a very dynamic character.

Reading the first part of farenheit 451, i have learned that Guy Montag was a very ordinary person on the world. He had a job that he loved, which was to burn books as a fireman. He also had a wife that he seemed to like named Mildred Montag. he seemed content with his life, until a certain girl popped up and walked with him on his way home one day. Her name was Clarisse McClellan. she seemed so wierd. she was very curious, and she asked Montag a series of questions that pestered him. As he walked by her house, she asked him just one out of the blue question, "are you happy?" At first, Montag said of course and thought it was no big deal, but meeting her and thinking about those questions that she asked him sparked something inside his mind. As he arrived home, he found that his wife took an entire bottle of sleeping pills. He had people pump her stomach. The next morning he asked her what she thought that happened, but she denied anything to do with taking the pills. this was also another point where he asked himself "am i happy?". the truth was, that he was not happy. he kept thinking about when he talked to Clarisse, and his routine book burning at a house turned into a very traumatizing experience for Montag. While the other firemen pumped kerosene onto books they ofund in a woman's apartment, the woman sacrificed her life by lighting the fire herslef and burning with the books. when they were pulling book out, Montag had a urge to take a book, so he did. He tried to hide it from Mildred, but she found it. His boss (Beatty) came over. He talked to Montag and gave him a chance to read the book. Little did he know that Montag is going to take that chance and run with it.
Montag dramatically changed from an everyday working man to an adventerous person almost overnight. he had implications that something in his life wasn't right, but the events that were explained were points that pushed it over the top.
