A Story: Retold

Author's Note:
This is my retelling of Fahrenheit 451.


The novel, Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, is a story about a 'firefighter' turned rogue killer, antigovernment, on-the-run criminal named Guy Montag. Montag was just a regular firefighter, starting fires to burn books, but then he met Clarisse. She told him stories about the world before either of them were alive and Montag became more and more questioning of the world around them. He left his wife, became exiled by his friends, and met Faber. Faber, a former professor and  depressed coward, attempted to help Montag start a revolution; this misguided assistance led to a breakout chase on Montag and the starting of a war.
