CONTIUNEDDDDDD...




Q. 2: What is the climax of this novel? What happens? How do the events of this novel make you feel?

A: The climax of this story is when Guy Montag kills Captain Beatty. After always trying to find his own way, and to really fight the enemy was to kill Captain Beatty. And when he did that, that was his real decision of making his choice on his own to say that he chose to stand up for what he thinks is right.


It all started when an alarm rang and Guy Montag went to where the alarm was ringing from and suprisingly it was his own house. His wife had betrayed him and finds that his wife has taken a cab to leave him. Beatty, Montag's boss forces him the burn his own house down so Montag could feel the shame of keeping the literary books. Montag then has no choice but to. Then after Beatty places him under arrest for breaking the law of keeping books when he's not allowed to. Montag felt like this was the time to make his own choice so he punches him in the face and he threw the flamethrower on Beatty and he started to burn. Other firemen starts to come after him and he attacks the other firemen unconscious. Then a mechanical hound that Beatty has set it to attack on Montag, and it stabs Montag's leg with a dose of anesthetics. Montag gets away by throwing the flamethrower and destroying it. He tries to run away with the pain of the numbness in his leg carrying some books.

When i was reading this part of the climax, I could feel the tension and the fighting going on during the climax. When Montag finally decided to break free from Beatty the captain, and even kill him it was a relief. I don't mean relief as in I hated him that much so i can kill him, but I liked how Montag finally stood up for what he wanted to do and what he believed in. It truely shows that he's changed in the different events that have occured throughout his life. It was a big relief to me to know that he's finally found his own way through and knows how to think and act for himself.
