This sentence has proven difficult for me to rephrase b/c I can't seem to be able to word it so it sounds interesting, and I can't just use this word for word. HELP!
Here it is:
When Montag fails to show up for work, his fire chief, Beatty, pays a visit to his house. Beatty explains that it’s normal for a fireman to go through a phase of wondering what books have to offer, and he delivers a dizzying monologue explaining how books came to be banned in the first place. According to Beatty, special-interest groups and other “minorities” objected to books that offended them. Soon, books all began to look the same, as writers tried to avoid offending anybody. This was not enough, however, and society as a whole decided to simply burn books rather than permit conflicting opinions. Beatty tells Montag to take twenty-four hours or so to see if his stolen books contain anything worthwhile and then turn them in for incineration. Montag begins a long and frenzied night of reading.

Montag was a no-call/no-show at work. As this was totally out of character for him, his boss, Chief Beatty, showed up at his house to find out what was wrong.
Upon hearing Montag's explanation, Beatty assured him that considering how intelligent fireman were, it was not unusual for a fireman to want to investigate the reason for banning books, and what books had to offer. Beatty explained that in response to objections from minorities and special interest groups, books started becoming more and more politically correct as authors tried to please everyone.
Eventually, society went so far as to prevent conflicting opinions by burning all books.
Beatty instructed Montag to take 24 hours off from work, and check through the purloined books to see if there was anything of interest in them before he turned the books so that they could be burned.
Montag began a lengthy and feverish night of reading.

Like Arsenal's protection is to any extent further useful lol undergo in ideas examining 4-4 Arsenal and 3-3 tie with Fulham? yeah what a great protection.... Arsenal play NewCastle next week see how properly your protection marks Ben Arfa.. Newcastle have a stable squad desire to work out them in europea league next season. yet confident chicharito did properly on the final objective.. great firs touch on the ball.. and massive bypass BQ: And Figo is portuguese isn't he? ofcourse he is going to assert Ronaldo.. Like many Argentians legends announcing Messi besides..i think of somebody else merits it.. like Iniesta or Xavi Hernandez.. even Andrea Pirlo for that truly stable undefeated season with Juventus.. yet understanding Fifa in my view i skinny Ronaldo merits it extra.. he extremely positioned a stable interest this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days and made issues complicated for Barcelona.

Interesting. Try writing it in the past tense. Present never seems to flow as easily.
