In this section everything changes. It starts with Montag and the other firemen going on another call, burning another house. Same old story. Except this time not only does Montag save a book from the flames, but they also burn a woman. With Clarisse, the burned woman, and even Fire Captain Beatty pushing him along, Montag started reading his collection of books he has acquired over the years, he wants to know what’s so special about them… He starts thinking on his own, which is the very danger that books were outlawed for in the first place. Self thought does not lead to bliss.
Text to Self Connection: Like Montag I also want to know why I do something. I don’t want to just have a job that has me do misleading work for no reason. I want to know my purpose and the reason behind my actions, so in Montag’s position I would do the same, I would read the book.
Text to Text Connection: In the book Stormbreaker the protagonist Alex Rider is also curious about his purpose in life. With the recent death of his uncle, odd people keep showing up and his life is put in danger. Like Montag he sets out on his own mission to not only find himself and his purpose, but to discover the cause behind his uncle’s murder.
