Fahrenheit 451 - Faber

Faber was the old man who Guy met a year before the story took place. They met in a park where Faber seemed to hint to Guy that he had books and he could help Guy become more elightened. Faber is an old man who use to be a professor for s university that i do not remember. Anyway, he was a professor and so he is extremely well read compared to every one. But in his age he has become weak and to afraid to do anything worth while with what is left of his life. All he done for years is sit inside his house and read and invent things. Guy meets back up with Faber after he has to burn his house down. Faber at first is very nervous to talk to Guy about anything thinking that it is some kind of trick. Finally Faber begins to tell Guy all sorts of things. That life was not always like this. People use to read freely and as they wanted to. Guy and Faber begin to plot on how they will overthrow the government. They decide the best way to start is by systematically burning down the houses of firemen, thus starting a panic that the very people who are supposed to be protecting them are the ones who are bad. Guy coems back to Faber's house while he is running from the hound. Luckily he was only there for a brief time and Faber is able to wipe away all the scent of Guy that Guy has left. He instructs Guy to go tot the river and find the magical hobo guys who travel around and could help Guy. Faber then goes out on his own to see an old friend who used to run a printing press so that they can start distributing books to everyone. Faber is a pretty cool character overall as he really changes int he short time he is in the book.
