Fahrenheit 451

In the novel Fahrenheit 451, written by Ray Bradbury. The author writes this book on how books are banned and how one character "montag" is changed by being influenced by others can change the way you think and feel towards someone or something.
Guy "montag" is introduced as a fireman, he doesn't  really mind his job but he works to burn books. He burns books just because he is told that they aren't very useful. His wife Mildred is introduced, him and Mildred don't really have that great of a bond that we would expect.
The overall theme to this story is "being influenced" or "censorship" like how someone or something can have a impact on the way we feel or think towards. One way montags feelings were changed is through faber. Montag thinks faber can help him with his situation, but later finds out faber cant completely help him.
another way montag changes is when he meets clarrise. Clarrises part in this story is to change montag way of thinking about being a " firemen" he later starts to think seriously about his job. He starts to feel that he isn't as happy with burning books.
Montag finds himself actually interested in books. Monatag has been riding books from mildred, she begins to freak out beacuse she knows if anyone finds out about what monatag has been up to there could be major consuquences.
