Manipulation- Miranda Rickard

After reading that Montag was caught for his book reading, i realized something that changed my view. i realized that Beatty doesn've have such great knowledge on books because he feels like it; Beatty is a manipulator!!! Beatty figured out how these people thought, and then used his knowledge to get into people's heads without them knowing it. If you think about it, we saw all the signs. As Beatty first came to visit Montag when he was "Sick", Beatty told Montag things, that Montag did not know of, and I think this gave Montag a little inspiration to trust Beatty.
