To be completely honest i found this book a little dry and hard to get into at first. However by the end of part one i could tell things were escalating, and this caught my attention. I found it odd that the little girl and her family just went missing. After talking to my group and a few saying that she may not be dead made me wonder if she was. However i still think the government had something to do with the sudden move of the family. When the fire chief was talking to Guy he said that normally they are easy to nip the at the bud at a young age but people like her are rare and dangerous. This i believe shows that the government in Fahrenheit 451 is scared of an educated society. When
Beatty was talking about the cradle to school it just shows that they are being controlled at a young age, so this way it makes the people blind and hard for them to resist. Now i see why the woman wanted to burn with her books. It seemed to me it was more than just books but her way of life. Without her books it was like shed have no
identity. If you read books it seems to give you a personality, one the government did not like. If you
don't read you will not obtain one, like Mildred; just as dead as the firehouses "dog."
