Fahrenheit 451 Part2 Q&A

4. What do you think is the meaning of the title of Part Two (“The Sieve and the Sand”)?


The concept of the sieve and the sand was that when he pours the sand into the Sieve fast enough, then it is perhaps fill in someday. This refers to the book, because the Sieve is symbolic for his mind and the sand is symbolic for the truth .

Faber give montag his name and number just in case montag go angry with him and to show that he is already to old to be fear of the system.

Fahrenheit 451 Part2 Q&A

1. What does Mildred say about why the television is better than books? What does she mean? Do you agree with her? Why or why not? What is the essential difference between books and television


Mildred says that books make her think too much. She means that it's simpler to watch something rather then reading.
I dont agree with Mildreds perspective because watching and reading makes no difference for myself.

FAHRENHEIT 451 Q&A for 14.


14. "One drop of rain. Clarisse. Another drop. Mildred. A third. The uncle. A fourth. The fire tonight...."


Bradbury's unusual writing style is in this part very clearly seen with short sets for each train of thought, all connected with a natural factor like a rain drop .

FAHRENHEIT 451 Q&A for 13.


"A great thunderstorm of sound gushed from the walls. Music bombarded him ... he felt like a man who had been thrown from a cliff, ... and never--quite--touched--bottom--never--never--quite--no not quite--touched--bottom..." (p.45)

FAHRENHEIT 451 Q&A for 12.

My first foreshadowing from the first part is when montag comes home and finds his wife overdosed.
The second one is the Mechanical hound because it seems like his rule become more importend later and the third is the Ventilator grill which is a big cliffhanger.

FAHRENHEIT 451 Q&A for 11.

I think a part of him or something in his life in the past always wanted to understand books thats why he hid all these books, but then Clarisse appears and helped him to remember what he once did and for which reason.

FAHRENHEIT 451 Q&A for 10.

Is Mildred happy? My idea is that she is happy because of fading everything out and the fear of reality.

FAHRENHEIT 451 Q&A for 9.

Beatty's explanation for the current state of their society is the fact that the great influence of trivial entertainment took over the whole life and left only angry, confused and sad people debating for nothing. He thinks the burning was salvation and key to a good society.

FAHRENHEIT 451 Q&A for 6.

The way how Montag finds out is shocking and disturbing, because of the way how Mildred mentions this information. It is just repulsive and like a "by the way" fact.

FAHRENHEIT 451 Q&A for 1.

Independent thinking is an absolute taboo in this society. The general view, it leads only to the people anti-social behavior and the whole society is out of balance. In order to avoid exactly this independent thinking, the company is maintained constantly. As the main enemy of society are books about novels, biographies and poetry, seen, as they cause emotions in man and can put him in a sad state. Books are therefore sought and burned by the "fireman".

FAHRENHEIT 451 ESSAY 1

My features in the world of the novel Fahrenheit 451 which lead to the state of negative view of society are
 1.Independent thinking is considered dangerous because it leads to anti-social behavior and so destabilize the society thats why they made the order to take away all places for informal talks and conversation between the people, so that they dont have the freedom anymore to meet each other in a random way to talk about their life and share their feeling, kind of thoughts .
2.The company is held depends, anonymous and immature by the political system with dont giving the people the chance to understand texts by themselves or give the freedom to find the meaningful, with burning all books etc.
3.the use of straight rules and a hard punishment for outlaws afraid the people so much that they dont risk to try being different or they would rather die, than to bow to the pressure of the System.

3. Next week there is an election. Why don't more people care to research the issues/candidates and vote? Is this a sign that we're becoming more like Mildred and her friends?

As my perception is the todays politics way to messed up and confusing than it supposed to be. There are a lot of lies talken and many ulcers are not followed by the parties.
The most politics dont reach my attention because i watch only series on tv without news and advertising or surf in the internet like all the other people around my age where the politics could not catch up with and cant present their candidates to the most population.


At the end politics are everywhere mostly invisible for our eyes but it reigns over everything.

2. In your experience, who's happier-- people who read or people who don't? Why?

I heard from a lot of people that reading and the digress to another world is sometimes the best way to calm down and forget all your problems and thoughts for a moment, so that you have between all your busy life a spot of rest where you can come down from 180 to 0 again.


But sometimes it's just because someone feels drawn to perceive emotions such as anger, love, jealousy, fear and fun.

1. In what ways are you like Guy Montag? In what ways are you different?

With the book you can understand how it is figuring out that your whole image of living and being is a Illusion of being happy and productive and i like the way how Montag comes to the point to see his world through completely other eyes and realize that he is just a corpse without soul and thoughts,
but he finds his voice cries out what he thinks in a world of emptiness and wait for answer.
Then he got finally after the flashback and finding all the hidden books his way to Faber and probability his long hopes. I like in this part of the book how he is clinging to hope.




Sometimes i feel like full with Information and happenings that i have to take a few hours to re-think everything and just relax, but in retrospect I could swear because of lost time.

Answers of the Question: Fahrenheit 451
What is the inciting incident of the story?  If you're not sure, choose an event and explain why you think it qualifies.
The best inspirations for his story could be the book burning 1933 in nazi Germany and Austria; with a long black list of banned authors and themes who ideologies undermined the national socialist, because they wanted to hide their wrong intentions and leave the folk in ignorance.


 
Describe Montag at the beginning of the novel.  Do you think he's a hero?  Why/not?


In mine opinion is Montag no hero…,he lived his life soulless attached with the job in routine,…until he meets the strange girl on the street and something touched his soul gave him a push and he started to see,  look around with his own thoughts.Until this moment he is on the way to get a hero.

 Describe Bradbury's tone.  What is his attitude toward the characters, the topics, and the audience?  How can you tell?


His tone in the beginning is like the color grey, everything is strange, incomprehensible and unemotional, BUT then character comes into the story with Clarisse followed with the impact suicide try of morgans wife.

 
What is the significance of the salamander symbol in Fahrenheit 451?  If you don't know, guess.
The salamander symbol in Fahrenheit 451 stands for the fireman  wearing it as badge on their chest. The salamander symbol is recognized as the evil in the bible and is probably used in the novel as comparison.  

 
Describe Bradbury's diction and syntax.  Does he use formal, sophisticated terms or does his prose sound like he's in the room talking to you?  Do his sentences vary in length or are they all about the same?  How do Bradbury's choices create description, characters, action, and meaning?  (Note: There is no hidden "right" answer to that last part, it's open to your interpretation.)

 My impression is that he doesn’t talks to me in one room, because he uses a lot of description whichtr are not up to date or you normally don’t use while speaking with each other.
His story fascinates me because the art as he imagines the character is unique.
