Fahrenheit 451 - The Old Lady That Died Pt 2

My earlier post was on the same subject but it had gotten to be over three hundred and twenty five words so I decided to split it into two blogs rather than just one. Any back on track. The old lady undoubtedly died in the blaze that took down the whole building. Guy becomes bothered by the simple question of why. As he begins to think about it he realizes this was not just some crazy person but it must have been something about the books. This only piques Guy's interest in books. Leading him to wonder what could possibly be so interesting in those dusty old things? The Old lady was really important in the story because she helped set Guy along the path that eventually made he realize that he had been living life completely wrong and that he wanted to change. This woman really helped to awaken his conscience almost as much as Clarisse did in the very begging. The old lady did it in not as much of a direct way as Clarisse did though. Changing Guy's opinion through actions and character rather than through words and innocence like Clarisse does. Guy realizes that something must be really important in books if people are willing to die for them. Then he realizes hat why is the government forcing them to burn books if such an amazing message could be inside something so small. Should they not be learning form these books and find out what secrets these ancient tomes hold? Guy realizes all of this thanks to the old lady who decided to die with their books rather than to see them be burned indiscriminately. I do not know how much she must have loved those books for her to die for them. There are not any things that come to mind when I think of non person objects I would be willing to die for. Continued on next blog entry.
