This is because the heat of fire is very scorching but firemen should learn to get used to things that need the use of fire . Bradbury therefore describes fire as an element of being one’s enemy  as fire is in the context is known to be destructive and the symbol hatred ]]> 2021-04-29 00:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471599601 https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471610136 Thus, we can see that Bradbury presents the readers with a conflicting image of Fire in the text, helping the firemen in their jobs and the firemen being comfortable around it, but also fire being used as a weapon to oppress society. The symbolic way fire is presented gives us a complex thought of whether fire is empowering or something to be wary and cautious of. Bradbury presents it this way to show that the beauty of things may charm us but everything as an ugly side and we eventually get scorned.]]> 2021-04-29 00:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471610136 https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471613920 Overall, fire in the text gets progressively more and more of an enemy than a friend.  After, the tragic events that were caused by fire, it would never be presented in the same positive way agin.  Despite giving people joy at the start of the text, it really descended into a far darker territory.]]> 2021-04-29 00:51:41 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471613920 https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471622330 Therefore, fire in the text can be an ally or an enemy. But after the many series of events, fire is presented in a more negative way as fire can be the root of problems and can cause destruction of anything. It is also presented as an element of the change of events in Fareinheit 451.]]> 2021-04-29 00:54:38 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471622330 https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471623388 It conclusion fire is used negatively in the text. It represents change in a harmful way. It is used as a source of fear and intimidation towards people. People fear the fact that their house could be burnt down at any time. However, the way some people such as montag views fire changes as the text progresses. People realise that it's nothing more than a tool the government uses to keep it's citizens in check.]]> 2021-04-29 00:55:01 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471623388 https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471623821 Thus, we see that Bradbury presents fire in multiple ways with multiple meanings, how it can change one's life or destroy it. In my opinion, I think Bradbury presents fire in such a manner to show how fire can represent as that one thing we hold on to dearly, however that may be just the thing we have to let go of. Perhaps Bradbury was also trying to convey that we should be brave enough to let something go, because it may be for the best and better things would come. ]]> 2021-04-29 00:55:11 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471623821 https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471623872 In summary, we can see that overall, fire is a fearful weapon that the people are afraid of yet it can also be used as something to assert oneself. Fire takes a lot of courage to use but it takes a good thorough think to see whether the firemen are actually using it for good. Thus, bradbury presents fire in the text as an agent of change, a weapon and part of montag’s life that he needs to reject  ]]> 2021-04-29 00:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471623872 https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471625835 Hence, in the text of Fahrenheit 451 Bradbury presents fire as a dangerous monster that can burn and devour anything in its path, such as books, homes and people. Though fire can be also good and beneficial to mankind such as cooking, fireplaces and more. Fire should not be taken for granted and lightly as fire can be unpredictable sometimes with disasters happening when we least expect it.]]> 2021-04-29 00:55:44 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471625835 1yusra1 https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471629268 Overall, fire in the text slowly became more and more of an enemy than a friend, to the readers. Fire was praised for being able to keep the society of Fahrenheit 451 going, but the citizens who praise it never understood that they were being oppressed by the bigger powers. Fire was introduced as a gift, but soon turned into more of a weapon used to control. Bradbury presents fire as a conflicting character through how in different people’s eyes, it could be a blessing, a weapon, or an enemy. It’s to tell us that we should be cautious of all things, no matter how much of a blessing it may seem to us. ]]> 2021-04-29 00:57:00 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471629268 sharafynna08 https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471630737  Bradbury presents fire as a weapon to control of people, an agent of change in the novel and a part of Montag’s life that he needed to reject. Thus, fire is presented has an important role in Farenheight 451 since it changes everyone’s lives. People in their society are afraid to have books due to the consequences of having their houses burnt down. It is used as something to make people fear what the government can do to them and their lives. ]]> 2021-04-29 00:57:29 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471630737 https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471632283 Overall fire can have positive effects due to its ever changing nature as it is never the same despite it being used many times, symbol of life as it can be the fuel to one's spirit and the light in darkness yet it can cause destruction if not handled properly and so beautiful as to watch something change and disappear like a lit butterfly fluttering away into the darkness. ]]> 2021-04-29 00:58:02 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471632283 https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471632577 In conclusion fire has both a positive and negative side. It all depends on how we choose to use it. Although in the start of the text when it was useful to Montag and many others, he starts to realise that fire can be easily changed to something that destroys people. Thus, Bradbury shows how fire can be easily manipulated as he wanted to show both sides, the benefits and consequences of fire. ]]> 2021-04-29 00:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471632577 Avinash_CCSS https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471634576 Overall , fire is presented as weapon used to harm people who are not in favour of it , in this case those who possess books. Fire is quite a tragedy as it causes more harm than good , this can be seen when fire turned against him. To be frank , fire in the perspective of Montag started of good and soon brought him into grave danger , eventually he realises that he needs to give up the fire. Therefore , Bradbury presents fire as something that is good at start and eventually it’s light fades and turns to the dark side as it turns against Montag.]]> 2021-04-29 00:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471634576 https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471635019 In summary,fire is something that people are scared of and is seen as something that is powerful in the text.Fire is also presented as something bad as u only see fire when u do something wrong causing destruction to the society.]]> 2021-04-29 00:59:01 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471635019 https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471637240 Fire is able to change lives, to protect or harm others or yourselves, and a big part of Montag’s life especially when he was a fireman. With everything that happened in Fahrenheit 451, fire is still something that can be controlled, manipulated with and should not be taken for granted. Bradbury’s work gives us a reminder to not take our advantage of convenience for granted.]]> 2021-04-29 00:59:48 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471637240 https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471644063 In conclusion, Fire is negative in the end as its main objective is to burn and destroy. The only positive side of fire is when you are an ally with it and you can take advantage of it and either do good and help others or be manipulative and act powerful and corrupt yourself as u have an advantage against others.Therefore, this shows how fire has a more negative side than a positive side.]]> 2021-04-29 01:02:21 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471644063 https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471646760 Thus, we can see that Bradbury presents fire as something that is complicated and conflicting to the readers. Fire is used to help fireman’s do their jobs such as burning the books, this would threaten and alert the society as fire is seen to be a weapon. He shows how the fire is a big part of Montag and that he needs to reject it for him to be someone better. Not only it’s a big part of Montag but to others too by how they would be affected if they had books and how they agree with the destruction of fire. ]]> 2021-04-29 01:03:27 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471646760 https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471646941 Thus, we can we that fire was a weapon and as something that creates change as it was involved in almost all the major changes in the novel. We can also see that fire was a bad part of Montag's life as it caused him to have bad intentions making him think that he was doing it for the good of society. Bradbury presents fire this way to show how people are threatened by it ]]> 2021-04-29 01:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471646941 https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471669623 in conclusion, fire is represented to be good and evil. good in a way that it kept the people amused; seeing the flames in the nightsky, and also developing a fear in them. it’s also something the firemen were so used to. but towards the end, fire soon turned to something unpleasant. Montag, someone who used to find a pleasure in burning and destruction, used fire against people of his own. Bradbury wants to show us that gradually, fire is presented to be something conflicted and threatening.]]> 2021-04-29 01:12:33 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471669623 https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471703062 Therefore, fire can be both negative and postive. Although fire is used to burn and destroy things, there can be a positive side to it where it helps to protect people. It all depends on how you choose to use it. Towards the end of the book, Montag changed his perspective of fire. He used to find pleasure in burning, but he now is taking advantage of it. Hence, fire is something that should not be taken granted for.]]> 2021-04-29 01:25:34 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471703062 https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471713383 Thus, fire is presented as something that is positive and negative. It is presented positively as it helps in keeping citizens in check and ensure that they follow the law. However, it is negative as it is used to subtly mess with the minds of the people as the houses and books of the people are burned only at night. This goes to show that the government wants to send a warning to anyone who keeps books. At the start, fire seemed like an ally, but it slowly became a foe. Hence, fire is controversial. ]]> 2021-04-29 01:29:36 UTC https://padlet.com/syafiqrafid1/60bbe7wsw3cqlo89/wish/1471713383
