Fahrenheit 451 - Part Two

Psrt two of Fahrenheit 451 was not very long compared to part one. Not a whole lot happened except for the fact that Guy Montag's fire chief is clearly on to him about his books. I think his chief knows that his has a few and has been reading them during his own time. I also think his chief knows that Guy is having some doubts about his job as a fireman and whether or not it is right morally. His chief almost seems to be toying with him. Prodding Guy's new conscience and telling him from an intelligent perspective that burning books is for the best. That it helps society rather than hurts it. Guy really misses the little girl that helped begin to see the world in a new perspective. He feels that it wa sunfair she got him to start thinking like this and now she is gone. He really wants someone to tell him how to feel. Another interesting part is that the hound. Whoich is a sort of mechanical stalker thing that you can put DNA sasmples in to and it will chase people around to kill them. Anyway the hound does not like Guy, seems like it is a bit of foreshadowing that something bad will happen with this really scary looking machine. Lastly at the end of that chapter Guy is at work and has to go on call. As he is riding in the fire engine he is really nervous and does not thing that he can burn books anymore. He feels that it is very wrong to do so. While lsot in his thoughts they pull up to the house that is harboring books. As he looks up he realizes that this house belongs to him. He is going to have to burn his own house and his own books. Then part two ends. I thought it was a pretty good ending overall. Pretty interesting and intriguing.
