Fahrenheit 451 pages 38- 63

Montag's life is falling apart around him. First Clarisse, now He watch a lady burn herself alive. Montag is wanting to rebel against all of this censorship. He is now doubting why the books are burned, why everything is happening. He is asking the question that the government has been trying to eliminate, WHY? Then Captain Beatty comes his house to talk to him, to explain all of these emotions he is feeling. Beatty explains in extreme details about the country, censorship, firemen, and making people happy. This has the exact opposite affect on Montag. He then starts to question even more. He starts to wonder what are in the books, he wants to read them. This little seed that Clarisse put into his head is now starting to grow and is now in the baby stages. He is now not only thinking but he has realized that he is truly unhappy. He wants this unhappiness to change, so he is starting to search for ways to change it. The only thing that he knows to go to are the things the he sets out to burn every night, books. What in will he find in these books? Where will they lead him? What path shall he choose?
