Q3. Who are the main characters in the novel? Do you like them? Why or why not? What is special about them? What do they reveal about the universal human experience?
A. This is my third posting on my blog site which is amazing because we have to write so much. The main characters in this novel are Montag, Beattie, and Faber. First, I like Montag because he realizes what he does wrong and he tries to find the answer to fixing it. Also, he does find the truth to how he can fix the mess he was into before the war. Second, I didn’t like Beattie because he oppressed books even though he had possession of them. Furthermore, I felt that this character overall caused all the hardships that were experienced by Montag which made the story interesting. Third, I liked Faber because he was a very interesting old man who was able to hold on to his knowledge until Montag showed up. In addition, this character really interested me because what if I was in that situation and I had to hide. The personalities about Faber made me think if I can be cowardly enough to hide like him. Montag is special because he was able to get out of the brain washing treatment he was receiving. Secondly, he was able to know the truth and be alive to help people survive. I think that Beattie is very special because he was the only person who had so many books in his collection that he should have had a report filed on him. Next, I don’t think that Faber is not special at all because he didn’t do anything which forced him to make hard decisions. These characteristics reveal that universal human experience can differ from person to person.

Oh, you thought Montag, Beatty, and Faber are the main characters that are very interesting because i never thought Beatty and Faber as main characters. Nice comparison between yourself and Faber, and i think most of people are like Faber because they knew bad things about the government conspiracies, but they do not take any actions for the secrets of government. Every three people had many difficulties, so I think you are right, there are at least two main characters in this book.
