In today's world, what is the most current situation that is extremely~ similar to this novel? The most current situations that are extremely~ similar to this novel are North Korea's dictatorship that is happening today. President Kim Jung Il is taking control of everything, he controls the amount of money and food for the people in North Korea. Many North Koreans are starving to death and their economy is extremely poor. Because of North Korean's dictatorship, many people are starving to death and cry for help. When we compare between South Korea and North Korea today, the economy is extremely compared. North Korea is like a 1970's of old Korea, but South Korea is way developed compare to the North Korea. It shows that Communist is wrong and starves people to death. In this novel of government is extremely similar to Communist today. They control every thing and even they control the way people think and live. If the Communist won every war and controlled the whole world, maybe the world become like Fahrenheit 451, because it is very similar what they are doing. Today, they controlled the amount of money and their food, but later like Fahrenheit 451 they will control the way people think and live. It will be extremely awful, Communist's ideas are kind of seem to right, but in realities it never works. The government kills people and starves, and pains them to reach their own goal. They are not even God; there is no right to control the human by themselves. And If there is a Guy Montag in the North Korea, he will be demagogue to stop the Communist rule.
I enjoyed reading this book I hope Mrs. Lavender will give me a better grade ^^

Fahrenheit 451 Q7
Are there any settings in this novel which you have found to be beautiful? or disturbing? or memorable? describe these settings and comment on why they were meaningful to you.
There are no settings in this novel which I have found to be beautiful, because this novel tells the darkness of the world.
The most memorable that disturbed I a lot is that when the old woman burned to death a live. People who realize the truth by reading the book became extremely gloomy like Clarisse did. Because there is no way to solve the problem and they lost their hope. They thought there is no purpose of living in this land, they thought they are already dead, not the place the human has to live. They knew that people are begun to degenerate and regretted that they cannot do anything to change the people. Old woman's death was awakening giant that awaken Guy Montag. He was extremely shocked and thought why they are so concerned about the book and why people are just burn to death with their book. Because of this moment, Montag began to realize the truth and start to read book. These setting are very important, because of old woman's death, Montag began to read book and later realize the truth and taught by many people.
Also when Guy Montag meets Clarisse she asked to Guy Montag that are you happy to burn the book? This also made him kind of curious, because he never thinks deeply and enjoyed his job. Because of this, he wanted to meet the girl again and began to learn things that he never knew about. This setting is important, because Clarisse is the first human who awaken Guy Montag the fireman little bit. If she was not existed, he will have little problem burning the old woman to death with books.

How do you get so empty? he wondered. Who takes it out of you? And that awful flower the other day, the dandelion! It had summed up everything hadn't it? What a shame! You're not in love with anyone!" And why not?
This quote reveals that the emptiness of relationships between Guy Montag and Mildred. This made my feeling very sad, because when the boy and the girl love each other they get married but in this novel they didn't even care about each other and only think about themselves. It is so sad that the government even controlled people to not to love each other. In my opinion, the government is so fool or physco because they enshrouded the whole truth like love, enjoying, friendship, and caring. Maybe the government is so stupid or worried that they cannot even express their feeling to each other. If I was in this situation and realize the truth I would rather kill one of government's and commit suicide for the future and the all of the people. The place that government is taking control is where no place to live for human. It destructs the human knowledge and basic senses that they had. Government is destructing slowly and it's like committing suicide. Because of government's deep attachment people are began to degenerate and began to become like monkeys in the jungle.
"Are you happy?"
Also this quote reveals that the Clarisse is the first teacher of Guy Montag. When Guy Montag heard about this quote, he thinks deeply about it and began to realize small things like happiness and love. Through her teaching he realizes that he is not in love with anyone and also his wife doesn’t love him.
Clarisse knew the truth, how the world has turned into. She was so depressed and lost her hope long ago.

What is the mood of this novel? Do you find this novel saddens you in any way? Why?
The mood of this novel is very sad and angry, because the novel tells that the people are being controlled by government's diabolical plan that leads to no developing country. In the beginning, Guy Montag was a fireman who pleasured his job and enjoyed burning the books. When he watches the fire consuming the papers, he felt good, but when he met the seventeen years old girl who is Clarisse and began to realize the truth that how wrong the government is. He began to get interested in Clarisse's teaching and wanted to learn a new thing that you didn't know about. Guy Montag enjoyed talking with Clarisse, but when she was vanished he felt sad and strange. When he heard that Clarisse was killed by speeding car, he was angry and began to realize that he had to stop what the government is doing. In the beginning, Mildred took sleeping pills to commit suicide; this made him very confusing, because she said she didn't take the sleeping pills.
This novel contains many feeling like anger, wailing and saddens. He was sad that he can't do many things that can help people from against the government. He wanted to save the literature and wanted people to know the truth, but there is no way to spread his ideas to people. But later he met Granger who is a leader of memorizing the book or literature.

Fahrenheit 451 Q4
What is the climax of this novel? What happens? how do the events of this novel make you feel?
In my opinion, the climax of this novel is when Mildred report to the government that her husband Guy Montag had done illegal things and being against the government. Because Guy Montag didn't know that his wife is really going to betray him. He seems to predict that his wife is in government side, but didn't know that his wife is going to betray him. Mildred ran way from her house.
And the Beatty comes and told Guy Montag to burn his house in front of him. And then warns him that if he ran away the mechanical hound, it will catch you. So Guy Montag burn his house with fire thrower into ashes by himself and then Beatty tried to arrest him and realized that he was listening to someone. Beatty realizes that it is the radio, so he was trying to find who Montag was taking to. It was Faber. But Guy Montag burned him into ashes with fire thrower. This kind of event makes me feel sad, because the Montag's life is like a hell.
His wife's betraying event that made him shock and trying to commit suicide made really sad for me, because if I was him I would be so desperate. Clarrie's unexpected death shocks him also. He wanted to learn and talk about the new things that he didn’t knew about. And murdering of Beatty made me sad, because he didn’t do anything wrong. He just followed the government because he was afraid of government. This makes them really sad. It shows that the society is began to collapsed.

Fahrenheit 451 Q3
Who are the main characters in the novel? Do you like them? Why or why not? What is special about them? What do they reveal about the universal human experience?
The main characters of this novel are Guy Montag, Professor Faber, Mildred, and Beatty.
Guy Montag is a protagonist, he knows what is right and wrong he moves for the truth instead of working for bad side, the government. This story is almost concentrated on his story. He is a fireman who works for government to burn the book, but when he was working, he realizes the truth when he and his fire friend burn the woman to death. Also, in the beginning he got taught by Clarrsie who is 17 years old. He doesn't know what he has to do to save the book. He is in chaos. I like Guy Montag, because he knows what the truth is and he is the one who is working hard to reach his goal.
Also, Mildred is main character too, because she is a wife of Guy Montag. She symbolize many ways like committing suicide by taking a sleeping pills. She is kind of strange, because she is the one who took sleeping pills, but she tells his husband that I am not that kind of woman to commit suicide. She is confusing and doesn't know what she have to do, so she watches television everyday and trying to be happy, but it's not true, because she's not happy. By trying to committing suicide it shows that Mildred is NOT HAPPY. And later she betrays her husband and report to the government that her husband is doing illegal thing against the government. She doesn't know how to love and she is the one who is totally controlled by government. I don't like Mildred, because she is kind of physco and doesn't know how to love his husband. She chooses to be with government instead of her husband.
Professor Faber is a English Professor who is very old. He helps Guy Montag in many ways like teaching English and the truth of the book. He is the real teacher who helps Montag to go to right way and live. I like him, because he is like a father.
Beatty is a captain of fireman. In the beginning he seems like villains, but he is not. He is the one who is most sorrowful and knows about the truth of the book. He knows everything about the book, but he decides to be quiet and obey the government, because if he be against the government, there is no way to defeat the government and thought he is going to die. I do not hate him, but I feel pity toward him.
The universal Experience The main characters symbolize that human is not perfect. The novel shows that each character have problem. Like Mildred, she has many problems like taking a pill not loving his husband. Some humans who cannot adopt to the society they commit suicide.

The novel shed the light by telling to read the book. If people read their book all the problem will be fixed and realize the truth that how wrong the government is. Guy Montag realizes the truth that the book is their savior, and realizes that it's wrong to burn the book.
