Fahrenheit 451 Pg. 126-137

Explain what you find interesting or exciting in this part of the book.

The really interesting part to me was the page that described what Montag thought was the police chasing him down the street but what ended up to be a couple of kids in a car going about 130 MPH trying to run him over just for kicks. This part really showed how brutal the society that they live in is. The only reason that these people who had never met him before decided not to end his life right then and there, is that he had fallen over and if they had ran him over they themselves would have flipped over and could have been hurt. Not once in their minds did their conscience tell them that they were killing an innocent (as far as they knew) man who had never done harm or disrespected them personally once. The only thing they thought about as they played God was how many laughs they would get out of his brain being spread out across the pavement.

"they had seen a man, a very extraordinary sight, a man strolling, a rarity, and simply said, 'Let's get him,'"
