The climax of the book, "Fahrenheit 451," is the part where Guy Montag kills Beatty, the boss of the fire station. This is the climax of the story because, from this point of the book, Guy Montag and Beatty cannot be as same as the old times. In this part, Guy Montag, Mildred Montag and Beatty was all together, however, because of some reason, Mildred Montag rode taxi and left Guy Montag, Beatty and fireman. Beatty makes Guy Montag to burn everything including the house itself. Of course, Guy Montag followed his directions and burns everything. After a hard work of burning everything, Beatty now says that he is going to under arrest Guy Montag because he burned the house. Then the radio went on and Beatty was talking to a guy. Moreover, Guy Montag did not wanted to get arrested so he points the flamethrower at Beatty and shoots at him. Eventually, Beatty was burned until it became crisp. But the other fireman could not do anything to Guy Montag since he was still holding the flamethrower. This is what the climax was told to us by the book. I think it is very exciting and interesting to me. However, it is kind of scary. It makes me exciting and interesting because, it involves killing and burning a person. In addition, having guts to shoot at Beatty and burning the guy, I think most of us can't do it. So, it is very interesting and exciting to me. But in other side, it is kind of scary because a person is burning another guy because Guy Montag doesn't want to get under arrested by Beatty. Moreover, people would do anything to survive and turning a person into crisp could be one of the options. Therefore, it is scary that Guy Montag just did it

I totally agree with you on this one, Vincent. I also think that the climax of Fahrenheit 451 is when Guy Montag kills Captain Beatty. That's definitely the point of "no return" where Guy Montag can't go back to his old life, even if he wanted. After he killed Captain Beatty, his life was immediately changed because he was now a vagabond. He was forced to run away from the law if he wanted to keep his life.
Now, the climax was completely unexpected. I didn't expect Guy Montag to kill Captain Beatty at all. Instead, I thought that Montag would just run away by stealing a fire truck or something. Since Guy Montag seemed like such a "goody-two-shoes" to me, I didn't think that he would be capable of such a great sin.
I like how you were able to specifically pinpoint the climax of Fahrenheit 451. Nice job! Keep it up!
First nice job! And I think montag killed beatty not because he did not want to get aressted but, I think they get executed in someother waylol like mechanical hound dogs put people into sleep which in literatuer means to kill. Yes, the climax was very interesting and exciting because finally montag got rid of his problem as what Beatty always told him " don't face the problem, burn it" Also you got the climax right since the guy montag could not go to his normal life after kill his captain. You did well and overall it is great! keep up the good work~!
i think it is scary too.
however, i do not agree that what Montag did was interesting.
what he did was not a exciting.
I think Montag could have found a better solution with the troubles he had.
