Summary

=Summary= Guy Montag is a fireman in the future, where a fireman's job is to light fires, instead of putting them out. The firemen burn the houses that contain books to keep the general public from reading. One day as he is walking home from work, he meets a girl, Clarisse McClellan, and she gets him to start thinking about his life, and doubts the ways of the firemen and society. Montag starts bringing home books to read, and is discovered by Captain Beatty, but is given a day to burn it. Montag goes to a guy that he had met a while ago, that he knew read books, named Faber. Faber gives him an earpiece so he can stay in contact with him, and Faber can give him advice or read books. They start a plan to try to change society, but Montag is discovered and forced to burn his own house. When he is done, Montag turns the flamethrower on Beatty and the Mechanical Hound as they tried to arrest him, but the Hound got part of its injection in his leg. Montag does his best to run away with the numb leg, and makes it to Faber's house. Faber instructs him to go to the river and wade through to lose his scent so they can't track him, and tells him how to find a group of readers, and after he talks to them he should meet him in St. Louis. After Montag gets to the readers, the city is bombed and they go back to help out, thus ending the book.
