray Bradbury talking about the future but now its the present and how Montag burns books and basically books are evil.

1. One example of direct characterization is when the author tells us that montag burns books. The second of direct is how they tell us how hes a firefighter and is married. One example of indirect is how the author rights about how he changes and the second is how he shows us that he is learning to stand up for what he believes in.
2. Yes the authors syntax changes because he gets into the book more.
3. Montag is dynamic because he changes throughout the book.
4. After reading the book I feel like I met a person because throughout the story we stick with montag and get to know him better and I like how he changes through out the story.
