Later, going to sleep, he would feel the fiery smile still gripped by his face muscles, in the dark. It never went away, that. smile, it never ever went away, as long as he remembered" (Bradbury, 2). Montag is influential to the story because overtime throughout the pages his character develops into someone who can think for them self instead of mindlessly following alongside the herd. ]]> 2021-05-27 18:18:06 UTC https://padlet.com/alianacawley/1mh2dfehsv2rtnsv/wish/1566219541 alianacawley https://padlet.com/alianacawley/1mh2dfehsv2rtnsv/wish/1566227278 "Her head was half bent to watch her shoes stir the circling leaves. Her face was slender and milk-white, and in it was a kind of gentle hunger that touched over everything with tireless
curiosity. It was a look, almost, of pale surprise; the dark eyes were so fixed to the world that no
move escaped them. Her dress was white and it whispered." (Bradbury, 3). Clarisse is influential to the story because she allows for Montag to discover the mask he was wearing all of this time. She made him realize that he truly wasn't happy by being curious and asking all of the big questions. ]]> 2021-05-27 18:20:24 UTC https://padlet.com/alianacawley/1mh2dfehsv2rtnsv/wish/1566227278 alianacawley https://padlet.com/alianacawley/1mh2dfehsv2rtnsv/wish/1566233964 "There was only the
singing of the thimble-wasps in her tamped-shut ears, and her eyes all glass, and breath going in and out, softly, faintly, in and out of her nostrils, and her not caring whether it came or went,
went or came" (Bradbury, 11). Mildred is influential to the story because she is a character foil to Clarisse which lets the reader understand how opposite they are by making their personalities stand out more. Mildred represents how lifeless the society has come but not expanding their minds and only watching television all day long. ]]> 2021-05-27 18:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/alianacawley/1mh2dfehsv2rtnsv/wish/1566233964 alianacawley https://padlet.com/alianacawley/1mh2dfehsv2rtnsv/wish/1566260737 "Beatty stood there looking at him steadily with his eyes, while his mouth opened and began to laugh, very softly" (Bradbury, 25). Beatty significance to the story is that he is a strong believer in burning books, in his opinion it is the right thing to do. Beatty represents a sense of control and government throughout the book.]]> 2021-05-27 18:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/alianacawley/1mh2dfehsv2rtnsv/wish/1566260737 alianacawley https://padlet.com/alianacawley/1mh2dfehsv2rtnsv/wish/1566267820 "Faber peered out, looking very old in the light and very fragile
and very much afraid. The old man looked as if he had not been out of the house in years. He and the white plaster walls inside were much the same. There was white in the flesh of his mouth and his cheeks and his hair was white and his eyes had faded, with white in the vague blueness there. Then his eyes touched on the book under Montag's arm and he did not look so old any more and not quite as fragile. Slowly his fear went" (Bradbury, 76). Faber is important to the novel because he is the foil of Beatty making him not agree with the government's choice to outlaw books and literature. Faber guides Montag throughout his new revolation that burning books is wrong. Faber shows the reader that not everyone is mindless, some are only pretending to be. ]]> 2021-05-27 18:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/alianacawley/1mh2dfehsv2rtnsv/wish/1566267820
