In section 32-68, montag starts to realize that he is not happy with his life. The reason why is because he have a wife name mildred that has some sort of illness. Mildred life lives through sea shells, and she also talks to three walls who she calls her family. Anything that montag says to mildred she just lip reads him, she never talks. Because of this situation montag isnt happy. Montag have conversations with a girl next door with the name of clarrisse. From the things clarrisse says to him, compared to his wife not talking to him at all, he realizes that he is unhappy with his life. Once he started to think of clarrisse, oneday he asked his wife about her and she then told him that clarrisse was dead. She have been ran over by a car. All of a sudden, montag began to feel some type of illness. He thought of not going back to work, so he told Captain Beatty that he wasn't feeling well. Captain Beatty knew then that montag wasnt happy with his life. Captain, decided to come over to montag's home and give him a lecture on the importance of happiness in life. Montag realizes that reading books is what makes him happy. As a result, montag had books hidden away from his wife, mildred for one year. He finally showed her the books. After that they shared a moment together for the first time on reading the books. By doing this, this was a meaning on what made montag happy.
In the scene where Montag is asking his boss about the past of the firehouse, and his job as a fireman he says "once upon a time!" almost giving away his secret. This is a pivotal scene because it shows the beginning of how Montag is becoming a totally different person as the novel goes on. In the same scene Montag asked Beatty "Didn't firemen prevent fires rather than stoke them up and get them going?", Montag feels while asking the question that is Clarisse McClellan with her much younger voice was asking the question for him and therefore this is classify as a pivotal scene to the novel.
The second pivotal scene would be when Montag reveals all the books hidden in the back of the air-conditioning system and says to Mildren “I’m sorry, he said. I didn’t really think. But now it looks as if we’re in this together”. This is a pivotal scene for the novel because it shows the beginning of a better relationship between Montag and Mildred, especially when Montag says to Mildred “I need you so much right now”.
In the first part od Fahrenheit 451,according to "Clarisse" people had wrong kind of social life.People never had time to talk each other.They always were runnig to their jobs.The new houses did not have porches or garden where people can spent time talking and rocking in nights.Montag was one example who did not had good social life.Today, there is not much difference about people social life.They still living in comdominium or apartments and they do not have time to spend with their friends or neighbors.People are running or they are busy in their different jobs.
The comments that beatty expresses in this passage, is true for most people in life. The discussion that is held expresses the civilizations of life. For example, beatty says," you must understand that our civilization is so vast that we can't have our minorities upset and stirred". What this means is never pay attention to the little things in life, in which you let upset you. You must learn to remain focused on the important things in life and not small things. In my own experience, i've always let small things get to me. Such as a boy by the name of tyshawn, i went to schhol with. He would always pick with me and call me names, ans i never knew why. At first i didn't know how to deal with it, so i would just get upset and argue back with him. Eventually, i learned to overcome the fact of ignoring him, and looking beyond him to more important things in life. In relation to the passage, Fahrenheit 451, Beatty talks about the minorities of life, and why it is important to look beyond.
I'm a writing professor at Hudson County Community College. I have been teaching here for about 10 years, and I love working with the eclectic bunch of students I meet each semester.
