The prose of Fahrenheit 451 is less than literary fiction. Bradbury uses three main elements that contribute to the dramatic structure of Fahrenheit 451. His use of similes, imagery, and situational irony are present in his writing. An example of a simile is “The books leapt and danced like roasted birds, their wings ablaze with red and yellow feathers.” (Bradbury 117). Bradbury is describing the books burning, fast and furiously.
If I happen to be entering a building behind some people who appear skittish, I may walk by, letting them clear the lobby before I return, so as not to seem to be following them. I have been calm and extremely congenial on those rare occasions when I’ve been pulled over by the police. And, on late-evening constitutionals I employ what has proved to be an excellent tensionreducing measure: I whistle melodies from Beethoven and Vivaldi and the more popular classical composers. Even steely New Yorkers hunching toward nighttime destinations seem to relax, and occasionally they even join in the tune. Virtually everybody seems to sense that a mugger wouldn’t be warbling bright, sunny selections from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.
Collett 2 Bradbury’s imagery throughout the passage in Fahrenheit 451 was used to help show how Montag was feeling throughout the passage. Towards the end of the passage when Montag finds Mildred clinging to life the imagery of the room being both empty but not empty helps show us how Montag sees and feels about his wife. Another source of imagery is when the jet bombers fly over the house. Bradbury writes, “As he stood there the sky over the house screamed. There was a tremendous ripping sound as if two giant hands had torn ten thousand miles of black linen down the seam.
In reading Chapter VII& VIII of “Jack & Rochelle”, it was interesting and I found it very difficult stop reading. Their story was very interesting then more you reading this story that to be very sad. It makes me suspense page to page. Reading this chapter open the door to the way their relationship blossomed more into a love affair. Rochelle getting her humanity back and Jack stays of her away.
Many of Bradbury's works have been adapted into television shows or films. Ray Bradbury was born on August 22, 1920 in Waukegan, Illinois. He is currently 91 years old and he still writes different kinds of stories for people to read. C. A Book Review: Fahrenheit 451 is one of Bradbury's most famous books, and it reads like a fever dream -- intensely cinematic, directed by its own weird dream logic, and full of the quality of images that haunt you for days. The book is a cautionary tale about what happens when books are Forgotten or actively suppressed, and it forms one of its own best arguments in favour of the book as a keystone to intellectual freedom.

When books and new ideas are available to people, conflict and unhappiness occur. Without ideas, everyone conforms, and as a result, everyone should be happy. This is the basic premise behind the story underlined in the novel Fahrenheit 451. It is, by all intents and purposes, a novel which takes place in a dystopian future; however, the message it imparts should not be ignored, considering our current lifestyle. At first glance, it can be assumed that the story revolves simply around a government imposed censorship: how the firemen burn books by order of the ruling regime in order to prevent citizens from thinking too much and thus complaining or getting involved in certain affairs, effectively revoking whatever say they may have related
Attached are Two pages of pictures for a collage of Fahrenheit 451 I will explain the pictures one by one, along with main characters and events on this sheet. The first page of pictures is of part one in the novel, while the second page is of themes or important scenes in the second and final part of the book. Part One: There are 10 photos that I decided were important to this first half of the book up until When Guy Montag Meets Faber. The first picture is obviously of books. This is because Guy Montag, the main character of the story is a fireman.
Clarisse is someone who doesn’t like technology as much as the rest of the society does. For example on page she talks to Montage about her childhood and how she used to listen to her uncle talk about the old days rather than watch the TV talk about the old days. Her effect on Montag is the whole reason that he got interested in books in the first place. If they would have never met that one night on the street that he would have never questioned how the society was being ran. So you could say that she is the whole reason that he became interested in
The knowledge and ignorance in the story was greatly important to us as a motivation to do different in some cases. ““Magazines became a nice blend of vanilla tapioca. Books, so the damned snobbish critics said, were dishwater. No wonder books stopped selling, the critics said. But the public, knowing what it wanted, spinning happily, let the comic books survive.”” There are knowledge we use today but also some ignorance.
