Our Presentation

 

Montag(Nadejda):  My name is Montag. I am a fireman. My favorite perfume is kerosene. You don’t know why, this is because my work is to burn books. One day, when I was going home I met her. She was a beautiful girl of seventeen.

Montag(Nadejda): - Hello! Are you my new neighbor?
Clarisse(Alina): - Hello! Yes, I am. And you must be the fireman.
Montag: - What is your name?
Clarisse: - Clarisse. ClarisseMcClellan. And yours?
Montag: - I’m Guy Montag.

    We discussed about how my wife was always complaining about my smell of kerosene, about my work, about tress, about grass, about dew and other things. But she was different from others. When we said goodbye each other, she asked me something that changed my present life. She asked me if I am happy.       
    Then I told myself that I am happy but this question made me think deeply about my happiness.
I met her often when I was going home after my work. This happened until a moment. Suddenly she disappeared. One day, I asked my wife about Clarisse and she answered that she was dead and whole her family moved out somewhere. Ooohhhh, by the way, my wife’s name was Mildred. She was interested only in TV shows and she was often using sleeping-tablets.

Mildred(Alina): I am Mildred. I like to watch TV shows and to have big screens on the walls of the parlor room. I can’t understand:
Why does my husband become interested in books?
Why does he bring them home?
Why does he read me poems which I don’t understand?
Why doesn’t he burn them?

   Books are banned!!! Why doesn’t Montag like watching TV with me and take sleeping-tablets just like me? Why can’t he be normal? He is so strange.
   One day he even asked me when and where we met the first time but I couldn’t answer this question. The only thing that I could say was that it had been so long and I couldn’t remember. We weren’t quite as close as it must be a husband and a wife. We didn’t have any children.

Montag:
I was so disappointed about my life. I understood that even if my wife had died I wouldn’t have cried.
I began to realize that reading is essential for life ant it can change people and bring them alive. My wife didn’t under-stand this and reported about my hidden books to my firemen team. My house was set on fire, the war started and my wife died. I escaped from the city and met Granger in a forest across a river. Granger introduced himself and other ex-university professors to me. They told me that they wanted to change this world with the help of books and asked me to join them. I agreed and I did.
Now, I will do everything to change the world. I’ve realized for the first time that I’m ALIVE.
