Farenhight 451: Montag just screwed up

Can I say it now? Montag is an idiot. As I described in my last post he was reading to thoes people who were too indoctrinated to know any different that books must be destroyed. And here is Montag reading to them. I can understand that he wanted to bring change and show books aren't evil but he went about it in the wrong way completely. And look where he is he had to burn his house down and is now on the run because of his recklessness.
Honestly for an extremely indoctrinated society such as this just coming out flinging books everywhere isn't the way to go. Personally I think Montag could have been more careful and slowly built up a following or found like minded people to help him out. You see it all the time you find those like-minded people to aid in your revolution and then once you have a big enough movement then you act. In a situation like when the alarm was pulled on him it was a classic example of him thinking he could take on anything. He is one person up against a whole [messed up] society he alone can't do much and recklessly acting would only be a major set back to his plans.
All in all I do recognize this had its addition to the story and plot but I personally think that Montag's character could have carried out his plans in a much better manor than he did. For one thing he wouldn't have to burn his house down and become a fugitive. But he did that and the story will have to progress from there.

Farenhight 451 extension "Dover Beach"

Walking home Mrs. Bowles started crying. She thought that man is out of his mind. What compelled him to say such foolish and wretched things? Staggering home unaware of how much she was crying, she walked into her house and collapsed in her parlor. Still sobbing she began to think "where did I go wrong? This has been a sad way to live." But she was still angry for all those things he said, even though they were true. Aside from being stricken with grief, she was furious because this firemen knew about her and her past. She was appalled that he knew all those painful details that she desperately had tried to seal away."HOW!"she screamed. "HOW IS HE ABLE TO FIND THIS OUT?" "I swear I never want anything to do with those people again. This is why I hate poetry and writing. All writing is hurtful and evil and it should never exits!"

As she thought all of this, she remembered something. She remembered since they were in possession of books, she is able to call the real firemen to burn their house down. But she began to think this poem is kind of describing her life and how it is sad to live like this. She wiped a tear from her eye and thought to herself "I do need to change." But Montag and Milderd still need to be reported because they have books. "I need to do this" she thinks as she slowly walks to the fire alarm ready to report them...
