Fahrenheit 451 - The Old Lady That Died Pt 3

So once again I find my self needing another blog to properly convey my thoughts on such an interesting topic from this book. I am surprised at how long this blog has become. The main reason the old lady makes such an impact on GUy is the simple fact of her willing to give the ultimate sacrifice for some crummy old books. Guy finds this hard to wrap his head around, in his life there is almost nothing he would be willing to give his life fore. Perhaps he might for his wife of ten years or perhaps he would not. Recent discovering that the two did not know each other nearly as well as the thought. TO make the ultimate sacrifice is the biggest thing someone can do with their life as well as the most impacting thing. A martyr will always be more popular than someone who is living and breathing like you and I. A martyr paints an almost god like persona around the person and people instantly become more interested in some thing someone would be so dedicated to. Personally there is int o a book pile big enough in the whole word that I would consider going up in flames with it. There are a few people I would be willing to die for, like five tops. But to die for something that can be remade or something that can be reinvented even is a bit to far for me. I value my own life way more highly than I value several pieces of id paper. But who knows maybe the old lady did it on purpose that way so that she could put some doubt inside the Fireman's head and were she to just simply talk to the men she would have been simply ignored with would be worse than deaht some times. I really do not think i would have done the same thing if I was in the shoes of the old woman who decided it would be better to burn with her books rather than to watch them burn
