BURNING BRIGHT

After reading the last chapter, I felt sad because I thought the story would end with everyone interested in books. The thing that popped out to me the most was when Guy Montag meets these guys who reads these books which they memorized and then burn them. I think that was a very smart thing to do because, if Guy would of did that from the beginning, he would of still had a house and a wife. On the otherhand, it was a good thing that his wife left him because she did not love him due to the fact that she snitched on him for having the books. After having several disscussions on Mildred, some people thought she was that kind of person. Throughout reading Fahrenheit 151, I thought it was just Mildred was so brainwashed that she doesn't really care about anything but her "family," so once Guy read these books to her friends, she didn't want to jeopardize the four walls. Therefore, she turned him in. I feel that Montag is way happier now with his free thoughts and being able to think and read, and also having a support system behind him, which he never had. Even though he lost his wife and everything else, Guy Montag gained a much more important things then his materials.
