The Character of Faber
So, my kitten is still asleep on my lap thank goodness. I was just freaking out because I just got this call on the house phone that woke the kitten up. It actually made me pretty mad because it was not even someone that I knew. It was just a dumb too-free call. That stuff just makes me mad. I was ready to just pick up the phone and start screaming at the person, but my better half got to me and I just let it go to the answering machine. Luckily for me, right after I sat back down in the chair next to the laptop that I am typing on, the cute little kitten hopped right back up onto my lap and went right back to sleep. Thank gosh. If this little kitten would have started bothering me again, I would have been extremely, extremely angry with the person who called our house phone. Anyway, now to the blog part of this blog. So, once again I am writing this blog about the book Fahrenheit 451 which is a well written story by the author Ray Bradbury. One of the characters that the author, Bradbury introduced me to was named Faber. The character, Faber is a very very interesting man. Back in the day, he used to be an English professor. How lucky is it that Montag just happens to know a former English professor? Can you say very lucky? Anyway, unlike about nine tenths of the people in the futuristic society of Fahrenheit 451, Faber actually knows what is inside the books that people want to hold onto. He comes up with a plan for Montag to be able to keep his books and try to turn the society around back to the way it was. That is a very very bold move Faber. Anyway, the one and only problem that I have with Faber is that he actually just Montag into lots and lots of danger coming up with this plan.
