Guy Montag is a fireman whose job it is to burn books. One day, he meets a 17-year-old girl named Clarisse. She tells him about a time in the past when books were legal and people could read them without being arrested. The next day, Montag goes to a fire and burns an old lady?s house. While setting the fire, he takes a book from the lady?s library. When he goes home, he questions himself why he is a fireman and puts the book under his pillow. The following day, he is about to call in sick to work, but Beatty, his captain, comes to his house. Beatty talks to Montag about the history of the firemen and how they used to put out fires that would start by accident.
