Now that I have finished reading Fahrenheit 451, I realize how important books really are. I used to think that books were important, but now I realize that they are even more important than I what I had initially thought. After reading this book, I will now appreciate how in this world, books aren't illegal. In this book, Ray Bradbury portray the future as highly conformed and different yet there were many outdated terms and objects mixed into to story. For example, there was a mention of a typewriter. This is understandable because Ray Bradbury had written this book many years ago. While reading Fahrenheit 451, I hoped that in the future of our society that it will not be conformed in a bad way.
A key moment in Fahrenheit 451 was, "I'm one of the innocents who could have spoken out and when no one would listen to the 'guilty,' but I did not speak and thus became guilty myself. And when finally except the structure to burn the books, using the fireman, I grunted a few times and subsided, for there were no others grunting or yelling with me, bye then. Now it's too late." (Bradbury, 82) I thought that this moment was important because it shows Faber regretting being a coward and that he didn't want this to happen. It's also important because it shows Guy Montag that Faber was on his side. I'm pretty sure that this moment helped Guy to decide if he could trust Faber with his plans and the information. If this moment had not happened, I'm sure that Faber wouldn't have been a reoccurring character and that he wouldn't play such a big part in Guy's escape and future actions.
