* what is the climax of this novel? what happens? how do the events of this novel make you feel?
The climax of the novel Fahrenheit 451 is the scene in which the Firemen go to burn Montag's house. Montag helps to burn his house down and, in the end, kills his Chief, Beatty. Montag comes upon a truth by killing Beatty. Beatty wanted to die because he was trapped in a false world. He wasn't able to fight against that false world, like Montag, because he was in a position of power and control. So he wanted to die because he knew what he was doing was wrong. The climax of a novel is the point in which the main character cannot return to their previous life. In this case, this happens when Montag kills Beatty. He cannot return to his normal life because, after killing Beatty, the government would not allow him to stay alive and he would not want to return to his normal life after realizing the truth about his own life and culture. So, he is forced to run for his life and begin a new journey.
Through the events in this novel I felt confused but at the same time I began to understand the events taking place. I also felt anger towards Mildred. Mildred was so corrupted and full of stupidity, even to the point at which she chose her "family" over her husband and, above all, the truth and knowledge that books contain. The events in this novel can be confusing but if you break them down and understand them they contribute so much to the book.

I think this comment is exceptionally WELL-WRITTEN. And I agree very much with it. I wrote something similar to this. I like the part where you said Montag "came upon a truth," because that truth was Beatty knowing that he was doing something wrong but couldn't really do anything about it. I think that is the main point to the story and helps explain what the theme of the book is. :)

Hey Sunjin~!
Thanks for the comment~!
This scene was one of my favorites
out of the whole book. Unlike some
other parts of the book, this scene wanted me to
keep reading to find out what would
happen to Montag. Well, the theme is the point
in which the main character can not return
to their "old ways" and this scene is where
Montag cannot go back to the life he had before
killing Beatty.
(Okay I'll see if that works so I can put my pictures up thx)
