Books were like Oxygen for human.

“Perspective gives us the ability to accurately contrast the large with the small, and the important with the less important. Without it we are lost in a world where all ideas, news, and information look the same. We cannot differentiate, we cannot prioritize, and we cannot make good choices.” different perspective effect different point of view of someone. Guy Montag, the main characters in Fahrenheit 451 that lived in the city which books are banned. Montag worked as a fireman at this city, and his job was to burn books. He did very well in his jobs, and he always did what his captain said.
Montag’s live went smoothly until Clarisse, seventeen years old girl came to his live. She was different from the other people, and she did things that were considered odd in that era. Clarisse’s curiosity made Montag realize that he was unhappy with his live, and she also opened Montag’s mind to the truth that books was important. As a fireman, Montag had a job to come to someone’s house to burn they books. There was one day when Montag come to old woman’s house and after he sprayed the kerosene to those books, without thinking he hid that book beneath his coat. Montag dared to did it because of his curiosity about what was inside the book. Montag’s transition from the fireman that agreed with the captain that book was useless into a rebel man that thought book was very important because of Clarisse’s curiosity, Montag’s realization of his unhappiness, and Montag’s experience with the old women.
Montag’s perspective changed because of a girl named Clarisse. She just moved to the house near Montag’s house. Everyday they talked outside their house about random things. There was one day they had a conversation and she stated, “The psychiatrist wants to know why I go out and hike around in the forest and watch the birds and collect butterflies. I’ll show you my collection someday (23).” His stated show how different she act compare to the people in that era. People usually just stay at home, watch TV or too busy with their job, and they did not have time to enjoy nature and taking care the environment. But Clarisse went outside to see random things that were taboo and weird. People in that era also did not curious about anything, and they just accept anything without thinking whether was that good or bad. The society also made the people did things in the same way, and there was no creativity in this era. Contrasting to Clarisse, she was curious and different. Clarisse’s curiousness was one of the factors Montag’s transformations.
Montag had a wife named Mildred. They have been marrying for more than five years, but they did not have any children. Montag never realize that the truth was he did not happy with his live, his job, and his wife. Montag’s realization of his unhappiness was based on Clarisse’s question. She asked Montag, “Are you happy? (10)” And than he started to realize he was unhappy. He also realized that all other firemen looked exactly the same. With their uniforms, grafted-on, sooty smiles, and physiques. This was the manifestation of the fact that the people in this society demanded that everyone think and act the same. With his wife, he felt like they did not really a couple, and they did not love each other. This was shown when Clarisse rub the dandelion at Montag’s chin, and the dandelion did not spread out, it means that Montag was not in love with anyone. When Montag ran away from that city, he met a group of an intellectual people that also ran away. He had a conversation with one of them; he said, “It’s strange, I don’t miss her, it’s strange I don’t fell much of anything, (e)ven if she dies, I realized a moment ago, I don’t think I’ll feel sad. It isn't right. Something must be wrong with me (155).” Montag’s stated clearly showed that he did not felt anything to his wife. Montag’s realization of his unhappiness was one of the factors he transforms into different person.
