Prompt 3

In the book Fahrenheit 451 they have fireman like we do today they dress the same and look the same but there is one thing different, one major difference. The firemen aren’t like the ones we are use to. These firefighters don’t really fight fires, they cause them. They find books and burn them. All books are burned and illegal to have. If the firemen find a book they burn the whole houses down and even burn the people if they don’t get out of the house. They really don’t care.  No one really knows about the past except for the fire chiefs. In pages 3-4 it says that Montag really enjoys his job. He smiles every time he sees that fire and the smell of the burning books. “Later going to sleep, he would feel the fiery smile still gripped to his face muscles, in the dark. It never went away, that smile, it never ever went away, as long as he remembered.” This was the way he was every night when he came home from work. He absolutely loved his job and never even dreamed about having another job. Everything was perfect. Until one day he met a girl named Clarisse McClellan and everything changed. He learned about the truth of the past. He learned that firefighter once did make fires go out not start them. After this he started questioning everything. Something tragic happens while at work and that was a major turning point. He no longer likes his job and wishes he never was a fireman.
