Conflict/Resolution

Author's Note:  Don't read this if you haven't finished reading Fahrenheit 451.

Imagine living a life, where you can't be or do what you want, and you are constantly scared.  Does it sound like a life you want to live?  No.  Montag, from Fahrenheit 451,  is a lone person guy who is versing society, and wants to live in a society where you can be yourself, do what you want, read want, believe in what you want.  Too bad for Montag, his dream is all but crazy because being yourself is going against the law. In his society, the higher class people are all anti books, and living in the scared society that Montag does, no one stands up for what they believe in.  His society unconditionally follows the leader, and whatever they say, goes.  The main conflict is simple: Montag wants something that he can't have or shouldn't even dream of having

 Montag can't stand it anymore, and after trying (and failing) to change the world, he is contemplating leaving and being an outsider or staying and not being happy.  In the end Montag's resolution is just running away as a fugitive, as his world as he knows it, goes up in flames.  Guy Montag is not alone, there are others just like him, and they are the only ones to survive. The main resolution is having the survivors, who believe in freedom and being yourself, build a society up from the ashes, literally.

  1. I like your beginning but look at the sentence "read want." What were you trying to say there? Don't forget the period at the end of your first paragraph. Great start!!
    I like the detail that you give in the second paragraph!!! Nice job!!!!
