Fahrenheit 451 - Part Three

The third and final part of the book Fahrenheit 451 was really great. Basically what happened is Guy ran away when they burned his house. He found this old guy that he had met a long time ago who he thought could help him. This guys name was Faber, Guy figured his only chance at living peacefully or learning more about his new moral sense was to find Faber. Guy figured Faber could tell him everything he needed to know. So he started running. He knew his time was limited because the firemen he had ran from were getting the hound. Which was a mechanical killing device that could track people by scent and DNA. Guy had a small radio or TV with him as he was running so he knew exactly what was going on. As he was running through the streets he saw a car coming towards him as he crossed the street. It started to speed up and tried to hit him. Guy narrowly got away. This one of the more disturbing parts of the book in my opinion since how messed up do you have to be to just decide your going to run someone over simply for walking across the street. Any way, guy finally made it to Faber's house and Faber told him to run away from the city and look for group of travelers who lived away form most civilization. Guy also figured these people could help him learn about books at other cool things. So Guy keeps running form the hound and jumps in a river. He floats for a while until he comes upon some like hobo people who he talks to. They tell him all about how they keep books alive, which is by memorizing them. Then a nuke goes off in the city, Guy and the rest oft he hobos go to the city to see if there are any survivors. Thats the end.
