Fahrenheit 451

Captain Beatty's visit to Montag's house was to warn him about the dangers of books and to urge him to return to his normal duties as a fireman. Beatty suspected that Montag was harboring books in secret and wanted to prevent any further disobedience.

Latimer and Ridley were both Anglican clerics and martyrs, burnt on 16 October 1555 by Queen "Bloody" Mary because they refused to recant and return to the Roman Catholic faith. Latimer prayed at great length while Ridley writhed and screamed. Latimer said to him, in a famous quotation, "Be of good comfort, Master Ridley, and play the man: we shall this day light such a candle by God's grace in England, as I trust shall never be put out."

In Fahrenheit 451, what isn't washed off completely is the knowledge and curiosity that lies dormant within individuals despite the oppressive society's efforts to suppress it. This innate desire for intellectual freedom eventually resurfaces and drives the protagonist, Montag, to rebel against the conformity and censorship imposed by the government.

During the war, cities can experience heavy damage from bombings, destruction of infrastructure, displacement of residents, economic decline, and loss of lives. There may also be disruptions in basic services such as water, electricity, and healthcare, leading to a humanitarian crisis. The aftermath of war can leave a long-lasting impact on the city's social fabric and physical environment.

Thomas Paine is referenced in Fahrenheit 451 to highlight the importance of revolution and freedom of thought. Paine's works, especially "Common Sense" and "The Rights of Man," were influential in promoting democratic ideals and challenging oppressive systems. In the novel, he symbolizes the power of ideas to inspire change and challenge the status quo.

The number of pages varies with the edition, printing, and publisher. Roughly 208 is a good answer.

In the 50th anniversary edition, there are 173 pages, but including the coda an afterword, there are a total of 179 pages. At the end of the 50th ann. edition, there is a conversation with ray bradbury, and these pages lead to 190 pages.

Montag and Faber plan to save their society by spreading awareness through books and knowledge, sparking rebellion against the oppressive government. They aim to inspire people to think for themselves and question the status quo, ultimately leading to a transformation in society's values and priorities.

One of them is definitely that books were illegal. This illustrates that people weren't allowed very much freedom of thought. The government was afraid that people would start believing different things.

Another is that people were so absorbed in wall screen content and calming drugs that they didn't seem to do anything valuable. We don't see all of society in the story, but you have to wonder if anyone is thinking, and who decides what the populous *can* think.

Another is that human life is not valued. A woman burning to death on her books is nothing to these people. Brainwashing people is valued, but if people disagree or think differently, they are worthless.

There is no public record of Gloria Estefan ever being arrested. She has had a successful career as a singer and performer without any notable legal issues.

It's difficult to pinpoint the exact last liberal arts college shutdown, but several have closed in recent years due to financial challenges and declining enrollment. For example, Southern Vermont College closed in 2019 after struggling with financial issues.

Captain Beatty hints to Montag that he knows about his secret stash of books by subtly referencing specific titles during their conversations. Beatty mentions classics like "Romeo and Juliet," "Julius Caesar," and "David Copperfield," which could indicate his awareness of Montag's illegal activities.

There are many societies in history where people dont think for themselves: Rome ussr Cuba here people are stuck where ever they are placed at birth the only way to make a life for yourself is to figure out who u want to be---by looking in the mirror

An open-ended question is a question that requires more than a simple "yes" or "no" answer, allowing the respondent to provide detailed and thoughtful responses. It encourages conversation and fosters deeper exploration of a topic by prompting the person to share their thoughts, feelings, or opinions.

I read Fahrenheit 451 and i think open ended questions mean questions that can be discussed, they dont have a clear answer. ___________ Open ended questions just means ones that you can't answer with a yes or no. You have to actually think, and talk. For instance: What did it mean to Montag to be a Fireman?

well i dont really know but i think i can awnser that so here it goes i think every one or everybody would listen. well i dont really know but here it goes i think everyone or everybody would listen.

The story is about government control and censorship. Books are about ideas and contain information so when the government wants to control people it burns books that people can use to format rebellion/new thinking.

Montag is the name of a paper company in the USA and Guy is related to Guy flawkes, the man who tried to put a bomb in the British parliment.

It makes the book easier to read. It makes it more descriptive and it gives the reader a better picturization on what is happening during the story. this style of point of view also allows you to see what all the characters are seeing.

It would be a crime because the government in this society is supporting a "tech" society. Seashells, walls, "families," that's all part of the world. Go, go, go. Keep up with the times. Keep going and going and going and then crash. They want people to hit 100 mph on the highways, faster, faster. they don't want those "oddballs" who are pedestrians, who walk on the sidewalk when they should be driving past speed limits. That's a crime according to the government of this time. Hope this never happens in our society.

Mildred ran to the parlor to hide the presence of the illegal books Montag had been hoarding, as she was afraid of getting into trouble if they were discovered by Captain Beatty.

Basically, the poem begins by describing a couple looking out over the ocean. Arnold then connects the sound of the waves to ancient Greece, which then becomes a metaphor for the history of humans, and how the world is pretty much growing worse over time. The poem ends after describing, for the most part, how the couple is trying to hold on to their love in his terrible, violent world.

Faber considers himself a coward because he is sending Montag off to frame Captain Beatty, while he sits safe at home, telling Montag what to say/do through the "seashell" type radio in his ear. "If the drone (Montag) dies, I'm still safe at home, tending my fright with maximum comfort and a minimum of chance. See how safe I play it, how contemptible I am?" (p. 91)

They are both science fiction

The main character of each novel both can see the world differently from most everyone else

The main character of each novel both escape to another part of the city

Both give warnings about the future

In "Fahrenheit 451," Montag meets and befriends the young woman who is his new next door neighbor and begins to chat with her daily. When Clarisse asks Montag why he has never had children, he is embarrassed. He confesses that Mildred never wanted kids.

He originally stole books out of a type of morbid fascination. Laterally he stole books because he understood their value because of the woman who was willing to be burned to death with her books.
