Question: Could some one summarize Fahrenheit 415 please!?

Basically it's about a man living in a utopian America, in the future, who is a fireman, but instead of fighting fires, they start them in houses where there are books!. The man loves his job and is completely infatuated by the way the kerosene is lit and burns the houses!. I'm pretty sure I remember it saying something about the books on fire look like moths or something like that!. Then the main character (the man), Guy Montag, meets a seventeen year old girl named Clarisse who makes him question whether or not he truly loves his job!. Montag then reads a book, and the fire chief catches him in a sense and then all of this stuff happens!.

It's actually a really, really good book with a lot of meaning behind it!. And I've never been one for books like that!. I would consider it an easy reader!. I read it very quickly, but it's definitely not what you would consider a 'light read'Www@QuestionHome@Com

The central character is Guy Montag who is a fireman!. He lives in a utopian society where all books are banned!. Instead of putting down actual fires, firemen in his society go out and burn books!. His wife is indifferent and is basically one of the mindless people trapped by the teachings of his society!. I forget how but one day he was able to take possession of some books and are able to hide it in his house!. He becomes intrigue by the words in the books!. However he is later found out by one of his firemen workers!. Threatened, he managed to either injure or kill that guy and runs away!. And I'm going to let you finish off the ending yourself!. The book was fairly quick read for me because it was very interesting and exciting!. The concept reminds me much of the book the Giver by L!. Lowry!. It basically brings up the theme of knowledge vs!. ignorance and the mass vs!. individual!. Ayn Rand's philosophy is very much individualism and egotism!. Rand wants to portray how important it is for a person to have a self identity/ego!. And the whole book plays out according to that theme!. Have fun reading!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
