Can't retain the knowledge (The sand being the knowledge the sieve being his mind).]]> 2018-03-21 18:54:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hvpham100/4bdjkic0lghc/wish/244708605 Symbol hvpham100 https://padlet.com/hvpham100/4bdjkic0lghc/wish/244708789 The Sieve and Sand]]> 2018-03-21 18:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/hvpham100/4bdjkic0lghc/wish/244708789 Quote 1: "Once as a child he had sat upon a yellow dune by the sea in the middle of the blue and hot summer day, trying to fill a sieve with sand... the faster he poured, the faster it sifted through with a hot whispering" (78). hvpham100 https://padlet.com/hvpham100/4bdjkic0lghc/wish/244711360 Similar to the impossibility of filling a sieve with sand, Guy Montag has trouble containing all the knowledge filling up in his brain. He is unable to retain all of it because of distractions that get in the way of his thinking.]]> 2018-03-21 18:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/hvpham100/4bdjkic0lghc/wish/244711360 Quote 2: "...if you read fast and read all, maybe some of the sand will stay in the sieve. But he read and the words fell through... no phrase must escape me, each line must be memorized" (78). hvpham100 https://padlet.com/hvpham100/4bdjkic0lghc/wish/244711675 Guy Montag is attempting to memorize lines of the Bible because believes Captain Beatty will try to use it against him later. However, the problem is that Montag cannot contain anything in his mind at the moment, just like sand in a sieve. He is constantly distracted by a dentistry advertisement stuck in his head and is unable to forget about it, making his desire for memorizing lines a more complicated task.]]> 2018-03-21 18:59:25 UTC https://padlet.com/hvpham100/4bdjkic0lghc/wish/244711675 Video hvpham100 https://padlet.com/hvpham100/4bdjkic0lghc/wish/245185565 This video correlates with the symbol, the sieve and sand, because it depicts what is probably going through Montag's head as he tries to read the Bible. With a huge distraction in his mind, he cannot think properly; therefore, he has trouble memorizing anything. In the video, it shows an individual talking on the phone while driving. This is a great example because, like Montag, the man is distracted by the call and cannot focus on the road ahead.]]> 2018-03-22 18:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/hvpham100/4bdjkic0lghc/wish/245185565
