Montag gets the last laugh when he turns to Beatty’s dead body and says, “You always said, don’t face a problem, burn it. Well, now I’ve done both. Good-bye, Captain.”

I think that this passage is significant because I can relate it to people I know that have done the same exact thing the passage says. The boys RA in Springer Dorm last year was Mr. Ted. When he had found any papers he thought were unacceptable or he didn’t want as a problem, he would burn them. He would take the papers and place them in his barbecue and put them on fire. He did this because when the papers got burnt, there would be nothing left of it and history. The problem would be gone he got an advantage; he had something to cook food on.
I really like this passage because Beatty is the one who told Guy Montag to burn books or whatever is a problem, and what is ironic is that Guy Montag ends up burning Beatty when Beatty was supposed to burn Guy Montag. I like when things people say gets backfired towards themselves. This passage is also significant because this kind of foreshadows the ending of the novel. In the end, the city is bombed and on fire. To some other people, the city is problem and that’s why they are at war, so they solve the problem by burning it with a bomb. This is very interesting to me and seems to me that the novel is based around burning all problems.

True Lauren, how effective a solution is burning our problems? What alternative are there to burning? Mrs.MC.
