If You Really Knew Me
Hello, as you know my name is Faber, I used to be an English professor. I don't like being around other people. For the most part I just stay in my house and keep to myself. This quote, "...his eyes touched on the book under Montag's arm and he did not look so old any more and not quite as fragile", shows that I am an older man that really shows a passion for books. This is why I stay inside my house, because the rest of the town doesn't understand books the way I do. They all think that books are just a waste of time and should be destroyed. The people in this town are ignorant and unaware.
3.
I think if Montag or even some of my friends knew the real me I don't think they would truly like me for who I am. They don't really like me but maybe who I pretend to be
I have a feeling that montag already doesn't like me, maybe because i spend more time and have a better connection with my other family (parlor family) than i ever will with him. i dnot think he could even handle the real me. always hiding behind a smile never really expressing my true colors, but then again why? whats the point of that.... there is none not now at least.

Sincerely, Montag

Can you believe that happened?
Dear Montag,
I'm very pleased that you have come to me for help on how to understand what you're reading. I will help you, but you must know that I am a coward. I am willing to help you but I will not leave the comfort of my home. I've been locked in my house for as long as I can remember. It makes me feel safe from the terrible outside world we have. I've been working on something. Its a two way radio, so I can still talk to you and hear what you hear. I hope our plan works and it doesn't cause us too many problems...
Sincerely,
Faber

Can you beleive that happened?
Dear Montag,
I heard about the lady on Elm street that caught her house on fire! Do you know what happened? I heard about it and I also heard she had a lot of... books. Is it true? I know people are not allowed to have books, but why did she have them? I can't believe she was willing to die with her books. I honestly wish I was there to see it. I know it sounds mean but I really do wish I was there to see books in real life.
Sincerely,
Clarisse

Montag Intro
My name is Montag. I'm am a fireman that likes to burn books and the houses that I find them in. But that is acceptable in this current world. Then, I met a strange girl named Clarisse. She seems quite odd, but in a good way. A sort of way that might change the world. Then my wife tries to commit suicide and can't remember and i've started to read books. So now i don't know how to live my life, seeing the world from a different perspective due to these strange books.
Beatty
I am the Captain of the fire department. As you probably know we burn all the books just for you. Keeping you happy is our job and we do a pretty good job of it. We keep you happy by keeping you in the dark on everything. Books contain knowledge, knowledge makes opinions, opposing opinions create conflict and conflict creates anger and stress. Keeping books away from you is like keeping you happy and stress free.

Meet My Character
6 Things You Should Know About...
Me, Ray Bradbury...
1. I'm an AuthorI'm a full time author. I've wrote the stories... A Sound of Thunder, The Pedestrian, Fahrenheit 451, The Veldt, All Summer in a Day, and Tomorrow's Child.
2. I've Been Writing Since the Age of 14
Writing has always been a passion of mine. I've enjoyed it ever since we began writing in grade school. It makes me feel like I have all the freedom in the world. I got my first job when I was 14 yeas old, it was actually to write for George Burns and Gracie Allen’s radio show.
3. I Got Married at the Age of 22
Her name was Maggie, she worked in a book store. It was the first girlfriend that I had ever had. We ended up dating for a long time. Now we are happily married and have 4 children together.
4. I Don't Believe in Cars
I don't have a drivers license and I never have. Once I witnessed a terrible car crash when I was only 16 years old. After the incident I was scarred, so I just decided to not drive. Cars are the most dangerous thing in our society, they kill more than wars do.
5. Fahrenheit 451
I wrote this story in the basement of the UCLA library on a rented typewriter. I chose the name of the book because book paper burns at the temperature of 451 degrees Fahrenheit.
6. When I Die
When I die I wish to have my ashes put in a Campbell's Tomato Soup can and then planted on Mars. Or possibly somewhere where my fans can visit me. Maybe I could have a tomb stone with all of the names of my books on it..
