literature analysis

Fahrenhiet 451
General
1)This story was about a world where books didnt exsist anymore.  Having books was against the law and if you had them youd get your house burnt down, but some people wanted to stand up against this and stand up for what they believe in just like the old woman who burned with her house and her books.  Guy Montag was the main character and he was a fireman who took a book from the womans house and kept it and tried keeping it a secrete until his wife who he had no relationship with found it.  Captain beatty knew that he was hiding something when Montag called in sick and didnt go to work for a while so he went snooping around to see what he was hiding.  Montag got caught by Caotain Beatty and he ended up having a whole room of books and went on a run because beatty let him go.  the town ended up getting blown up and montag met a few proffesors on the woods.
2)The novel of the book was that you need to stand  up for what you believe in and never give up.  If you truley believe in something then you need to do whatever it takes to make a statement.
3)The tone of the story was very eager because montag wanted to stop the fact that books were being banned when they were a whole new world of wonder and people couldnt even own one.
4)Flashback- Montag has a flashback to how he first met Clarrise.
Irony- Firefighters are supposed to put out fires but in this story they start them and then they put them out.

Characterization
1)direct characterization- Faber was a direct character because he did change at all he was all about books and his point of view never change.  Clarrise was a also a direct character because she did like that montag was hiding books and she was just mean and ignorant.
indirect characterization- montag was an indirect character because at the begining of the book he was all about making sure that books werent in the city and that books need to be burnt. another indirect character was captain beatty because he was so strict and wouldnt let anything slide and in the end he let montag go when he founf out that he was hiding books.
2)The authors syntax does not change because thoughout the whole book its about breaking the rules and it doesnt change.
3)The protagonsist was montag and he was a dynamic character because he changed from being a fireman who was about making sure people were following the rules books were not present to being a person who was fighting for books and breaking all of the rules.
4)After reading this book i came out feeling like I knew montag because i felt his struggles and how much he was trying to fight for what he believes in.
