I finished reading the first part of the story, “The Hearth and the Salamanter” and it was mostly about Montag being a fireman and his home life. At the beginning of the book, Montag loves his job burning books, and takes pride in it. Montag doesn’t know the purpose of doing it but likes it because it makes him like everyone else. He meets a teenage girl named Clarisse, who recognizes him as a fireman and starts talking to him. Clarisse is different than most people because she does not care about his reputation. She introduces him to nature and shows him that he can be an individual. After talking with Clarisse, Montag realizes that inside he is not really happy. I think that now Montag’s behavior will continue to change throughout the story.
