Final Blog

After finishing the book I am kind of disappointed in it. I didn’t really like the ending well I didn’t really understand the ending I guess.  While fleeing from the police and is on the run Montag ended up making it to his old friends house and his friend told Montag “I feel alive for the first time in years. I feel I am doing what I should’ve done a lifetime ago.” This is awesome because we know that they made the right choice than. Even though their lives are at stake and Montag followed through with doing some bad things to his friends to run away at least they are happy now. I look at it like this as I am about to graduate from high school, I have a lot of life decisions coming up that I need to make and it scares me because I want  to make the right ones and I am sure everyone has heard it is important to pick a career that makes you happy do something that you love and I truly think that’s important because I am going to be doing it every day for the rest of my life and why do something for that amount of time when you hate it.

While Montag was running he was following railroad tracks and it was interesting to me because he said that everything is airborne now and now the tracks are just there to sit there and rust. That’s weird to me I mean what if one day trains don’t exist anymore, it would be weird. Especially since there is a railroad right behind my house and I absolutely hate it because it wakes me up in the middle of the night, but maybe I would miss it when it was gone.

While still on the run Montag ended up running into this group of five men in the forest just hanging out and they told he doesn’t have to worry he is safe here. These are guys that are just like Montag and Faber who wanted to know what is inside the books. While talking, the guys told Montag to just watch the TV and in about five minutes this chase would be all over. Montag was confused and didn’t know what they meant by it but sure enough the cops ended up shooting some random guy just out on a daily stroll. How terrible! Makes me think about though really how many people are framed and put away for something they didn’t do. Or how many people are out there still running wild and everyone thinks they are safe.

I love when Montag said “The sun burnt every day. It burnt time. The world rushed in a circle and turned on its axis and time was busy burning the years and the people anyway, without any help from him. So if he burnt things with firemen and the sun burnt time, that meant that everything burnt.” Isn’t that the truth I mean life is short enough the way it is and why have it go any faster. Enjoy it!
