2. The inciting incident for me in the story was when Montag was sent to the older woman's home to burn her house because she was reading books. Throughout the conversation the old woman is pleading with Montag to not burn her books and destroy her house, it is here where Montag begins to feel real sense of sorrow for what he is about to do. When the kerosene is splashed around the entire house the old woman makes one last plea with Montag, "Don't burn my books." I believe that this qualifies an as inciting incident mainly because we start to see a shift in Montag from a static character to a dynamic character.
3. I believe that in Montag's mind, he views himself as a hero and that his actions are those of a hero. I do not feel that he is a hero in any way whatsoever.
4. Bradbury's tone throughout the story gives a feel of gloom and even confusion in a weird sort of way. The society that Bradbury creates makes the reader know that there is something very, very wrong yet no one seems to be willing to fix the problem/s.
5. The story itself is very sophisticated, where certain sentences are straight to the point whereas others are long, drawn out and overly descriptive.
