Farenheit 451 pp. 126-137

I like this part of the book because in this part of the book Montag is a really different person. He doesn't really care anymore about whether he is confused or not. It just seems like he is just trying to survive. For example, he's using his own instincts to protect himself. He used to do what everyone else did and now he's free. He's not like a worker ant anymore. If you have seen the movie "Ants," it's about this one ant who stands out in this ant colony because he doesn't really think that the way things are is right. He doesn't like his job or life. So he leaves the colony because he commits a crime and basically finds this place called Insectopia and it was a place that colony knew about but never told anyone. In the end, the colony changes and becomes independent. But it's similar for Montag because he's killed people and committed a crime. Now he's on the run from a new mechanical hound and a fireman and he's wanted for murder. He can't think of anything else except to get away and free. There's only one thing he can try to do: survive.
