2 questions of Fahrenheit 451

Describe Montag at the beginning of the novel. Do you think he's a hero? Why/not?
    I think Montag is a hero. He came upon a shocking surprise when he walked in and saw that his wife overdosed on sleeping pills. He ran and called for help and people saved her. If he didnt call for help, his wife could have be seriously injured or dead. She probably wont believe that her husband had saved her since she doesn't remember and his slefless act went unnoticed. 

Describe Bradbury's diction and syntax. Does he use formal, sophisticated terms or does his prose sound like he's in the room talking to you? Do his sentences vary in length or are they all about the same? How do Bradbury's choices create description, characters, action, and meaning?
    Bradbury uses different types of syntax. Some sentences sound like he's speaking to me. Some sentences are short and some are long. When he describes things he is very descriptive and his sentences are really long. When he writes dialogue it is short and gets to the point really quick.
