What is the climax of this novel? What happens? How do the events of this novel make you feel?
The climax of the novel is when Guy Montag burns Captain Beatty with the flame gun, which completely reverts the novel mood. It goes from normal, to Guy Montage smuggling the books and then getting caught and he wants to try and learn from the books, but his plan comes to a stop once Captain Beatty makes him burn his own house and Montag will be sent to jail. The climax reaches its point because Montag burns his former fireman captain, which now makes him a convict, which is where suspense builds in the book. The events in this novel all feel like spur of the moments. Most of the time, Montag has a specific plan and it suddenly, expectantly, gets ruined. Montag then gets out of it in a random way, which was his spur of the moment, guided by his forever will to achieve the knowledge from books. He never gives in. This makes me feel how strong willpower can be, and how you can succeed if you keep going at what you want. These events all pile up, change in order, and are basically like a roller coaster. It makes me feel like the mood, or point of the novel is constantly changing, and new branches come out of the tree in different directions.
