Farenheit 451

Currently in class, we are reading the book Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. So far, the novel is actually pretty confusing. I think that I could make a lot of predictions at the point in the book I'm at.The main character, Montag, has just met this woman named Clarisse and she is considered crazy in their society. She knows more about the world than usual people within the society. But she has mysteriously and suddenly disappeared.Also, Mildred, montag's wife, was sick from an overdose on sleeping pills. Mildred seems to me like kind of an airhead, she's out of it. So Montag is a fireman, and instead of putting out the fires, he starts them. The whole idea is that the government is trying to hide its people from the knowledge within books. So a fireman's job is to set fire to books, household with books, and people who own the books. Ever since Montag had met Clarisse, he had seen his job and life a little differently. When he and his men were burning down a house with living people inside it, he really wanted to save the woman inside.

I think that I could probably make a lot of predictions at this point. For example, Clarisse had disappeared very suddenly and unexpectedly.  I think that she disappeared because she knew too much about the past of the society, and the government. The government obviously probably was not happy about all of the knowledge that Clarisse had. I also think that Mildred might start to get on Montag, because I think he's going to change. Mildred seems like a minor character now, but I think she will become a bigger character lateer in the book.
