The part the river played in Montag's escape was it was his means of getting way from the city and in his hopes, going to the country. The river is also one of the ways he is able to confuse the Mechanical Hound.
When Montag got to the river, he followed the instructions given to him by Faber and immersed himself in the water to clean himself of the scent of kerosene. He also discarded his old clothes and put on Faber's professorial outfit.
It was not burning, but warming. Never thought fire could give as well as take. (also the look and smell was different)

Psychological fear that an atomic war is imminent, got to her. The flying bombers made loud noise that had prevented Mildred from getting her sleep, and had the depressing effect of reminding everyone that an atomic war was imminent. The orderlies who revive her tell her that over-dosing on sleeping pills is a common occurrence in such a futuristic world as theirs. (Bradbury's dystopia novel "Fahrenheit 451" is a what-if critique on censorship ala the 1950's when fears of possible nuclear annihilation and of "cold war" Soviet expansionism were prevalent.)
In "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury, the first book that Montag reads is "David Copperfield" by Charles Dickens. This experience marks the beginning of his awakening to the power and importance of literature.
Montag got Faber to consider helping him by relating his personal struggles and his desire for a more meaningful existence. He appealed to Faber's compassion and intelligence, persuading him to take a stand against the oppressive society they lived in. Faber realized that he couldn't remain passive any longer and he agreed to assist Montag in their fight against censorship and conformity.
In the book "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury, the Montag's living room has three walls covered by television screens known as "parlor walls" that constantly broadcast entertainment and advertisements. These screens dominate the room and play a significant role in the narrative's exploration of technology and its impact on society.
Clarisse is portrayed as a thoughtful and rebellious young girl in "Fahrenheit 451." She is curious, observant, and not afraid to question the status quo in a society that suppresses critical thinking. She serves as a catalyst for the protagonist, Montag, to start questioning his beliefs and the world around him.
At the end of Fahrenheit 451, it is implied that Faber escapes the city before it is destroyed in a bombing, as he had planned to do so. He leaves Montag with some parting words of wisdom, hoping for a better future.
During the war, bombs struck the city which caused a great disaster. You Welcome
After meeting Clarisse and how she had a different point of view on the world, he realized that he doesn't want to live in a society where it is forbidden to talk abut his thoughts and learn about anything new
The hobos in Fahrenheit 451 preserved literature by each memorizing a book or a part of a book. In a future world where books are banned and burned, these individuals kept the words alive by committing them to memory. This way, they could later pass on the knowledge to future generations.
In "Fahrenheit 451," the houses were fireproof because books were banned and firemen were tasked with burning them. Making the houses fireproof prevented the residents from hiding books and protected the structure from potential fires started during book burnings.
In Fahrenheit 451, things got dull every night because society was immersed in distractions and shallow entertainment that prevented people from engaging in meaningful or stimulating activities. When the firefighters encountered this dullness, they continued to burn books as a way to maintain control over society and eliminate any source of intellectual challenge or critical thinking. Their actions perpetuated the cycle of ignorance and conformity in the society depicted in the novel.
