Montag is an humble character that has to deal with people with suicidal problems, and self-righteous people preventing others from receiving the knowledge from books. The dynamic character is stuck in a life that was chosen by ignorance, and is determined to find a new life through books. In addition, the phoenix that appears often in the novel signifies that Montag's life is finally purified and reborn by the very fire he has been spewing for years. During the course of the plot, Montag evolves from an apathetic, conformist fireman, the very essence of socially acceptable stagnancy, to a new man filled with strong ideals and beliefs. He has a new purpose in life, to preserve books and the knowledge they contain.
He was so stubborn, he didn’t want to except any offers from anyone. Allie Fox and his family in “The Mosquito Coast” left the world because Allie had a vision of his own that the United States will come to an end. Allie himself was also stubborn, he said “Ice is Civilization”. Allie had told his family that because he compared the ice to the world and he himself knew that world has changed, so he created new civilization with his family. They both escaped the world for the fact of civilization.
In paragraph two, when Hanks talks about the change that he goes through and wondering if his wife will even recognize him, he uses a much more depressed state of parallelism. The big mystery that he is in almost plays as a two-faced role, separating his battle experiences from his personal life back home. In the same paragraph, there is also a small quantity of amplification. Hanks says,”But over here it’s a big, a big mystery.” This amplification amplifies the fact that what these men are going through is indeed a life-altering ordeal. When he is talking about his big mystery, he is referring to his dedication to the war.
Barrett also helped Taylor realise that no one can be trusted, and that she should not always believe everything she hears from the Senator Rox and the government Taylor never paid any attention to ads, and usually ignored them (as she explained in Page 207). Barrett helped Taylor realise that advertising in the Chattering World, was all about the government trying to persuade everyone to vote for them. For example, when Senator Rox lied about the “Q-Plague” disease, so he can come up with a cure for it (Cue-Kill) to gain money and respect from the public. Barrett does not only change Taylor, he also changes himself. Through the book Barrett becomes a stronger and more knowledgeable person, learning many different things that he would not have learnt at Simplicity.
In NCIS they seem to portray ex members of the armed services in a negative connotation. I recently watched an episode about how a retired navy serviceman was wanted for the killing of his wife. At the end of the show they say he was sick with some bullshit disease that caused him to not remember things when he gets mad. And no matter what happens it always works out okay in the end. In most TV shows they do this for viewing purposes because no one wants to watch the machine run for a long time but by cutting time out they make it seem a lot more interesting to the regular person whose sitting at home watching the show.
Enough to make it know that he, Guy Montag had a book within his possession beneath his own pillow; although he didn’t blatantly state aloud, he did in fact ask Beatty this question, “ Well, then, what if a fireman accidentally, really not intending anything, takes a book home with him? ” (62) Montag. My only question would be, why allow yourself to be found out? It’s simply outrageous if you ask me. Everyone has a breaking point; Montags just so happened to be witnessing a woman commit suicide while he was on the job.
My first thought when I read this was that the unknown stranger who got into the party was infected by the red death and had infected everybody else. Knowing that one of the side effects of the Red Death is delusion, I then thought that maybe Prince Prospero was always infected and this party was just all made up his mind as he lived his last moments of life. This also makes sense because none of the guests at the party were described. It shocks me how all this time it was believed that Prince Prospero was trying to escape death by throwing this party and take his mind off of it but in the end he still
In a psychological fight against the adults, Ender once again lost due to a major lack of understanding. Although Ender understood that the adults would not be nice to him, Ender did not know that he is unknowingly killing billions of buggers for the adults already.

In fact, Ender thought that he has defeated the adults by defeating the bugger fleet on the simulator, when in reality it is the adults who won with their deception.
After this meeting, the usual house seems to be a cold, impervious gloom. Room looks more like a grave, which is not reachable by any sound of a big city. Montag finally sees his wife: "hair burnt by chemicals to a brittle straw, the reddened pouting lips, and her flesh like white bacon” and realizes, that their marriage has turned into an empty fiction. Clarisse’s absurd death aggravates the situation: he rethinks the world in which they live, learns to think, secretly taking books to the house. A new spiritual mentor appears in Guy’s life- Faber, an old-fashioned man, who completes the initiated by Clarisse and opens main character’s eyes, forcing to notice what is going on around them.
Jekyll in, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, begins the addition cycle with denial. Signs of his denial happen at the end of his dinner party when Utterson comments that he has been informed about Hyde. He replies with, “the moment I choose, I can be rid of Mr. Hyde.” This statement is comparable to how addicts say they can quit doing what they’re doing anytime they want too. Jekyll’s denial begins to foreshadow his isolation and tells Utterson to “let it sleep” about Hyde. Therefore, this is when Jekyll begins to shut out Utterson along with everyone else and still does for a significant amount of time.
