An allusion is a reference to a famous person, place, character, movie, book, tv show.
Bradbury is comparing the fire hose to a fire breathing snake (dragon).Ī real life reference. This shocks the reader! “With the brass nozzle in his fists, with this great python spitting its venomous kerosene upon the world, the blood pounded in his head, and his hands were the hands of some amazing conductor playing all the symphonies of blazing and burning to bring down the tatters and charcoal ruins of history.” The United States has the most different kinds of salamanders of any place in the world. Salamanders are a kind of good luck charm for fireman because inm ancient times people believed salamanders could survive a fire. They got their name from running out of burning logs. IT IS ILLEGAL TO OWN AND READ BOOKS!!!Ī hearth is part of a fireplace and a symbol of a warm and loving home.Ī salamander is sometimes called a FIRE LIZARD. "I'm seventeen and I'm crazy.I like to smell things and look at things, and sometimes stay up all night, walking and watch the sun rise.ĭo you ever read any of the books you burn? (Bradbury, 5). (scientifically it depends on what kind of paper and some other factors)Īfter work at midnight, Montag walks home and meets Clarisse McClellan, 17 years old and his new neighbor.Ĭlarisse is a very open and curious and inquisitive girl, She asks lots and lots of questions. In Bradbury's book book paper burns at the temperature of 451 degrees Fahrenheit. "With his symbolic helmet numbered 451 on his stolid head' (Bradbury, 1) Helmet number 451 (the burning temperature of fire)
The main character, Guy Montag, is a fireman. This makes a stronger connection between the reader and the story!
He wants the reader(that's you) to imagine the story taking place where you live, in your town. ******* Writer's Craft Bradbury purposely does not say where and when the story takes place. Society has voluntarily given up books and reading, and by and the people do not feel oppressed or censored. Conflict between freedom of thought and censorship. Hint: In The Hunger Games Katniss Everdeen also lives in a dystopian society. Many of Bradbury's predictions about the future especially electronics have come true! DystopianĪ society where there is great suffering and injustice.
