Conflict/Resolution Piece


        Burning Brings the Problem

      In the book, Fahrenheit 451, Guy Montag is just a regular firemen; burning books is what he does. Soon people realize that he's  keeping books of his own. The main conflict is a Person VS. Society conflict because Montag wants to bring back books to society, but he knows  he'll just have to completing turn directions and brake away from his normal every day life. This conflict is sort of similar to the Hunger Games because of how Katniss has to out-smart the Capital at the end and break all the rules, like in this book.
       Montag pretty much reveals his secret of keeping books by showing his wife, Mildred, and her friends the books.  He half-resolves his conflict when the firemen come to burn his house, Montag ends up killing the captain of the firemen house and just making a run for it. He hides here and there, floating down the river and following abandoned railroad tracks. After a long trek, he finds some other former book keepers how also want to bring back books. In the end,  there's a feeling that they will eventually solve the problem because the Montag and his new allies give you the feeling that they will try to bring books out of the ashes from and stop the flames that burn them.
