What i think about Fahrenheit 451 is that right when you start reading it you can tell it gets your attention. How it got my attention is when they started talking about burning books. What Montag thinks his job is to just burn books but then he meets this girl Clarisse and they start talking about how there are many rules that they have to follow in the city. The girl Clarisse tell him back in the day they use to put out the burning houses not to start the fires. She told him back in the day they used to read the books and it gave you info what ever you wanted to know. he told her if you read the books you go to jail.

Anthony - Your posting raises an interesting point about the novel. How things used to be different in the old days. Some things to consider as you read. Why might a government like the one in Fahrenheit 451 not want its citizens to read? What does reading of books seem to represent?
Great job. Keep reading and thinking!
--->Ant. The way the book got my attention was the idea that Montag was burning books but didn't understand why, even more that he had never read any of the books he burnt. I would like to see what would happen if Montag read one of the books, or maybe if that Clarissa girl really got htrough to him and gives him more knowledge than anyone else in that community.
