my post earlier was really short......
so hopefully this one will be longer :)
Topic : Climax
Well, I'm not sure about this, but I think the climax of the novel is around when the bomb goes down to destroy the city. I think this is the climax because it's the turning point for Guy Montag. The whole time, he's confused about everything in his world; why everyone always watches TV, why he never thought deeply about anything, why he can't remember certain important dates, and especially why he can't read books. Well, this part of the book, just before the bomb goes off, Montag finally puts the pieces together and answers all of his questions. He's not so confused anymore, and knows what he needs to do now, save other cities from the disaster his city experiences. And at that moment, Montag reaized Chicago was where he met Mildred, and he also realized how useless everything in his world is. Even though his city had big buildings, great transportation, and spectacualar technology, everything would vanish in a second when the bomb hit. All the people, TVs, buildings, buses, and technology would be gone in an instant. He wants to save the people he love, but realizes it's useless too.
This passage gave me a shock, actually. I imagine the city to be somewhat like NYC, big and crowded with people. However, the buildings, shops, and technology isn't that important or significant. It can be gone in an instant. The people and creatures living in it is what makes a city so great. The lively and hard working people is what makes up the city. In Fahrenheit 451, it didn't matter so much that the city was destroyed in seconds. The bomb went off, the city and everything in it perished, and still Montag and the group were able to keep on going on with their morning and walk to another one, to save it. They weren't that sad, only in that second when the bomb hit were they sad. It made me feel shocked and sad at the same time because it showed how cruel and cold the book's world was. I'm glad our world isn't like that :)

That’s so true...people make the world what it is.
And I’m glad too that we don’t have a war like that going on right now:)
By the way, when you say that Guy wants to save other cities from the disaster his city experienced, do you mean the war experience or the experience of being ‘dumb’ and not thinking and just living for fun? Just wondering lol=]
