Guy Montag is a fireman whose job is to burn books that are illegal to own in the future. After meeting a little girl who asks thought-provoking questions, Guy begins to question why books need to be burned and decides the book burning must end. The temperature at which book paper catches fire and burns is 451 degrees Fahrenheit, as depicted in the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.

1. “It was a pleasure to burn.”

2. “It was a special pleasure to see things
eaten, to see things blackened and
changed.”

3. For Guy Montag, being a fireman
meant setting fires, not putting
them out.

4. In the future, books are illegal to own. It is
the job of the firemen to start fires to burn
any books found down to ashes.

5. Guy meets a little girl on his way home
from work one evening. She asks him
questions that force him to think.
Something he realizes he hasn’t had
to do in a very long time.

6. Guy wants to start thinking again. He
begins to question why books need to
be burned.

7. Guy decides book burning must come
to an end!

8. But how?

9. “Fahrenheit 451…
…the temperature at which
book paper catches fire, and
burns.”
