“It was a pleasure to burn.”

“It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and

changed.”

For Guy Montag, being a fireman meant setting fires, not putting

them out.

In the future, books are illegal to own. It is the job of the firemen to start fires to burn

any books found down to ashes.

Guy meets a little girl on his way home from work one evening. She asks him

questions that force him to think.

Something he realizes he hasn’t had to do in a very long time.

Guy wants to start thinking again. He begins to question why books need to

be burned.

Guy decides book burning must come to an end!

But how?

“Fahrenheit 451…

…the temperature at which book paper catches fire, and

burns.”
