Fahrenheit 451 - If I Were Guy

Guy Montag makes a lot of tough choices that would really stop a normal person in their tracks as far as decision making goes. So that really got me to wondering how would I react if I was in Guy's situation myself? I decided to think about it a little more here are a few I cam up with. If I were in Guy's shoe when Clarisse walked up to me I do not think I would have stopped and talked to her. I am nota big on talking with random people I do not know. I probably would have ignored her and kept walking. I may have started to listen the third or fourth day though, if she kept pestering me enough. Next up, when that old lady refused to leave her house when we had to burn it. I really do not think I could have done that. I would have had a major issue with someone willingly dieing for their books. I probably would have been forced to carry her out kicking and screaming. I just do not think I could live with myself if I allowed someone to die because I refused to act. The other decision I think would have had an issue with was pulling out all of the book in front of his wife Mildred and then again in front of all of her friends she had over to our house and reading them poetry. Man that was a dumb choice, I would like to think I would make smarter choices than that. Like maybe hiding the books and reading them when no one else is around. Definitely under no circumstances would I ever pull out my books and start reciting poetry t o my wife and her friends who already think that I have lost it. That is just a completely terrible idea and I am sure one that right after you do it you sit there and go Ooo bad idea.
