Fahrenheit 451: Burning Bright

After reading the 3rd section of Fahrenheit 451, I have to say, it is a very interesting and well-written book.  In the end they actually show how important the meaning of books actually mean. The knowledge within the books and within themselves. I really enjoyed reading the last section of the book because it has so much figurative language, and so much meaning. I mean, it sums up everything. But then again, I guess that's because it's the last section. I really liked how Montag becomes a whole new person for the first time.  He finally gets to find the real him. He finally summed up everything, and he finally found a group of people like Faber, or like professors and intellectuals. I really liked the ending in how one of the professors compares mankind to a phoenix rising again and again from the ashes, because as well all know, the phoenix is very short-lived but re-lives right after. Which when you come to think of it, is very much like mankind, or humans. Us humans, there's always this change in live for everyone of us, and that shapes us to who we are now. There will be small twists and turns of changes. And then there are those huge changes and completely changed who you are. And I feel like this book telling us that no matter what your profession or belief or religion or anything, there's always a possibility of changing into something/someone "Better".
