Not only does Mildred leave, but as her final act of betrayal, she calls in Montag`s illegal books into the police chief, who then forces him to burn his own books and house. This is not only the main turning point in the book but would also make for a dramatic preview, should this book be made into a movie. Another scene that would make a suspenseful preview would be Montag`s reaction to the news of Clarisse being hit by a car and killed. Also, the scene were the government declares war and begins bombing the city would make a very dramatic and enthralling trailer. I consider this scene the most suspenseful scene and after the city have been bombed, Montag and his new friends go in search of survivors to create a new and knowledge filled society.
When they were about to leave the place someone came and put there arm around Abbey and it didn’t tell what she did till the next chapter.

This shows she is obsessive because she has never spoken to him to know so many personal facts about him. Lastly, the narrator proves that she is obsessed with the boy because the narrator started to do things she disliked so she could see her love. Since she knew that her ‘young Marlon Brando look a like’ worked at the supermarket near her apartment on weekends she would desperately go to the supermarket just to see her love: “I pounced on every opportunity from Friday to late Sunday afternoon to go after eggs, cigarettes, milk (I tried to drink as much as possible although I hated the stuff)…”. In the quote the girl clearly proves to the reader that she would do nearly anything for her love, even if it is something she dislikes. If she was really in love with the boy, she would wait for things to run out naturally rather then making sure the products run out quickly and running out your own families’ money just to meet her own personal needs, which is to see the face of her love.

Victor literally compared himself to a slave because he was extremely caught up in his work. Honestly I’m not too fond of Victor’s personality because of how obsessed he got with science. Maybe he just was too nerdy of a person for me I don’t know I just can’t make many connections with him. Also, I find it weird that he becomes friends with a girl named Elizabeth then his parents adopt her because her parents died then the parents say that they should marry some day. I find that odd because I think that brothers and sisters should not marry or fall in love no matter if they are adopted or not, I just find that strange.
Many people kill every day, but should they all be held accountable for it? John Steinbeck’s novel contains many conflicts, but a main issue in Of Mice and Men, revolves around two characters, Lennie, a migrant worker with mental issues, and Curley’s wife, the wife of the bosses son. Lennie should not be accountable for killing Curley’s wife because Lennie is not all mentally there, and she provokes Lennie by demanding him to touch her hair in the first place. There are many reasons why Lennie is not to blame for his actions, one is because he appears to be slow in the head and has a very child-like mentality. In the text it states, “Lennie dabbled his paw in the water and wiggled his fingers so the water arose in little splashes...Lennie watched them go, ‘look, George.
