Fahrenheit 451 pages 1-36 date: August 10, 2011

When the book starts out the very first line is "It was a pleasure to burn." It is surereal to think that it doesn't even bother him that he is burning people's hopes, people's imaginations, and people's dreams. He is willing killing what some people hold most dear, books.
It is almost immediately obvious that this book is about censorship. Reading is against the law, Unless it is something the government gives you.
Montag is astonished when he sees Clarisse. In the society that this book is about you do not have imagination. It is very frowned upon. SO of course when Montag meets a free thinker like Clarisse he does not know what to make of her.But little did he know that she was setting little seeds of curiosity in his subconscious that would soon blossom into something he would have never imagined that could happen.Because of Clarisse He realized that he was not happy, that this whole time he had been putting on a facade. He had even been hiding it from himself. How could Clarisse see through him that easily, especially in the society that they live in?
