Farinheit 451 pg 1-23
In this book the world is not the same as what we know. People are not allowed to own or read books. Also firemen are called to burn the books down, to start the fires instead of putting them out. One fireman, Guy Montan, starts the book spewing gasoline on a house that contained contraband books. The hose that the fuel is coming from is described, in detail as a python, spitting its venom on the world. I don't know why but this struck an image in my head that all fire in this book is green. All the fire, the ones inside and out of the body and mind, seemed poisonous and viral in nature. Almost as if the people in the fire and observing it are being slowly poisoned by the green glow of a flame.

Your comment that the fire seemed mgreen to you, because of its viral nature, was interesting and creative. It shows that you are thinking about the book as you read. Note the spelling of the Character's name -- Montag.
