1. Basically, Montag's wife left him and he's forced to burn his house. He also murders Captain Beatty.
2. "And then he was a shrieking blaze, a jumping , sprawling, gibbering mannikin, no longer human or known, all writhing flame on the lawn as Montag shot one continuous pulse of liquid fire on him."
This sentence appeals to my eyes and nose and taste. I can imagine the scene very clearly because of the words the author uses to describe the scene. The words that are most effective are "shrieking, jumping, sprawling, gibbering." The words show that he has gone from being human to being on fire. These words might even describe rage or anger. It feels like the flames are being shot out of a fire hose and I can feel them spreading everywhere.
