Prediction: Montag will run from the community he lives in. He will find other people that think like him, someone like Clarisse. Fahrenheit 451 is like The Giver where the protagonist realized the society was brainwashed. He did everything possible to escape the society he lived in. Either he lives the rest of his life hiding, he could preach to others the importance of book, why it was keep hidden, the purpose, he dies or a complete blur and wants the reader to think for themselves what would happen to Montag. 

Why Montag turned the flamethrower on Beatty? Montag killed Beatty with a flamethrower, he wanted to protect himself from being arrested, even worst be killed. He was also threating Faber's life. Beatty was also mocking him, for trying to "preach" so calls Beatty. Make others want to read books and poems. That Montag was a fool of himself to think this way, a total fool of himself.

1.The novel Fahrenheit 451 begins : “It was a pleasure to burn.” Why does Ray Bradbury start the novel in this way? Why might it be more pleasurable to burn books rather than read them? Ray Bradbury might starts with this way as a unique starting. Gives an interest to the readers about burning books than to read it. Why? Just Why? 2. In the opening scene, why are the books compared to birds? Could be the bird is the representation of freedom. As read so far people don't have much freedom. 3.

How does the technology within the novel compare to our current technology? In the...

Imagery in The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock By T. S. Eliot The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes, The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes, Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening (With the lines you can just vision what the writer is saying, it's easily imaginable.) Imagery in The Great Gatsby The green light (The way I interpret the green light is the distance between Gatsby and Daisy's love.) Eyes (The eyes would represent the one that sees everything like in a way GOD) Valley of ashes (Between West Egg and East Egg= The separation of the Rich to the Poor)
