while Clarisse is interested in Montag's experiences as a firman. Another theme could be.
Anne Bradstreet's quote "If we had not sometimes the taste of adversity, prosperity would.
not be so welcome", meaning that unless one has bad experiences, the good ones can be.
taken for granted. This quote proves to be true in Fahrenheit 451 because Montag's.
knowledge of the past is lacking and what he does know is inaccurate. .
When he encounters the truth, it is like an entirely different world being opened up.
to him. Obviously, this newfound knowledge would not be as awesome if he had known it.
all along. This, along with other aspects of the book, made this novel truly enjoyable. For.
instance, the plot was incredibly original and ironic. To create a story in which the setting.
does not permit such a book is pure genius on Bradburys behalf. The novel is thought.
provoking and one begins to question? one's own knowledge and freedoms. Something.
else to think about was the symbolism behind the names of the characters. For example,.
Montag is the name, of a paper company while Faber is the name of a pencil company.
The setting, a large metropolis area, also added to the novel by emphasizing the isolation.
of its citizens from the rest of the world, both physically and in their concerns. This was.
symbolized by the way the city limits immediately turned into unoccupied forests. .
The only thing that I felt needed improvement in Fahrenheit 451 was the role of.
Clarisse. She deserved a longer role in the book instead of disappearing in the beginning.
Other than that, I thought the novel and its plot were intriguing and well laid out. Based.
on these reasons, I would recommend this book to anyone who does not like to read. It.
makes the reader realize the importance of books and all the information, experiences and.
advice they have on their pages. I would also recommend Fahrenheit 451 to anyone who.
likes a novel which predicts how things could be in the future.
