Montag places a book in Mr. Black’s (a fireman) home. What is the intended effect of this action? In other words, why does Montag think this is going to help? Also, do you think this is a good idea? Why or why not?

Respuesta :

Montag becomes a fireman because it is a prestigious job in his society. He feels honored to be a fireman. For ten years, Montag enjoys his job, feeling strong and powerful as he watches books burn. His position allows him a degree of freedom, he gets to see the forbidden books that are being burned.
