Fahrenheit 451; Montag's Gadfly -- Work in progress

The final Action Project for the Forbidden Books class. It brings up the topic of diversity and gives us the opportunity to write a reflective essay about the book we've been reading throughout the course. My book was Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury's work that went through many censorship issues for minor details. As of the reflection, I chose to analyze a character from the book that acted in a manner similar to that of Socrates, a philosopher dubbed as a gadfly due to his behavior in "waking the people up" from their false sense of knowledge/security. One of the character's strongly resembles that role and even turns another character into that same type of person, a gadfly. Just below you can see the full reflection essay, and thank you for reading.
