Question

How is guy Montag(from Fahrenheit 451) and Malcolm x different?

Answer 1

Answer:

The difference is that Malcolm X struggled to free a portion of the population from the oppression to which they were subjected, while Guy Montag struggled to free the entire population from the oppression they were subjected to.

Explanation:

Malcolm is a leader in activism for the rights of the African American population. He championed black nationalism and fought to free the entire African American population from the oppression caused by racism, prejudice and intolerance. He was an African American leader and he fought for the freedom of his people, who were a part of American society.

Montag, on the other hand, fought for the entire society of his city to be freed from oppression. That's because Montag lived in a place where books were banned, burned and devalued. This oppressed the population and prevented citizens from having enough knowledge not to be at the mercy of such an oppressive system.
