ABC'S Of Fahrenheit 451
BY, Corrie G. , Kristen R. , Carlie C.
2
A
IS FOR ALONE
Montag felt that he was all alone because
everybody was the same inside and didnt care
about the world around them.
3
B
IS FOR BURN
Beatty and many other people, including Montag
before he met Clarisse, felt that everything
could be burned.
4
C
IS FOR CLARISSE
  • IS THE GIRL THAT TAUGHT MONTAG HOW TO LOOK OUT
    SIDE THE BOX

Clarisse is the neighbor girl who taught Montag
to think outside the box. She wanted him to see
that there was more to the world.
5
D
IS FOR DARK
Montag and Mildreds room was cold and dark.
Also the firemen do all of their burning under
darkness.
6
E
IS FOR ENTERTAINMENT
People in the story used the parlor walls to
watch television and keep themselves entertained.
7
F
IS FOR FIRE
Fire is the disaster element in this book. Fire
is what changes Montags perspective about
burning the books. The fire is what killed the
old lady who died with her books.
8
G
IS FOR GUY MONTAG
Guy Montag is the protagonist in the book. He is
a fireman whose outlook on life changes
signifigantly in just a few days after seeing an
old lady burn with her house and her cherished
books. After talking to Clarisse, he starts to
think that books might have a good use after all.

9
H
IS FOR HAPPINESS
Montag is always asking himself is he happy?"
The answer is always no. In this book, the
search for happiness is a continual process.
10
I
IS FOR ILLEGAL
Books in this world are illegal. Any book had to
be burned, and the owner sent to the insane
asylum.
11
J
IS FOR JOB
When Montags nerves were getting to him, Faber
read from The Book of Job out of the Bible to him
to calm his nerves and to help him fall asleep.
Job endured many trials. Montag would endure
trials as well.
12
K
IS FOR KEROSENE
The firemen used the fire hose to shoot out
Kerosene instead of water. When they went to burn
the books, they would spray everything inside the
house and then light it on fire.
13
L
IS FOR LOVE
Clarisse tells Montag that if you rub a dandelion
under your chin and it turns yellow, you arent
in love with anyone. Monatg knew that he wasnt
in love with Mildred, but he didnt want to
admit it.
14
M
IS FOR MECHANICAL HOUND
The mechanical hound could track down almost
anything. It tries to track down Montag after he
killed Captain Beatty. Montag shows that the
hound cant track everything when he throws him
off at the river. The hound kills almost all its
victims by inserting a needle from its snout into
them, injecting them with poison.
15
N
IS FOR NEVER-EVER
Montag never-ever thought that it would be his
house that he would have to burn. The day he had
to burn his house was the day he read the poem
Dover Beach to Mildred, Mrs. Phelps, and Mrs.
Bowles. After the two ladies left Mildred, they
both filed an alarm.
16
O
IS FOR OVERDOSE
Most of Montags world was based on suicide and
thrill. One night when Montag came home, he
found Mildreds bottle of sleeping pills empty,
and her face was as white as snow. Mildred
overdosed on her sleeping pills like some of the
suicidal people did in their world.
17
P
IS FOR PHOENIX
Granger talked about the Phoenix in the end of
the book. He explained how it would burn itself
and become reborn. They were hoping the city
would rise again from its ashes to be a better
place to live.
18
Q
IS FOR QUEER
When Montag first met Clarisse, he thought she
and her family were queer, peculiar people. They
were unlike anyone he knew. Her Uncle was
arrested for being a pedestrian, and her family
actually talked to each other. They would just
sit there and talk any time they could.
19
R
IS FOR REVOLVE
In this society, people didnt care about
anything unless the attention was on them. If it
was happening to them or basically if it
revolved around them, they were concerned.
20
S
IS FOR SALAMANDER
The Salamander is the firemen's symbol.
Salamanders are thought to be able to live
through fire. Thats why its the firemen's
symbol and thats what they called their truck.
21
T
IS FOR "THE FAMILY"
On the parlor walls, Mildred has a so-called
family that she spends all of her time with.
While Montag is at work at night, she sits at
home and watches the family. Even when Montag
is home, Mildred is always watching the family.
They are more family to her than he is.
22
U

fulfilled, but when he meets Clarisse his life
changes. He knows his life is unfulfilled and
that his job is the most unfulfilling thing.

The kids in this society spent their free time
getting themselves killed, playing chicken, or
vandalizing amusement parks.

During the story, a war started. Montag said that
he had heard rumors about the war. The world
hated them and they were at war with the world.
25
X
IS FOR XEROX
Granger and the other hobos had memorized the
pages of various books. They are like xerox
machines because they read the materials in the
books and memorized or copied them into their
minds.

for the knowledge of life and of books and their
content.
