Fahrenheit 451-How does it relate to my definition of American Literature?

My definition of American Literature is that it emanates the emotion. Fahrenheit 451 makes the readers feel that books are beyond important. The books make readers angry at the way the city is run. They are also annoyed at the people living in the city because of their incompetence and small-mindedness. If only the characters could understand the importance of literature, then there would be knowledge and understanding. Also, thing wouldn't be as stiff and similar. There would be uniqueness and originality. The main character, Guy Montag, feels these emotions as well. That is what makes the readers feel so passionate about books, because Montag is as well. The author writes this book to make the audience feel sorry for the people who disregard books and he makes them want to fight for what is right. He makes the audience want to go to war with the characters as well.
The definition is backed up with a look at wars during American times and how that impacted the literature of the time. In the book, about halfway through, Montag begins to have a self verses self and a self verses society conflict, almost as if he's going to war with the two. He wants to fight for books and knowledge, but no one understands him. He starts to have a dilemma with society and the norms of the time. He feels that the idea of no books or knowledge is ridiculous and wants everyone to think about the things he gets out of books. In the end, he gets his wish because, someone let's a bomb loose in the city and destroys everything. This can relate to the time because when this book was created, in the 1950s, the Korean War was taking place. This, and the great amount of talk of bombs going around in America during the time, were wrapped together in this book. The war with what society wants and what Montag wants is a war itself, and at the end, when the bomb was released.
In the end, the author, Ray Bradbury, shows that books are a necessity or people can rebel against the idea of a strict, similar society and fight against it. In the end, taking away such an important influence in an area will eventually be destroyed because of the withdrawal. People need to learn and understand and be unique, which is what the author shows us through the main character's feelings making the audience feel his emotion.
