         <description><![CDATA[<div>"I'm the Queen bee, safe in the hive. you will be the drone, the traveling ear"(Bradbury 87).<br><br>Faber, illiterates himself to the queen, the controller and the mastermind, of the whole plan. As of now in the book, Guy is just a vessel if which justice can be served. he cannot think for himself&nbsp;yet, but he is the perfect person to make sure that books can be saved from complete desolation. Faber thinks of Guy as just a traveling judge, jury, and executioner, Faber seems like he doesn't care, but in their Society the way Faber is Acting is showing his care and need for Guy to perform well. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"'But that would just nibble the edges. The whole culture's shot through. The skeleton needs melting and reshaping.'" (Bradbury 83).&nbsp;<br><br>When talking about starting a literature revolution, Faber informs Montag that it's not as simple as rounding up all of the people who used to love books. The problem is perpetuated by society, because no one wants to read books anymore. Society is the skeleton to inside everyone's intentions, and because that skeleton is shaped in such a way that opposes&nbsp;books, it has to be destroyed and remade to make people want to read again. The current order needs to melt and burn, like it burns books, in order for people to stop rejecting books and for society to reform.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"Delicately, like the petals of a flower. Light the first page, light the second page. Each becomes a black butterfly. Beautiful, eh?" (Bradbury 72).<br>When Montag imagines Beatty talking about burning books, he imagines Beatty speaking with an insane passion, like a psychopath who is driven so far off the edge, that they have achieved perfect clarity. To Beatty, burning books gives him a sense of euphoria, causing him to describe the ashes as butterflies, which are inherently thought to be pretty and representative of nature.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“Montag reminded himself again that this was no fictional episode to be watched on his run to the river; it was in actuality his own chess game he was witnessing, move by move.” (Bradbury 131).&nbsp;<br>This metaphor is describing how Montag is used to only having this kind of excitement in the "fictional episodes" he watches. The world is so scary that there is no need to go outside however, now that he is exposed to the outside world he is playing his own "chess game". He must choose his next move and he must quickly make skillful desicions. He is no longer living through the fictional characters, he is on his own journey.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“His fingers were like ferrets that had done some evil and now never rested, always stirred and picked and hid in pockets, moving from under Beatty’s alcohol flame stare” (Bradbury 101).&nbsp;<br>The quote is taking place at the firehouse, shortly after the incident with Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Bowles, in which Montag reads a short poem to the women and as a result made them extremely upset. Montag realizes how dangerous it is for him to hide his secret of possessing books from Captain Beatty, a character described in the novel with one of the most immense hatreds for such books. The metaphor also implies how Montag is secretly and constantly doing more (such as hiding more books) that could get him arrested and into even more trouble, as someone who has “done some evil and now never rested… moving from under Beatty’s alcohol flame stare”. Montag is clearly taking a huge risk in having these objects that are directly breaking one of the most important laws in his dystopian society, yet is willing to take these risks in order to preserve these books which&nbsp; contain so much meaning and worth to him.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"he could see the helicopters falling falling like the first flakes of snow in the long winter to come"(Bradbury 123).<br>As Montag is running away, he is confronted with many impediments and obstacles. The helicopters looking for him, is only one of the many problems he is facing. As the helicopters slowly glide in search for Montag, he realizes that his journey will be very tedious and will require a lot of caution. Otherwise, the helicopters will easily find him. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"Some were missing and he knew that she had started on her own slow process of dispersing the dynamite in her house, stick by stick." (Bradbury 98)&nbsp;<br><br>Montag knows that Mildred is getting rid of the books slowly but surely, behind his back. These books are being compared to dynamite. Mildred knows that, if their house is caught on fire, it would be because of the books, similar to how dynamite can be the root cause of a fire igniting, hence the comparison. The objective of this metaphor is to demonstrate Mildred's comparison of a highly explosive object to books - and how she thinks of them as equally dangerous and a cause of the same effect - fire.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"When we had all the books we needed, we still insisted on finding the highest cliff to jump off. .. We do need knowledge. And perhaps in a thousand years we might pick smaller cliffs to jump off. The books<br>are to remind us what asses and fools we are" (Bradbury 82).&nbsp;<br><br>Montag is still learning from the books and he does not yet understand, but Faber tries to explain to him the mistakes of the past.&nbsp; Mistakes are like cliffs, the larger the mistake the longer the fall Humans continue to jump from cliffs, make mistakes, and refuse to learn from the past. But books allow people to see their error. The human race will always have faults, but in the future it is possible that we can minimize our faults.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"His fingers were like ferrets that had done some evil and now never rested, always stirred and picked and hid in pockets" (Bradbury 101). Montag's shocking response to Beatty's force results in him burning Beatty alive. Montag experiences denial after murdering Beatty, claiming that it wasn't his actions, but the action of his hands. He compares his hands to ferrets, and how the evil of his hands resulted in such a tragedy. Montag's newfound knowledge fails to help him take accountability for his actions.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"There sat Beatty, perspiring gently, the floor littered with swarms of black moths that had died in a single storm" (Bradbury 73).<br>The burnt books are being described in this quote. Each page that is lit by fire becomes black and floats through the air, similar to a black moth. The fire that burns the books is the "single storm," sweeping through the house and destroying all paper that it touches. The fire creates a swarm of black burnt pages, which look like dead, black moths. Captain Beatty is fittingly in the middle of it all, admiring his work with pride.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"There was a crash like the falling parts of a dream fashioned out of warped glass, mirrors, and crystal prisms." (pg.108)<br>Montag was surprised and disappointed when Mildred his wife ratted on him and left when they were burning his house. To him the person he trusted crushed his soul and left him alone in his time of need. Montag&nbsp;feels like his life has fallen apart because his secret has been discovered and there is no going back to save him.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"' The pains were spiked driven up his kneecap and then only darning needles and then only common ordinary pins."(Bradbury 117). In the moment, Montags fear causes him to freeze in disbelief. Although physically he is not hurt and is capable of running, he is in such shock of killing Beatty that he needs a second to process what happened. Montags shock of the situation causes him to sit still, as if his legs were paralyzed, instead of making a run for it.&nbsp;Overtime, the pains in his legs change to be slightly more bearable. it;s as if his legs go from feeling like they were being stabbed numerous times, to just having the pins and needles effect, the feelings you get from sitting in the same spot for too long. When the pain decreases, it allows Montag to get up and run to safety.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp;"The train radio vomited upon Montag... The people pounded into submission; they did not run, there was no place to run; the great air train fell down its shaft in the earth" (Bradbury 75).<br>In a society based merely off the influence of telecommunication and lack of social intercommunication&nbsp; Montag conveys the stress from listening to a radio blasting on the train which creates rebellion due to discovering self reliance. Montag expresses individuality despite the foreseen consequences, by becoming agitated and reading the bible on the bus. Not only does that break the law but goes against the conformity of censored knowledge in society. When everyone in society becoming submissive to what whatever the government commands, by Montag willfully rebelling creates a hysteria and dumbfound interpretation depicted in society.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"He saw Faber stop up his own breath for fear of drawing that ghost into his own body, perhaps, being contaminated with the phantom exhalations and odors of a running man" (127). This metaphor is bringing the thought of fear into Faber's life. Montag was near Faber and he was clearly a fugitive. Faber didn't want to take part of this man chase because he knew it could affect his life. He didn't want to take in "oders" of this ghost which Montag represents. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"The room was blazing hot, he was all fire, he was all coldness; they sat in the middle of an empty desert with three chairs and him standing, swaying" (Bradbury 96). As Montag speaks he feels hot as hot as a desert because all eyes are on him. However, he also feels as cool as ice, because he feels confident. And these three woman sitting in their chairs are in an empty desert since they have nothing to fill their desert with. The desert is being compared to the womans minds which are empty. Their mind's have no thoughts of their own, only the thoughts of others</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"They rounded a corner in thunder and siren, with concussion of tires, with scream of rubber, with a shift of kerosene bulk in the glittery brass tank, like the food in the stomach of a giant" (Bradbury 105).&nbsp;<br>Comparing the vehicle that the characters were in to food in an empty stomach of a giant helped to get the idea across that the vehicle was flying crazily all over the place, just as if there was food in the large empty stomach of a giant, that it would have a lot of space to wildly move around. This helps to make the car seem alive because it gives the reader the sense that the car has movements similar to that of a human, because the metaphor is comparing the nonliving car, to food in a living person.</div>]]></description>

Bradbury is trying to show the impact and the great force that the explosion had not only on the city, but as well as the men and Montag. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"She was beginning to shriek now, sitting there like a wax doll melting in its own heat." (Bradbury 72)<br>Mildred is referred to as a doll because of her relative lifelessness. She only experiences emotion and life by watching TV so therefore she has experienced very little life herself. However she is melting in her own heat in the same way that a toddler has a meltdown. Mildred herself is becoming hysterical and cannot think properly or reasonably because she is broken similarly to how a doll or machine overheats and then stops working<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"There was a crash like the falling parts of a dream fashioned out of warped glass, mirrors, and crystal prisms" (Bradbury 108).<br><br>This metaphor illustrates the destruction of Montag's life as he had known it. Though the crash is caused by Stoneman and Black breaking the windows in his house, in Montag's mind it is the shattering of the illusion of stability and happiness that he once believed in.With this comes the realization that his past life was twisted and ignorantly blissful; the "mirrors" and "warped glass" show his complete misinterpretation of the world prior to discovering literature. As Beatty and the firemen finally confront him  and his unaccepted behavior, Montag decides that he can never go back to how he was before and considers that dream shattered forever.</div>]]></description>

There was more than enough here to fill him. There would always be more than enough." (Bradbury 138). As Montag continues his journey through the train tracks, he becomes familiar with the area. Later on, he makes the conclusion that Clarisse was present in this area prior to him, making this path more recognizable. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"Beatty flopped over and over and over, and at last twisted in on himself like a charred wax doll and lay silent" (Bradbury 113). Beatty is expressed and compared to charred wax as he was able to be easily burned and melted just like wax that has been charred. Beatty was portrayed as easily flammable just like wax in comparison to all the books and houses he as burned, and once you understand that books are good and not wrong you become less flammable and you won't end up burning just like the rest of the society that believes the incorrect theory of books.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing that you were&nbsp; headed for the shore" (Bradbury 82). The metaphor by Faber compares the journey that Montag is  to him swimming to the shore in the sea. In both cases, he will try to succeed in what he wants. If he does not succeed, he will at least die knowing that he had the right intentions. This quote be Faber encourages Montag to do what Montag believes is right, no matter what the consequences may be.</div>]]></description>

The lawn-cutter might just as well not have been there at all; the gardener will be there a lifetime," (Bradbury 150).<br><br>This metaphor is describing a person who will be remembered versus a person who will be forgotten. When Montag asks himself what he gave to the city, all he can say is ashes. There is nothing that Montag will be remembered for after he dies besides the flames and destruction he has caused.</div>]]></description>

While Montag is being chased, he feels very worried, and the Hound only adds more fear and unsteadiness. It's as if the Hound is present but empty, and brings worry like wind does. The Hound was so swift that Montag couldn't hear or feel where exactly it was, which made Montag even more anxious .</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"There was a crash like the falling parts of a dream fashioned out of warped glass, mirrors, and crystal prisms" (Bradbury 108)<br>Bradbury's description of windows being shattered illustrates how Guy Montag realizes that his life has fallen apart in a short moment. The dream, or unbroken glass represents Montag's stable life he was able to have. Even though Montag violated law by reading books, he was still able to have a job and live in a home. However, the crash comes when Beatty reveals his knowledge of Montag's books. Montag is now a crirminal and his house is going to be burned.  Montag knows that he can never return to his old life, which has fallen apart like shards of glass.</div>]]></description>

However, Montag believes that he is more powerful and can outsmart anyone. Beatty is similar to Caesar's guard in that he gives the allusion of siding with Montag.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"Faber sniffed the book. "Do you know that books smell like nutmeg or some spice from a foreign land? I loved to smell them when I was a boy"" (Bradbury 78). When commenting on the book, Faber says that it smells like a foreign spice. Faber is referring to the different exotic experiences received from different books. He enjoys reading these books because of what he learns from them, and as a child, he loved reading books, He believes that each book is special, and will each bring a different experience for the reader.</div>]]></description>

Books have life and could convey the meaning of the words that are contained in them. The more details a book has, the more value it has as it could teach the reader ideas and morals.

“Montag reminded himself again that this was no fictional episode to be watched on his run to the river; it was in actuality his own chess game he was witnessing, move by move.” (Bradbury 131). 
This metaphor is describing how Montag is used to only having this kind of excitement in the "fictional episodes" he watches. The world is so scary that there is no need to go outside however, now that he is exposed to the outside world he is playing his own "chess game". He must choose his next move and he must quickly make skillful desicions. He is no longer living through the fictional characters, he is on his own journey.

I agree that now that Montag's life has changed, it is important that he make clever choices now on his coming journey

(Thomas DeRuvo) I also agree, this world is centered around television screens and not the world outside of their houses

(Thomas DeRuvo) Montag realizes in real life, he has to step outside the reality on the screen and into the one he is in.

"he could see the helicopters falling falling like the first flakes of snow in the long winter to come"(Bradbury 123).
As Montag is running away, he is confronted with many impediments and obstacles. The helicopters looking for him, is only one of the many problems he is facing. As the helicopters slowly glide in search for Montag, he realizes that his journey will be very tedious and will require a lot of caution. Otherwise, the helicopters will easily find him.

"He saw Faber stop up his own breath for fear of drawing that ghost into his own body, perhaps, being contaminated with the phantom exhalations and odors of a running man" (127). This metaphor is bringing the thought of fear into Faber's life. Montag was near Faber and he was clearly a fugitive. Faber didn't want to take part of this man chase because he knew it could affect his life. He didn't want to take in "oders" of this ghost which Montag represents.

I also agree that there is conflict within Faber where he argues whether he values his or Montag's safety more

"He could feel the Hound, like autumn, come cold and dry and swift, like a wind that didn't stir grass, that didn't jar windows or disturb leaf shadows on the white sidewalks as it passed" (Bradbury 130). While Montag is being chased, he feels very worried, and the Hound only adds more fear and unsteadiness. It's as if the Hound is present but empty, and brings worry like wind does. The Hound was so swift that Montag couldn't hear or feel where exactly it was, which made Montag even more anxious .

To Beatty, burning books gives him a sense of euphoria, causing him to describe the ashes as butterflies, which are inherently thought to be pretty and representative of nature.favorite22 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 3yrI agree, the way Beatty talks about books and the manner at which she does, implies a deep, dark passion for the burning of books.Avatar of Anonymous 3yrVivek Kumar^^^Your avatarAdd commentZack Gill- MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrZack Gill- Metaphor&quot;She was beginning to shriek now, sitting there like a wax doll melting in its own heat.&quot; (Bradbury 72)Mildred is referred to as a doll because of her relative lifelessness. She only experiences emotion and life by watching TV so therefore she has experienced very little life herself. However she is melting in her own heat in the same way that a toddler has a meltdown.

Each page that is lit by fire becomes black and floats through the air, similar to a black moth. The fire that burns the books is the &quot;single storm,&quot; sweeping through the house and destroying all paper that it touches. The fire creates a swarm of black burnt pages, which look like dead, black moths. Captain Beatty is fittingly in the middle of it all, admiring his work with pride. favorite1Your avatarAdd commentMALCOLM LINNEHAN-HERRINGAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrMALCOLM LINNEHAN-HERRING &quot;The train radio vomited upon Montag... The people pounded into submission; they did not run, there was no place to run; the great air train fell down its shaft in the earth&quot; (Bradbury 75).In a society based merely off the influence of telecommunication and lack of social intercommunication  Montag conveys the stress from listening to a radio blasting on the train which creates rebellion due to discovering self reliance. Montag expresses individuality despite the foreseen consequences, by becoming agitated and reading the bible on the bus. Not only does that break the law but goes against the conformity of censored knowledge in society. When everyone in society becoming submissive to what whatever the government commands, by Montag willfully rebelling creates a hysteria and dumbfound interpretation depicted in society. favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentAtharva AcharyaAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAtharva Acharyafavorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentKyle WangAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrKyle Wang&quot;Faber sniffed the book. &quot;Do you know that books smell like nutmeg or some spice from a foreign land?

Faber is referring to the different exotic experiences received from different books. He enjoys reading these books because of what he learns from them, and as a child, he loved reading books, He believes that each book is special, and will each bring a different experience for the reader.favorite2Your avatarAdd commentAtharva AcharyaAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAtharva Acharya&quot;The book can go under the microscope.

Books have life and could convey the meaning of the words that are contained in them. The more details a book has, the more value it has as it could teach the reader ideas and morals.

When talking about starting a literature revolution, Faber informs Montag that it&#39;s not as simple as rounding up all of the people who used to love books. The problem is perpetuated by society, because no one wants to read books anymore. Society is the skeleton to inside everyone&#39;s intentions, and because that skeleton is shaped in such a way that opposes books, it has to be destroyed and remade to make people want to read again. The current order needs to melt and burn, like it burns books, in order for people to stop rejecting books and for society to reform.favorite2Your avatarAdd commentHelena BeshayAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrHelena Beshay &quot;When we had all the books we needed, we still insisted on finding the highest cliff to jump off. ..

Montag is still learning from the books and he does not yet understand, but Faber tries to explain to him the mistakes of the past.  Mistakes are like cliffs, the larger the mistake the longer the fall Humans continue to jump from cliffs, make mistakes, and refuse to learn from the past. But books allow people to see their error. The human race will always have faults, but in the future it is possible that we can minimize our faults.favorite_border03 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 3moadd me on snap @lyd470Avatar of Anonymous 3mofllow me on instaAvatar of Anonymous 3mo@_thatsryleigh_Your avatarAdd commentSiddhartha RaoAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrSiddhartha Rao&quot;Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing that you were  headed for the shore&quot; (Bradbury 82).

If he does not succeed, he will at least die knowing that he had the right intentions.

However, Montag believes that he is more powerful and can outsmart anyone. Beatty is similar to Caesar&#39;s guard in that he gives the allusion of siding with Montag.

The quote is taking place at the firehouse, shortly after the incident with Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Bowles, in which Montag reads a short poem to the women and as a result made them extremely upset. Montag realizes how dangerous it is for him to hide his secret of possessing books from Captain Beatty, a character described in the novel with one of the most immense hatreds for such books. The metaphor also implies how Montag is secretly and constantly doing more (such as hiding more books) that could get him arrested and into even more trouble, as someone who has “done some evil and now never rested… moving from under Beatty’s alcohol flame stare”. Montag is clearly taking a huge risk in having these objects that are directly breaking one of the most important laws in his dystopian society, yet is willing to take these risks in order to preserve these books which  contain so much meaning and worth to him. favorite1Your avatarAdd commentAnahita Sheriyarji - MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAnahita Sheriyarji - Metaphor&quot;Some were missing and he knew that she had started on her own slow process of dispersing the dynamite in her house, stick by stick.&quot; (Bradbury 98) Montag knows that Mildred is getting rid of the books slowly but surely, behind his back. These books are being compared to dynamite. Mildred knows that, if their house is caught on fire, it would be because of the books, similar to how dynamite can be the root cause of a fire igniting, hence the comparison. The objective of this metaphor is to demonstrate Mildred&#39;s comparison of a highly explosive object to books - and how she thinks of them as equally dangerous and a cause of the same effect - fire. favorite_border01 commentAvatar of Krish DesaiKrish Desai 3yrKrish Desai: I agree that the books represent dynamite, but I think it&#39;s because dynamite is a dangerous, flammable, explosive substance that you would not keep in the house in fear of your life, and Mildred sees the books in exactly the same way - they&#39;re dangerous and could bring ruin down upon her life.Your avatarAdd commentMetaphorAvatar of Kathryn BartramKathryn Bartram3yrMetaphor&quot;The room was blazing hot, he was all fire, he was all coldness; they sat in the middle of an empty desert with three chairs and him standing, swaying&quot; (Bradbury 96). As Montag speaks he feels hot as hot as a desert because all eyes are on him. However, he also feels as cool as ice, because he feels confident. And these three woman sitting in their chairs are in an empty desert since they have nothing to fill their desert with. The desert is being compared to the womans minds which are empty.

Comparing the vehicle that the characters were in to food in an empty stomach of a giant helped to get the idea across that the vehicle was flying crazily all over the place, just as if there was food in the large empty stomach of a giant, that it would have a lot of space to wildly move around. This helps to make the car seem alive because it gives the reader the sense that the car has movements similar to that of a human, because the metaphor is comparing the nonliving car, to food in a living person.favorite11 commentAvatar of ERIC SODERERIC SODER 3yrHow does it make the car seem more alive?Your avatarAdd commentVivek Kumar - MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrVivek Kumar - Metaphor&quot;His fingers were like ferrets that had done some evil and now never rested, always stirred and picked and hid in pockets&quot; (Bradbury 101). Montag&#39;s shocking response to Beatty&#39;s force results in him burning Beatty alive. Montag experiences denial after murdering Beatty, claiming that it wasn&#39;t his actions, but the action of his hands. He compares his hands to ferrets, and how the evil of his hands resulted in such a tragedy.

In the moment, Montags fear causes him to freeze in disbelief. Although physically he is not hurt and is capable of running, he is in such shock of killing Beatty that he needs a second to process what happened. Montags shock of the situation causes him to sit still, as if his legs were paralyzed, instead of making a run for it. Overtime, the pains in his legs change to be slightly more bearable. it;s as if his legs go from feeling like they were being stabbed numerous times, to just having the pins and needles effect, the feelings you get from sitting in the same spot for too long.

Though the crash is caused by Stoneman and Black breaking the windows in his house, in Montag&#39;s mind it is the shattering of the illusion of stability and happiness that he once believed in.With this comes the realization that his past life was twisted and ignorantly blissful; the &quot;mirrors&quot; and &quot;warped glass&quot; show his complete misinterpretation of the world prior to discovering literature.

"Delicately, like the petals of a flower. Light the first page, light the second page. Each becomes a black butterfly. Beautiful, eh?" (Bradbury 72).
When Montag imagines Beatty talking about burning books, he imagines Beatty speaking with an insane passion, like a psychopath who is driven so far off the edge, that they have achieved perfect clarity. To Beatty, burning books gives him a sense of euphoria, causing him to describe the ashes as butterflies, which are inherently thought to be pretty and representative of nature.

"She was beginning to shriek now, sitting there like a wax doll melting in its own heat." (Bradbury 72)
Mildred is referred to as a doll because of her relative lifelessness. She only experiences emotion and life by watching TV so therefore she has experienced very little life herself. However she is melting in her own heat in the same way that a toddler has a meltdown. Mildred herself is becoming hysterical and cannot think properly or reasonably because she is broken similarly to how a doll or machine overheats and then stops working

"There sat Beatty, perspiring gently, the floor littered with swarms of black moths that had died in a single storm" (Bradbury 73).
The burnt books are being described in this quote. Each page that is lit by fire becomes black and floats through the air, similar to a black moth. The fire that burns the books is the "single storm," sweeping through the house and destroying all paper that it touches. The fire creates a swarm of black burnt pages, which look like dead, black moths. Captain Beatty is fittingly in the middle of it all, admiring his work with pride.

 "The train radio vomited upon Montag... The people pounded into submission; they did not run, there was no place to run; the great air train fell down its shaft in the earth" (Bradbury 75).
In a society based merely off the influence of telecommunication and lack of social intercommunication  Montag conveys the stress from listening to a radio blasting on the train which creates rebellion due to discovering self reliance. Montag expresses individuality despite the foreseen consequences, by becoming agitated and reading the bible on the bus. Not only does that break the law but goes against the conformity of censored knowledge in society. When everyone in society becoming submissive to what whatever the government commands, by Montag willfully rebelling creates a hysteria and dumbfound interpretation depicted in society.

"Faber sniffed the book. "Do you know that books smell like nutmeg or some spice from a foreign land? I loved to smell them when I was a boy"" (Bradbury 78). When commenting on the book, Faber says that it smells like a foreign spice. Faber is referring to the different exotic experiences received from different books. He enjoys reading these books because of what he learns from them, and as a child, he loved reading books, He believes that each book is special, and will each bring a different experience for the reader.

"The book can go under the microscope. You'd find life under the glass streaming past infinite profusion. The more pores, the more truthfully recorded details of life per square inch you can get on a sheet of paper" (Bradbury 79).
Faber refers to books as pieces that could be analysed as they are like specimens. Books have life and could convey the meaning of the words that are contained in them. The more details a book has, the more value it has as it could teach the reader ideas and morals. In this society, books with pores are despised as they can spark a person's imagination that societies doesn't want.

"I'm the Queen bee, safe in the hive. you will be the drone, the traveling ear"(Bradbury 87).

Faber, illiterates himself to the queen, the controller and the mastermind, of the whole plan. As of now in the book, Guy is just a vessel if which justice can be served. he cannot think for himself yet, but he is the perfect person to make sure that books can be saved from complete desolation. Faber thinks of Guy as just a traveling judge, jury, and executioner, Faber seems like he doesn't care, but in their Society the way Faber is Acting is showing his care and need for Guy to perform well.

Dias - Metaphor + Explanation
"'But that would just nibble the edges. The whole culture's shot through. The skeleton needs melting and reshaping.'" (Bradbury 83). 

When talking about starting a literature revolution, Faber informs Montag that it's not as simple as rounding up all of the people who used to love books. The problem is perpetuated by society, because no one wants to read books anymore. Society is the skeleton to inside everyone's intentions, and because that skeleton is shaped in such a way that opposes books, it has to be destroyed and remade to make people want to read again. The current order needs to melt and burn, like it burns books, in order for people to stop rejecting books and for society to reform.

"When we had all the books we needed, we still insisted on finding the highest cliff to jump off. .. We do need knowledge. And perhaps in a thousand years we might pick smaller cliffs to jump off. The books
are to remind us what asses and fools we are" (Bradbury 82). 

Montag is still learning from the books and he does not yet understand, but Faber tries to explain to him the mistakes of the past.  Mistakes are like cliffs, the larger the mistake the longer the fall Humans continue to jump from cliffs, make mistakes, and refuse to learn from the past. But books allow people to see their error. The human race will always have faults, but in the future it is possible that we can minimize our faults.

"Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing that you were  headed for the shore" (Bradbury 82). The metaphor by Faber compares the journey that Montag is  to him swimming to the shore in the sea. In both cases, he will try to succeed in what he wants. If he does not succeed, he will at least die knowing that he had the right intentions. This quote be Faber encourages Montag to do what Montag believes is right, no matter what the consequences may be.

"They're Caesar's praetorian guard, whispering as the parade roars down the avenue, 'Remember, Caesar, thou art mortal.'

Like Caesar, Montag is human and not superior to anyone else. However, Montag believes that he is more powerful and can outsmart anyone. Beatty is similar to Caesar's guard in that he gives the allusion of siding with Montag. However, Montag needs to listen to the "whispering", watch his back, and realize that he is a wanted, mortal man.

“His fingers were like ferrets that had done some evil and now never rested, always stirred and picked and hid in pockets, moving from under Beatty’s alcohol flame stare” (Bradbury 101). 
The quote is taking place at the firehouse, shortly after the incident with Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Bowles, in which Montag reads a short poem to the women and as a result made them extremely upset. Montag realizes how dangerous it is for him to hide his secret of possessing books from Captain Beatty, a character described in the novel with one of the most immense hatreds for such books. The metaphor also implies how Montag is secretly and constantly doing more (such as hiding more books) that could get him arrested and into even more trouble, as someone who has “done some evil and now never rested… moving from under Beatty’s alcohol flame stare”. Montag is clearly taking a huge risk in having these objects that are directly breaking one of the most important laws in his dystopian society, yet is willing to take these risks in order to preserve these books which  contain so much meaning and worth to him.

"Some were missing and he knew that she had started on her own slow process of dispersing the dynamite in her house, stick by stick." (Bradbury 98) 

Montag knows that Mildred is getting rid of the books slowly but surely, behind his back. These books are being compared to dynamite. Mildred knows that, if their house is caught on fire, it would be because of the books, similar to how dynamite can be the root cause of a fire igniting, hence the comparison. The objective of this metaphor is to demonstrate Mildred's comparison of a highly explosive object to books - and how she thinks of them as equally dangerous and a cause of the same effect - fire.

Krish Desai: I agree that the books represent dynamite, but I think it's because dynamite is a dangerous, flammable, explosive substance that you would not keep in the house in fear of your life, and Mildred sees the books in exactly the same way - they're dangerous and could bring ruin down upon her life.

"The room was blazing hot, he was all fire, he was all coldness; they sat in the middle of an empty desert with three chairs and him standing, swaying" (Bradbury 96). As Montag speaks he feels hot as hot as a desert because all eyes are on him. However, he also feels as cool as ice, because he feels confident. And these three woman sitting in their chairs are in an empty desert since they have nothing to fill their desert with. The desert is being compared to the womans minds which are empty. Their mind's have no thoughts of their own, only the thoughts of others

"They rounded a corner in thunder and siren, with concussion of tires, with scream of rubber, with a shift of kerosene bulk in the glittery brass tank, like the food in the stomach of a giant" (Bradbury 105). 
Comparing the vehicle that the characters were in to food in an empty stomach of a giant helped to get the idea across that the vehicle was flying crazily all over the place, just as if there was food in the large empty stomach of a giant, that it would have a lot of space to wildly move around. This helps to make the car seem alive because it gives the reader the sense that the car has movements similar to that of a human, because the metaphor is comparing the nonliving car, to food in a living person.

"His fingers were like ferrets that had done some evil and now never rested, always stirred and picked and hid in pockets" (Bradbury 101). Montag's shocking response to Beatty's force results in him burning Beatty alive. Montag experiences denial after murdering Beatty, claiming that it wasn't his actions, but the action of his hands. He compares his hands to ferrets, and how the evil of his hands resulted in such a tragedy. Montag's newfound knowledge fails to help him take accountability for his actions.

"' The pains were spiked driven up his kneecap and then only darning needles and then only common ordinary pins."(Bradbury 117). In the moment, Montags fear causes him to freeze in disbelief. Although physically he is not hurt and is capable of running, he is in such shock of killing Beatty that he needs a second to process what happened. Montags shock of the situation causes him to sit still, as if his legs were paralyzed, instead of making a run for it. Overtime, the pains in his legs change to be slightly more bearable. it;s as if his legs go from feeling like they were being stabbed numerous times, to just having the pins and needles effect, the feelings you get from sitting in the same spot for too long. When the pain decreases, it allows Montag to get up and run to safety.

"Beatty flopped over and over and over, and at last twisted in on himself like a charred wax doll and lay silent" (Bradbury 113). Beatty is expressed and compared to charred wax as he was able to be easily burned and melted just like wax that has been charred. Beatty was portrayed as easily flammable just like wax in comparison to all the books and houses he as burned, and once you understand that books are good and not wrong you become less flammable and you won't end up burning just like the rest of the society that believes the incorrect theory of books.

"There was a crash like the falling parts of a dream fashioned out of warped glass, mirrors, and crystal prisms." (pg.108)
Montag was surprised and disappointed when Mildred his wife ratted on him and left when they were burning his house. To him the person he trusted crushed his soul and left him alone in his time of need. Montag feels like his life has fallen apart because his secret has been discovered and there is no going back to save him.

"There was a crash like the falling parts of a dream fashioned out of warped glass, mirrors, and crystal prisms" (Bradbury 108)
Bradbury's description of windows being shattered illustrates how Guy Montag realizes that his life has fallen apart in a short moment. The dream, or unbroken glass represents Montag's stable life he was able to have. Even though Montag violated law by reading books, he was still able to have a job and live in a home. However, the crash comes when Beatty reveals his knowledge of Montag's books. Montag is now a crirminal and his house is going to be burned.  Montag knows that he can never return to his old life, which has fallen apart like shards of glass.

"There was a crash like the falling parts of a dream fashioned out of warped glass, mirrors, and crystal prisms" (Bradbury 108).

This metaphor illustrates the destruction of Montag's life as he had known it. Though the crash is caused by Stoneman and Black breaking the windows in his house, in Montag's mind it is the shattering of the illusion of stability and happiness that he once believed in.With this comes the realization that his past life was twisted and ignorantly blissful; the "mirrors" and "warped glass" show his complete misinterpretation of the world prior to discovering literature. As Beatty and the firemen finally confront him  and his unaccepted behavior, Montag decides that he can never go back to how he was before and considers that dream shattered forever.

"The books leapt and danced like roasted birds, their wings ablaze with red and yellow feathers" (Bradbury 110).  

The book represents the roasted bird and the pages represent the wings of the bird.  When the pages catch fire, red and yellow flames slowly burn the pages and represent the yellow and red feathers.

"And there on the  small screen was the burnt house , and the crowd and something with a sheet  over it and out of the sky, fluttering, came the helicopter like a grotesque flower"(Bradbury 127).

The way in which the  helicopter was moving was like a flower in the way that a flower moves about in the wind. The figure of the helicopter was also ugly and didn't  look too appealing as it  moved across the sky.

“Montag reminded himself again that this was no fictional episode to be watched on his run to the river; it was in actuality his own chess game he was witnessing, move by move.” (Bradbury 131). 
This metaphor is describing how Montag is used to only having this kind of excitement in the "fictional episodes" he watches. The world is so scary that there is no need to go outside however, now that he is exposed to the outside world he is playing his own "chess game". He must choose his next move and he must quickly make skillful desicions. He is no longer living through the fictional characters, he is on his own journey.

"he could see the helicopters falling falling like the first flakes of snow in the long winter to come"(Bradbury 123).
As Montag is running away, he is confronted with many impediments and obstacles. The helicopters looking for him, is only one of the many problems he is facing. As the helicopters slowly glide in search for Montag, he realizes that his journey will be very tedious and will require a lot of caution. Otherwise, the helicopters will easily find him.

"He saw Faber stop up his own breath for fear of drawing that ghost into his own body, perhaps, being contaminated with the phantom exhalations and odors of a running man" (127). This metaphor is bringing the thought of fear into Faber's life. Montag was near Faber and he was clearly a fugitive. Faber didn't want to take part of this man chase because he knew it could affect his life. He didn't want to take in "oders" of this ghost which Montag represents.

"He could feel the Hound, like autumn, come cold and dry and swift, like a wind that didn't stir grass, that didn't jar windows or disturb leaf shadows on the white sidewalks as it passed" (Bradbury 130). While Montag is being chased, he feels very worried, and the Hound only adds more fear and unsteadiness. It's as if the Hound is present but empty, and brings worry like wind does. The Hound was so swift that Montag couldn't hear or feel where exactly it was, which made Montag even more anxious .

"The men lay gasping like fish laid out on the grass.They held to the earth as children hold to familiar things, no matter how cold or dead..."(Bradbury 154). 
This metaphor is symbolizing the effects  of the bombing that takes place in their society. Bradbury is trying to show the impact and the great force that the explosion had not only on the city, but as well as the men and Montag.

"He stood breathing, and the more he breathed the land in, the more he was filled up with all the details of the land. He was not empty. There was more than enough here to fill him. There would always be more than enough." (Bradbury 138). As Montag continues his journey through the train tracks, he becomes familiar with the area. Later on, he makes the conclusion that Clarisse was present in this area prior to him, making this path more recognizable.

Metaphor Thomas DeRuvo 
"The difference between the man who just cuts the lawns and a real gardener is in the touching, he said. The lawn-cutter might just as well not have been there at all; the gardener will be there a lifetime," (Bradbury 150).

This metaphor is describing a person who will be remembered versus a person who will be forgotten. When Montag asks himself what he gave to the city, all he can say is ashes. There is nothing that Montag will be remembered for after he dies besides the flames and destruction he has caused.

Beautiful, eh?&quot; (Bradbury 72).When Montag imagines Beatty talking about burning books, he imagines Beatty speaking with an insane passion, like a psychopath who is driven so far off the edge, that they have achieved perfect clarity. To Beatty, burning books gives him a sense of euphoria, causing him to describe the ashes as butterflies, which are inherently thought to be pretty and representative of nature.favorite22 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 3yrI agree, the way Beatty talks about books and the manner at which she does, implies a deep, dark passion for the burning of books.Avatar of Anonymous 3yrVivek Kumar^^^Your avatarAdd commentZack Gill- MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrZack Gill- Metaphor&quot;She was beginning to shriek now, sitting there like a wax doll melting in its own heat.&quot; (Bradbury 72)Mildred is referred to as a doll because of her relative lifelessness. She only experiences emotion and life by watching TV so therefore she has experienced very little life herself. However she is melting in her own heat in the same way that a toddler has a meltdown.

Each page that is lit by fire becomes black and floats through the air, similar to a black moth. The fire that burns the books is the &quot;single storm,&quot; sweeping through the house and destroying all paper that it touches. The fire creates a swarm of black burnt pages, which look like dead, black moths. Captain Beatty is fittingly in the middle of it all, admiring his work with pride. favorite1Your avatarAdd commentMALCOLM LINNEHAN-HERRINGAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrMALCOLM LINNEHAN-HERRING &quot;The train radio vomited upon Montag... The people pounded into submission; they did not run, there was no place to run; the great air train fell down its shaft in the earth&quot; (Bradbury 75).In a society based merely off the influence of telecommunication and lack of social intercommunication  Montag conveys the stress from listening to a radio blasting on the train which creates rebellion due to discovering self reliance. Montag expresses individuality despite the foreseen consequences, by becoming agitated and reading the bible on the bus. Not only does that break the law but goes against the conformity of censored knowledge in society. When everyone in society becoming submissive to what whatever the government commands, by Montag willfully rebelling creates a hysteria and dumbfound interpretation depicted in society. favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentAtharva AcharyaAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAtharva Acharyafavorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentKyle WangAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrKyle Wang&quot;Faber sniffed the book. &quot;Do you know that books smell like nutmeg or some spice from a foreign land?

Books have life and could convey the meaning of the words that are contained in them. The more details a book has, the more value it has as it could teach the reader ideas and morals.

When talking about starting a literature revolution, Faber informs Montag that it&#39;s not as simple as rounding up all of the people who used to love books. The problem is perpetuated by society, because no one wants to read books anymore. Society is the skeleton to inside everyone&#39;s intentions, and because that skeleton is shaped in such a way that opposes books, it has to be destroyed and remade to make people want to read again. The current order needs to melt and burn, like it burns books, in order for people to stop rejecting books and for society to reform.favorite2Your avatarAdd commentHelena BeshayAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrHelena Beshay &quot;When we had all the books we needed, we still insisted on finding the highest cliff to jump off. ..

Montag is still learning from the books and he does not yet understand, but Faber tries to explain to him the mistakes of the past.  Mistakes are like cliffs, the larger the mistake the longer the fall Humans continue to jump from cliffs, make mistakes, and refuse to learn from the past. But books allow people to see their error. The human race will always have faults, but in the future it is possible that we can minimize our faults.favorite_border03 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 3moadd me on snap @lyd470Avatar of Anonymous 3mofllow me on instaAvatar of Anonymous 3mo@_thatsryleigh_Your avatarAdd commentSiddhartha RaoAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrSiddhartha Rao&quot;Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing that you were  headed for the shore&quot; (Bradbury 82).

If he does not succeed, he will at least die knowing that he had the right intentions.

However, Montag believes that he is more powerful and can outsmart anyone. Beatty is similar to Caesar&#39;s guard in that he gives the allusion of siding with Montag. However, Montag needs to listen to the &quot;whispering&quot;, watch his back, and realize that he is a wanted, mortal man. favorite2Your avatarAdd commentadd3.

The quote is taking place at the firehouse, shortly after the incident with Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Bowles, in which Montag reads a short poem to the women and as a result made them extremely upset. Montag realizes how dangerous it is for him to hide his secret of possessing books from Captain Beatty, a character described in the novel with one of the most immense hatreds for such books. The metaphor also implies how Montag is secretly and constantly doing more (such as hiding more books) that could get him arrested and into even more trouble, as someone who has “done some evil and now never rested… moving from under Beatty’s alcohol flame stare”. Montag is clearly taking a huge risk in having these objects that are directly breaking one of the most important laws in his dystopian society, yet is willing to take these risks in order to preserve these books which  contain so much meaning and worth to him. favorite1Your avatarAdd commentAnahita Sheriyarji - MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAnahita Sheriyarji - Metaphor&quot;Some were missing and he knew that she had started on her own slow process of dispersing the dynamite in her house, stick by stick.&quot; (Bradbury 98) Montag knows that Mildred is getting rid of the books slowly but surely, behind his back. These books are being compared to dynamite. Mildred knows that, if their house is caught on fire, it would be because of the books, similar to how dynamite can be the root cause of a fire igniting, hence the comparison. The objective of this metaphor is to demonstrate Mildred&#39;s comparison of a highly explosive object to books - and how she thinks of them as equally dangerous and a cause of the same effect - fire. favorite_border01 commentAvatar of Krish DesaiKrish Desai 3yrKrish Desai: I agree that the books represent dynamite, but I think it&#39;s because dynamite is a dangerous, flammable, explosive substance that you would not keep in the house in fear of your life, and Mildred sees the books in exactly the same way - they&#39;re dangerous and could bring ruin down upon her life.Your avatarAdd commentMetaphorAvatar of Kathryn BartramKathryn Bartram3yrMetaphor&quot;The room was blazing hot, he was all fire, he was all coldness; they sat in the middle of an empty desert with three chairs and him standing, swaying&quot; (Bradbury 96). As Montag speaks he feels hot as hot as a desert because all eyes are on him. However, he also feels as cool as ice, because he feels confident. And these three woman sitting in their chairs are in an empty desert since they have nothing to fill their desert with. The desert is being compared to the womans minds which are empty.

Comparing the vehicle that the characters were in to food in an empty stomach of a giant helped to get the idea across that the vehicle was flying crazily all over the place, just as if there was food in the large empty stomach of a giant, that it would have a lot of space to wildly move around. This helps to make the car seem alive because it gives the reader the sense that the car has movements similar to that of a human, because the metaphor is comparing the nonliving car, to food in a living person.favorite11 commentAvatar of ERIC SODERERIC SODER 3yrHow does it make the car seem more alive?Your avatarAdd commentVivek Kumar - MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrVivek Kumar - Metaphor&quot;His fingers were like ferrets that had done some evil and now never rested, always stirred and picked and hid in pockets&quot; (Bradbury 101). Montag&#39;s shocking response to Beatty&#39;s force results in him burning Beatty alive. Montag experiences denial after murdering Beatty, claiming that it wasn&#39;t his actions, but the action of his hands. He compares his hands to ferrets, and how the evil of his hands resulted in such a tragedy. Montag&#39;s newfound knowledge fails to help him take accountability for his actions. favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentadd4.

In the moment, Montags fear causes him to freeze in disbelief. Although physically he is not hurt and is capable of running, he is in such shock of killing Beatty that he needs a second to process what happened. Montags shock of the situation causes him to sit still, as if his legs were paralyzed, instead of making a run for it. Overtime, the pains in his legs change to be slightly more bearable. it;s as if his legs go from feeling like they were being stabbed numerous times, to just having the pins and needles effect, the feelings you get from sitting in the same spot for too long. When the pain decreases, it allows Montag to get up and run to safety.favorite_border015 commentsAvatar of ERIC SODERERIC SODER 3yrHow is the pain in his leg changing?Avatar of Daniel GirgisDaniel Girgis 3yri like how you used his mental state to explain how he is feeling and how his feelings are controlling what he does.Avatar of Anonymous 1yri will beat the shit out of you mr. soderAvatar of Anonymous 1yr:)Avatar of Anonymous 1yriAvatar of Anonymous 1yri am someone n your classAvatar of Anonymous 1yrcan you guess?Avatar of Anonymous 8monoAvatar of Anonymous 3moYUPPPPPPPPPAvatar of Anonymous 3moget it sisAvatar of Anonymous 3momhmAvatar of Anonymous 3moypAvatar of Anonymous 3mojfwoAvatar of Anonymous 3modlnglnr&#39;Avatar of Anonymous 2moHey niggerYour avatarAdd commentPavly Tadrous - MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrPavly Tadrous - Metaphor &quot;Beatty flopped over and over and over, and at last twisted in on himself like a charred wax doll and lay silent&quot; (Bradbury 113).

Beatty was portrayed as easily flammable just like wax in comparison to all the books and houses he as burned, and once you understand that books are good and not wrong you become less flammable and you won&#39;t end up burning just like the rest of the society that believes the incorrect theory of books.favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentAmira ElabboudyAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAmira Elabboudy &quot;There was a crash like the falling parts of a dream fashioned out of warped glass, mirrors, and crystal prisms.&quot; (pg.108)Montag was surprised and disappointed when Mildred his wife ratted on him and left when they were burning his house.

Though the crash is caused by Stoneman and Black breaking the windows in his house, in Montag&#39;s mind it is the shattering of the illusion of stability and happiness that he once believed in.With this comes the realization that his past life was twisted and ignorantly blissful; the &quot;mirrors&quot; and &quot;warped glass&quot; show his complete misinterpretation of the world prior to discovering literature. As Beatty and the firemen finally confront him  and his unaccepted behavior, Montag decides that he can never go back to how he was before and considers that dream shattered forever.favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentNico LeeAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrNico Lee&quot;The books leapt and danced like roasted birds, their wings ablaze with red and yellow feathers&quot; (Bradbury 110).

Each becomes a black butterfly. Beautiful, eh?&quot; (Bradbury 72).When Montag imagines Beatty talking about burning books, he imagines Beatty speaking with an insane passion, like a psychopath who is driven so far off the edge, that they have achieved perfect clarity. To Beatty, burning books gives him a sense of euphoria, causing him to describe the ashes as butterflies, which are inherently thought to be pretty and representative of nature.favorite22 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 3yrI agree, the way Beatty talks about books and the manner at which she does, implies a deep, dark passion for the burning of books.Avatar of Anonymous 3yrVivek Kumar^^^Your avatarAdd commentZack Gill- MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrZack Gill- Metaphor&quot;She was beginning to shriek now, sitting there like a wax doll melting in its own heat.&quot; (Bradbury 72)Mildred is referred to as a doll because of her relative lifelessness. She only experiences emotion and life by watching TV so therefore she has experienced very little life herself. However she is melting in her own heat in the same way that a toddler has a meltdown. Mildred herself is becoming hysterical and cannot think properly or reasonably because she is broken similarly to how a doll or machine overheats and then stops workingfavorite1Your avatarAdd commentAngela PistilliAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAngela Pistilli&quot;There sat Beatty, perspiring gently, the floor littered with swarms of black moths that had died in a single storm&quot; (Bradbury 73).The burnt books are being described in this quote. Each page that is lit by fire becomes black and floats through the air, similar to a black moth. The fire that burns the books is the &quot;single storm,&quot; sweeping through the house and destroying all paper that it touches. The fire creates a swarm of black burnt pages, which look like dead, black moths. Captain Beatty is fittingly in the middle of it all, admiring his work with pride. favorite1Your avatarAdd commentMALCOLM LINNEHAN-HERRINGAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrMALCOLM LINNEHAN-HERRING &quot;The train radio vomited upon Montag... The people pounded into submission; they did not run, there was no place to run; the great air train fell down its shaft in the earth&quot; (Bradbury 75).In a society based merely off the influence of telecommunication and lack of social intercommunication  Montag conveys the stress from listening to a radio blasting on the train which creates rebellion due to discovering self reliance. Montag expresses individuality despite the foreseen consequences, by becoming agitated and reading the bible on the bus. Not only does that break the law but goes against the conformity of censored knowledge in society. When everyone in society becoming submissive to what whatever the government commands, by Montag willfully rebelling creates a hysteria and dumbfound interpretation depicted in society. favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentAtharva AcharyaAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAtharva Acharyafavorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentKyle WangAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrKyle Wang&quot;Faber sniffed the book. &quot;Do you know that books smell like nutmeg or some spice from a foreign land? I loved to smell them when I was a boy&quot;&quot; (Bradbury 78). When commenting on the book, Faber says that it smells like a foreign spice. Faber is referring to the different exotic experiences received from different books. He enjoys reading these books because of what he learns from them, and as a child, he loved reading books, He believes that each book is special, and will each bring a different experience for the reader.favorite2Your avatarAdd commentAtharva AcharyaAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAtharva Acharya&quot;The book can go under the microscope.

Books have life and could convey the meaning of the words that are contained in them. The more details a book has, the more value it has as it could teach the reader ideas and morals. In this society, books with pores are despised as they can spark a person&#39;s imagination that societies doesn&#39;t want. favorite1Your avatarAdd commentEmptyAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3mofavorite24 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 3molmao wOtAvatar of Anonymous 3mo++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Avatar of Anonymous 1mouhh i&#39;m just looking for some metaphors dude...Avatar of Anonymous 7dHa!!!Your avatarAdd commentadd2.

As of now in the book, Guy is just a vessel if which justice can be served. he cannot think for himself yet, but he is the perfect person to make sure that books can be saved from complete desolation.

The whole culture&#39;s shot through. The skeleton needs melting and reshaping.&#39;&quot; (Bradbury 83). When talking about starting a literature revolution, Faber informs Montag that it&#39;s not as simple as rounding up all of the people who used to love books. The problem is perpetuated by society, because no one wants to read books anymore. Society is the skeleton to inside everyone&#39;s intentions, and because that skeleton is shaped in such a way that opposes books, it has to be destroyed and remade to make people want to read again. The current order needs to melt and burn, like it burns books, in order for people to stop rejecting books and for society to reform.favorite2Your avatarAdd commentHelena BeshayAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrHelena Beshay &quot;When we had all the books we needed, we still insisted on finding the highest cliff to jump off. .. We do need knowledge. And perhaps in a thousand years we might pick smaller cliffs to jump off. The booksare to remind us what asses and fools we are&quot; (Bradbury 82). Montag is still learning from the books and he does not yet understand, but Faber tries to explain to him the mistakes of the past.  Mistakes are like cliffs, the larger the mistake the longer the fall Humans continue to jump from cliffs, make mistakes, and refuse to learn from the past. But books allow people to see their error. The human race will always have faults, but in the future it is possible that we can minimize our faults.favorite_border03 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 3moadd me on snap @lyd470Avatar of Anonymous 3mofllow me on instaAvatar of Anonymous 3mo@_thatsryleigh_Your avatarAdd commentSiddhartha RaoAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrSiddhartha Rao&quot;Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing that you were  headed for the shore&quot; (Bradbury 82). The metaphor by Faber compares the journey that Montag is  to him swimming to the shore in the sea. In both cases, he will try to succeed in what he wants. If he does not succeed, he will at least die knowing that he had the right intentions. This quote be Faber encourages Montag to do what Montag believes is right, no matter what the consequences may be.favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentJoseph RamnarineAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrJoseph Ramnarine&quot;They&#39;re Caesar&#39;s praetorian guard, whispering as the parade roars down the avenue, &#39;Remember, Caesar, thou art mortal.&#39;Like Caesar, Montag is human and not superior to anyone else. However, Montag believes that he is more powerful and can outsmart anyone. Beatty is similar to Caesar&#39;s guard in that he gives the allusion of siding with Montag. However, Montag needs to listen to the &quot;whispering&quot;, watch his back, and realize that he is a wanted, mortal man. favorite2Your avatarAdd commentadd3. The Sand and the Sieve: pages 93-106.Jordan Doss- MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrJordan Doss- Metaphor “His fingers were like ferrets that had done some evil and now never rested, always stirred and picked and hid in pockets, moving from under Beatty’s alcohol flame stare” (Bradbury 101). The quote is taking place at the firehouse, shortly after the incident with Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Bowles, in which Montag reads a short poem to the women and as a result made them extremely upset. Montag realizes how dangerous it is for him to hide his secret of possessing books from Captain Beatty, a character described in the novel with one of the most immense hatreds for such books. The metaphor also implies how Montag is secretly and constantly doing more (such as hiding more books) that could get him arrested and into even more trouble, as someone who has “done some evil and now never rested… moving from under Beatty’s alcohol flame stare”. Montag is clearly taking a huge risk in having these objects that are directly breaking one of the most important laws in his dystopian society, yet is willing to take these risks in order to preserve these books which  contain so much meaning and worth to him. favorite1Your avatarAdd commentAnahita Sheriyarji - MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAnahita Sheriyarji - Metaphor&quot;Some were missing and he knew that she had started on her own slow process of dispersing the dynamite in her house, stick by stick.&quot; (Bradbury 98) Montag knows that Mildred is getting rid of the books slowly but surely, behind his back. These books are being compared to dynamite. Mildred knows that, if their house is caught on fire, it would be because of the books, similar to how dynamite can be the root cause of a fire igniting, hence the comparison. The objective of this metaphor is to demonstrate Mildred&#39;s comparison of a highly explosive object to books - and how she thinks of them as equally dangerous and a cause of the same effect - fire. favorite_border01 commentAvatar of Krish DesaiKrish Desai 3yrKrish Desai: I agree that the books represent dynamite, but I think it&#39;s because dynamite is a dangerous, flammable, explosive substance that you would not keep in the house in fear of your life, and Mildred sees the books in exactly the same way - they&#39;re dangerous and could bring ruin down upon her life.Your avatarAdd commentMetaphorAvatar of Kathryn BartramKathryn Bartram3yrMetaphor&quot;The room was blazing hot, he was all fire, he was all coldness; they sat in the middle of an empty desert with three chairs and him standing, swaying&quot; (Bradbury 96). As Montag speaks he feels hot as hot as a desert because all eyes are on him. However, he also feels as cool as ice, because he feels confident. And these three woman sitting in their chairs are in an empty desert since they have nothing to fill their desert with. The desert is being compared to the womans minds which are empty. Their mind&#39;s have no thoughts of their own, only the thoughts of othersfavorite_border01 commentAvatar of ERIC SODERERIC SODER 3yrAn eardrum is an actual part of the body, and while the term is a metaphor, this would not be considered a literary metaphor for descriptive purposes.Your avatarAdd commentMichael Pepe- MetaphorAvatar of Michael PepeMichael Pepe3yrMichael Pepe- Metaphor&quot;They rounded a corner in thunder and siren, with concussion of tires, with scream of rubber, with a shift of kerosene bulk in the glittery brass tank, like the food in the stomach of a giant&quot; (Bradbury 105). Comparing the vehicle that the characters were in to food in an empty stomach of a giant helped to get the idea across that the vehicle was flying crazily all over the place, just as if there was food in the large empty stomach of a giant, that it would have a lot of space to wildly move around. This helps to make the car seem alive because it gives the reader the sense that the car has movements similar to that of a human, because the metaphor is comparing the nonliving car, to food in a living person.favorite11 commentAvatar of ERIC SODERERIC SODER 3yrHow does it make the car seem more alive?Your avatarAdd commentVivek Kumar - MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrVivek Kumar - Metaphor&quot;His fingers were like ferrets that had done some evil and now never rested, always stirred and picked and hid in pockets&quot; (Bradbury 101). Montag&#39;s shocking response to Beatty&#39;s force results in him burning Beatty alive. Montag experiences denial after murdering Beatty, claiming that it wasn&#39;t his actions, but the action of his hands. He compares his hands to ferrets, and how the evil of his hands resulted in such a tragedy. Montag&#39;s newfound knowledge fails to help him take accountability for his actions. favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentadd4. Burning Bright: pages 107-120.Laura BortnickAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrLaura Bortnick&quot;&#39; The pains were spiked driven up his kneecap and then only darning needles and then only common ordinary pins.&quot;(Bradbury 117). In the moment, Montags fear causes him to freeze in disbelief. Although physically he is not hurt and is capable of running, he is in such shock of killing Beatty that he needs a second to process what happened. Montags shock of the situation causes him to sit still, as if his legs were paralyzed, instead of making a run for it. Overtime, the pains in his legs change to be slightly more bearable. it;s as if his legs go from feeling like they were being stabbed numerous times, to just having the pins and needles effect, the feelings you get from sitting in the same spot for too long. When the pain decreases, it allows Montag to get up and run to safety.favorite_border015 commentsAvatar of ERIC SODERERIC SODER 3yrHow is the pain in his leg changing?Avatar of Daniel GirgisDaniel Girgis 3yri like how you used his mental state to explain how he is feeling and how his feelings are controlling what he does.Avatar of Anonymous 1yri will beat the shit out of you mr. soderAvatar of Anonymous 1yr:)Avatar of Anonymous 1yriAvatar of Anonymous 1yri am someone n your classAvatar of Anonymous 1yrcan you guess?Avatar of Anonymous 8monoAvatar of Anonymous 3moYUPPPPPPPPPAvatar of Anonymous 3moget it sisAvatar of Anonymous 3momhmAvatar of Anonymous 3moypAvatar of Anonymous 3mojfwoAvatar of Anonymous 3modlnglnr&#39;Avatar of Anonymous 2moHey niggerYour avatarAdd commentPavly Tadrous - MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrPavly Tadrous - Metaphor &quot;Beatty flopped over and over and over, and at last twisted in on himself like a charred wax doll and lay silent&quot; (Bradbury 113). Beatty is expressed and compared to charred wax as he was able to be easily burned and melted just like wax that has been charred. Beatty was portrayed as easily flammable just like wax in comparison to all the books and houses he as burned, and once you understand that books are good and not wrong you become less flammable and you won&#39;t end up burning just like the rest of the society that believes the incorrect theory of books.favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentAmira ElabboudyAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAmira Elabboudy &quot;There was a crash like the falling parts of a dream fashioned out of warped glass, mirrors, and crystal prisms.&quot; (pg.108)Montag was surprised and disappointed when Mildred his wife ratted on him and left when they were burning his house.

Though the crash is caused by Stoneman and Black breaking the windows in his house, in Montag&#39;s mind it is the shattering of the illusion of stability and happiness that he once believed in.With this comes the realization that his past life was twisted and ignorantly blissful; the &quot;mirrors&quot; and &quot;warped glass&quot; show his complete misinterpretation of the world prior to discovering literature. As Beatty and the firemen finally confront him  and his unaccepted behavior, Montag decides that he can never go back to how he was before and considers that dream shattered forever.favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentNico LeeAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrNico Lee&quot;The books leapt and danced like roasted birds, their wings ablaze with red and yellow feathers&quot; (Bradbury 110).

Each becomes a black butterfly. Beautiful, eh?&quot; (Bradbury 72).When Montag imagines Beatty talking about burning books, he imagines Beatty speaking with an insane passion, like a psychopath who is driven so far off the edge, that they have achieved perfect clarity. To Beatty, burning books gives him a sense of euphoria, causing him to describe the ashes as butterflies, which are inherently thought to be pretty and representative of nature.favorite22 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 3yrI agree, the way Beatty talks about books and the manner at which she does, implies a deep, dark passion for the burning of books.Avatar of Anonymous 3yrVivek Kumar^^^Your avatarAdd commentZack Gill- MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrZack Gill- Metaphor&quot;She was beginning to shriek now, sitting there like a wax doll melting in its own heat.&quot; (Bradbury 72)Mildred is referred to as a doll because of her relative lifelessness. She only experiences emotion and life by watching TV so therefore she has experienced very little life herself. However she is melting in her own heat in the same way that a toddler has a meltdown. Mildred herself is becoming hysterical and cannot think properly or reasonably because she is broken similarly to how a doll or machine overheats and then stops workingfavorite1Your avatarAdd commentAngela PistilliAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAngela Pistilli&quot;There sat Beatty, perspiring gently, the floor littered with swarms of black moths that had died in a single storm&quot; (Bradbury 73).The burnt books are being described in this quote. Each page that is lit by fire becomes black and floats through the air, similar to a black moth. The fire that burns the books is the &quot;single storm,&quot; sweeping through the house and destroying all paper that it touches. The fire creates a swarm of black burnt pages, which look like dead, black moths. Captain Beatty is fittingly in the middle of it all, admiring his work with pride. favorite1Your avatarAdd commentMALCOLM LINNEHAN-HERRINGAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrMALCOLM LINNEHAN-HERRING &quot;The train radio vomited upon Montag... The people pounded into submission; they did not run, there was no place to run; the great air train fell down its shaft in the earth&quot; (Bradbury 75).In a society based merely off the influence of telecommunication and lack of social intercommunication  Montag conveys the stress from listening to a radio blasting on the train which creates rebellion due to discovering self reliance. Montag expresses individuality despite the foreseen consequences, by becoming agitated and reading the bible on the bus. Not only does that break the law but goes against the conformity of censored knowledge in society. When everyone in society becoming submissive to what whatever the government commands, by Montag willfully rebelling creates a hysteria and dumbfound interpretation depicted in society. favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentAtharva AcharyaAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAtharva Acharyafavorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentKyle WangAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrKyle Wang&quot;Faber sniffed the book. &quot;Do you know that books smell like nutmeg or some spice from a foreign land? I loved to smell them when I was a boy&quot;&quot; (Bradbury 78). When commenting on the book, Faber says that it smells like a foreign spice. Faber is referring to the different exotic experiences received from different books. He enjoys reading these books because of what he learns from them, and as a child, he loved reading books, He believes that each book is special, and will each bring a different experience for the reader.favorite2Your avatarAdd commentAtharva AcharyaAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAtharva Acharya&quot;The book can go under the microscope.

Books have life and could convey the meaning of the words that are contained in them. The more details a book has, the more value it has as it could teach the reader ideas and morals. In this society, books with pores are despised as they can spark a person&#39;s imagination that societies doesn&#39;t want. favorite1Your avatarAdd commentEmptyAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3mofavorite24 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 3molmao wOtAvatar of Anonymous 3mo++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Avatar of Anonymous 1mouhh i&#39;m just looking for some metaphors dude...Avatar of Anonymous 7dHa!!!Your avatarAdd commentadd2.

As of now in the book, Guy is just a vessel if which justice can be served. he cannot think for himself yet, but he is the perfect person to make sure that books can be saved from complete desolation.

The whole culture&#39;s shot through. The skeleton needs melting and reshaping.&#39;&quot; (Bradbury 83). When talking about starting a literature revolution, Faber informs Montag that it&#39;s not as simple as rounding up all of the people who used to love books. The problem is perpetuated by society, because no one wants to read books anymore. Society is the skeleton to inside everyone&#39;s intentions, and because that skeleton is shaped in such a way that opposes books, it has to be destroyed and remade to make people want to read again. The current order needs to melt and burn, like it burns books, in order for people to stop rejecting books and for society to reform.favorite2Your avatarAdd commentHelena BeshayAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrHelena Beshay &quot;When we had all the books we needed, we still insisted on finding the highest cliff to jump off. .. We do need knowledge. And perhaps in a thousand years we might pick smaller cliffs to jump off. The booksare to remind us what asses and fools we are&quot; (Bradbury 82). Montag is still learning from the books and he does not yet understand, but Faber tries to explain to him the mistakes of the past.  Mistakes are like cliffs, the larger the mistake the longer the fall Humans continue to jump from cliffs, make mistakes, and refuse to learn from the past. But books allow people to see their error. The human race will always have faults, but in the future it is possible that we can minimize our faults.favorite_border03 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 3moadd me on snap @lyd470Avatar of Anonymous 3mofllow me on instaAvatar of Anonymous 3mo@_thatsryleigh_Your avatarAdd commentSiddhartha RaoAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrSiddhartha Rao&quot;Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing that you were  headed for the shore&quot; (Bradbury 82). The metaphor by Faber compares the journey that Montag is  to him swimming to the shore in the sea. In both cases, he will try to succeed in what he wants. If he does not succeed, he will at least die knowing that he had the right intentions. This quote be Faber encourages Montag to do what Montag believes is right, no matter what the consequences may be.favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentJoseph RamnarineAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrJoseph Ramnarine&quot;They&#39;re Caesar&#39;s praetorian guard, whispering as the parade roars down the avenue, &#39;Remember, Caesar, thou art mortal.&#39;Like Caesar, Montag is human and not superior to anyone else. However, Montag believes that he is more powerful and can outsmart anyone. Beatty is similar to Caesar&#39;s guard in that he gives the allusion of siding with Montag. However, Montag needs to listen to the &quot;whispering&quot;, watch his back, and realize that he is a wanted, mortal man. favorite2Your avatarAdd commentadd3. The Sand and the Sieve: pages 93-106.Jordan Doss- MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrJordan Doss- Metaphor “His fingers were like ferrets that had done some evil and now never rested, always stirred and picked and hid in pockets, moving from under Beatty’s alcohol flame stare” (Bradbury 101). The quote is taking place at the firehouse, shortly after the incident with Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Bowles, in which Montag reads a short poem to the women and as a result made them extremely upset. Montag realizes how dangerous it is for him to hide his secret of possessing books from Captain Beatty, a character described in the novel with one of the most immense hatreds for such books. The metaphor also implies how Montag is secretly and constantly doing more (such as hiding more books) that could get him arrested and into even more trouble, as someone who has “done some evil and now never rested… moving from under Beatty’s alcohol flame stare”. Montag is clearly taking a huge risk in having these objects that are directly breaking one of the most important laws in his dystopian society, yet is willing to take these risks in order to preserve these books which  contain so much meaning and worth to him. favorite1Your avatarAdd commentAnahita Sheriyarji - MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAnahita Sheriyarji - Metaphor&quot;Some were missing and he knew that she had started on her own slow process of dispersing the dynamite in her house, stick by stick.&quot; (Bradbury 98) Montag knows that Mildred is getting rid of the books slowly but surely, behind his back. These books are being compared to dynamite. Mildred knows that, if their house is caught on fire, it would be because of the books, similar to how dynamite can be the root cause of a fire igniting, hence the comparison. The objective of this metaphor is to demonstrate Mildred&#39;s comparison of a highly explosive object to books - and how she thinks of them as equally dangerous and a cause of the same effect - fire. favorite_border01 commentAvatar of Krish DesaiKrish Desai 3yrKrish Desai: I agree that the books represent dynamite, but I think it&#39;s because dynamite is a dangerous, flammable, explosive substance that you would not keep in the house in fear of your life, and Mildred sees the books in exactly the same way - they&#39;re dangerous and could bring ruin down upon her life.Your avatarAdd commentMetaphorAvatar of Kathryn BartramKathryn Bartram3yrMetaphor&quot;The room was blazing hot, he was all fire, he was all coldness; they sat in the middle of an empty desert with three chairs and him standing, swaying&quot; (Bradbury 96). As Montag speaks he feels hot as hot as a desert because all eyes are on him. However, he also feels as cool as ice, because he feels confident. And these three woman sitting in their chairs are in an empty desert since they have nothing to fill their desert with. The desert is being compared to the womans minds which are empty. Their mind&#39;s have no thoughts of their own, only the thoughts of othersfavorite_border01 commentAvatar of ERIC SODERERIC SODER 3yrAn eardrum is an actual part of the body, and while the term is a metaphor, this would not be considered a literary metaphor for descriptive purposes.Your avatarAdd commentMichael Pepe- MetaphorAvatar of Michael PepeMichael Pepe3yrMichael Pepe- Metaphor&quot;They rounded a corner in thunder and siren, with concussion of tires, with scream of rubber, with a shift of kerosene bulk in the glittery brass tank, like the food in the stomach of a giant&quot; (Bradbury 105). Comparing the vehicle that the characters were in to food in an empty stomach of a giant helped to get the idea across that the vehicle was flying crazily all over the place, just as if there was food in the large empty stomach of a giant, that it would have a lot of space to wildly move around. This helps to make the car seem alive because it gives the reader the sense that the car has movements similar to that of a human, because the metaphor is comparing the nonliving car, to food in a living person.favorite11 commentAvatar of ERIC SODERERIC SODER 3yrHow does it make the car seem more alive?Your avatarAdd commentVivek Kumar - MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrVivek Kumar - Metaphor&quot;His fingers were like ferrets that had done some evil and now never rested, always stirred and picked and hid in pockets&quot; (Bradbury 101). Montag&#39;s shocking response to Beatty&#39;s force results in him burning Beatty alive. Montag experiences denial after murdering Beatty, claiming that it wasn&#39;t his actions, but the action of his hands. He compares his hands to ferrets, and how the evil of his hands resulted in such a tragedy. Montag&#39;s newfound knowledge fails to help him take accountability for his actions. favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentadd4. Burning Bright: pages 107-120.Laura BortnickAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrLaura Bortnick&quot;&#39; The pains were spiked driven up his kneecap and then only darning needles and then only common ordinary pins.&quot;(Bradbury 117). In the moment, Montags fear causes him to freeze in disbelief. Although physically he is not hurt and is capable of running, he is in such shock of killing Beatty that he needs a second to process what happened. Montags shock of the situation causes him to sit still, as if his legs were paralyzed, instead of making a run for it. Overtime, the pains in his legs change to be slightly more bearable. it;s as if his legs go from feeling like they were being stabbed numerous times, to just having the pins and needles effect, the feelings you get from sitting in the same spot for too long. When the pain decreases, it allows Montag to get up and run to safety.favorite_border015 commentsAvatar of ERIC SODERERIC SODER 3yrHow is the pain in his leg changing?Avatar of Daniel GirgisDaniel Girgis 3yri like how you used his mental state to explain how he is feeling and how his feelings are controlling what he does.Avatar of Anonymous 1yri will beat the shit out of you mr. soderAvatar of Anonymous 1yr:)Avatar of Anonymous 1yriAvatar of Anonymous 1yri am someone n your classAvatar of Anonymous 1yrcan you guess?Avatar of Anonymous 8monoAvatar of Anonymous 3moYUPPPPPPPPPAvatar of Anonymous 3moget it sisAvatar of Anonymous 3momhmAvatar of Anonymous 3moypAvatar of Anonymous 3mojfwoAvatar of Anonymous 3modlnglnr&#39;Avatar of Anonymous 2moHey niggerYour avatarAdd commentPavly Tadrous - MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrPavly Tadrous - Metaphor &quot;Beatty flopped over and over and over, and at last twisted in on himself like a charred wax doll and lay silent&quot; (Bradbury 113). Beatty is expressed and compared to charred wax as he was able to be easily burned and melted just like wax that has been charred. Beatty was portrayed as easily flammable just like wax in comparison to all the books and houses he as burned, and once you understand that books are good and not wrong you become less flammable and you won&#39;t end up burning just like the rest of the society that believes the incorrect theory of books.favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentAmira ElabboudyAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAmira Elabboudy &quot;There was a crash like the falling parts of a dream fashioned out of warped glass, mirrors, and crystal prisms.&quot; (pg.108)Montag was surprised and disappointed when Mildred his wife ratted on him and left when they were burning his house.

Though the crash is caused by Stoneman and Black breaking the windows in his house, in Montag&#39;s mind it is the shattering of the illusion of stability and happiness that he once believed in.With this comes the realization that his past life was twisted and ignorantly blissful; the &quot;mirrors&quot; and &quot;warped glass&quot; show his complete misinterpretation of the world prior to discovering literature. As Beatty and the firemen finally confront him  and his unaccepted behavior, Montag decides that he can never go back to how he was before and considers that dream shattered forever.favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentNico LeeAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrNico Lee&quot;The books leapt and danced like roasted birds, their wings ablaze with red and yellow feathers&quot; (Bradbury 110).

Each becomes a black butterfly. Beautiful, eh?&quot; (Bradbury 72).When Montag imagines Beatty talking about burning books, he imagines Beatty speaking with an insane passion, like a psychopath who is driven so far off the edge, that they have achieved perfect clarity. To Beatty, burning books gives him a sense of euphoria, causing him to describe the ashes as butterflies, which are inherently thought to be pretty and representative of nature.favorite22 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 3yrI agree, the way Beatty talks about books and the manner at which she does, implies a deep, dark passion for the burning of books.Avatar of Anonymous 3yrVivek Kumar^^^Your avatarAdd commentZack Gill- MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrZack Gill- Metaphor&quot;She was beginning to shriek now, sitting there like a wax doll melting in its own heat.&quot; (Bradbury 72)Mildred is referred to as a doll because of her relative lifelessness. She only experiences emotion and life by watching TV so therefore she has experienced very little life herself. However she is melting in her own heat in the same way that a toddler has a meltdown. Mildred herself is becoming hysterical and cannot think properly or reasonably because she is broken similarly to how a doll or machine overheats and then stops workingfavorite1Your avatarAdd commentAngela PistilliAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAngela Pistilli&quot;There sat Beatty, perspiring gently, the floor littered with swarms of black moths that had died in a single storm&quot; (Bradbury 73).The burnt books are being described in this quote. Each page that is lit by fire becomes black and floats through the air, similar to a black moth. The fire that burns the books is the &quot;single storm,&quot; sweeping through the house and destroying all paper that it touches. The fire creates a swarm of black burnt pages, which look like dead, black moths. Captain Beatty is fittingly in the middle of it all, admiring his work with pride. favorite1Your avatarAdd commentMALCOLM LINNEHAN-HERRINGAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrMALCOLM LINNEHAN-HERRING &quot;The train radio vomited upon Montag... The people pounded into submission; they did not run, there was no place to run; the great air train fell down its shaft in the earth&quot; (Bradbury 75).In a society based merely off the influence of telecommunication and lack of social intercommunication  Montag conveys the stress from listening to a radio blasting on the train which creates rebellion due to discovering self reliance. Montag expresses individuality despite the foreseen consequences, by becoming agitated and reading the bible on the bus. Not only does that break the law but goes against the conformity of censored knowledge in society. When everyone in society becoming submissive to what whatever the government commands, by Montag willfully rebelling creates a hysteria and dumbfound interpretation depicted in society. favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentAtharva AcharyaAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAtharva Acharyafavorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentKyle WangAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrKyle Wang&quot;Faber sniffed the book. &quot;Do you know that books smell like nutmeg or some spice from a foreign land? I loved to smell them when I was a boy&quot;&quot; (Bradbury 78). When commenting on the book, Faber says that it smells like a foreign spice. Faber is referring to the different exotic experiences received from different books. He enjoys reading these books because of what he learns from them, and as a child, he loved reading books, He believes that each book is special, and will each bring a different experience for the reader.favorite2Your avatarAdd commentAtharva AcharyaAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAtharva Acharya&quot;The book can go under the microscope.

Books have life and could convey the meaning of the words that are contained in them. The more details a book has, the more value it has as it could teach the reader ideas and morals. In this society, books with pores are despised as they can spark a person&#39;s imagination that societies doesn&#39;t want. favorite1Your avatarAdd commentEmptyAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3mofavorite24 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 3molmao wOtAvatar of Anonymous 3mo++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Avatar of Anonymous 1mouhh i&#39;m just looking for some metaphors dude...Avatar of Anonymous 7dHa!!!Your avatarAdd commentadd2.

As of now in the book, Guy is just a vessel if which justice can be served. he cannot think for himself yet, but he is the perfect person to make sure that books can be saved from complete desolation.

The whole culture&#39;s shot through. The skeleton needs melting and reshaping.&#39;&quot; (Bradbury 83). When talking about starting a literature revolution, Faber informs Montag that it&#39;s not as simple as rounding up all of the people who used to love books. The problem is perpetuated by society, because no one wants to read books anymore. Society is the skeleton to inside everyone&#39;s intentions, and because that skeleton is shaped in such a way that opposes books, it has to be destroyed and remade to make people want to read again. The current order needs to melt and burn, like it burns books, in order for people to stop rejecting books and for society to reform.favorite2Your avatarAdd commentHelena BeshayAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrHelena Beshay &quot;When we had all the books we needed, we still insisted on finding the highest cliff to jump off. .. We do need knowledge. And perhaps in a thousand years we might pick smaller cliffs to jump off. The booksare to remind us what asses and fools we are&quot; (Bradbury 82). Montag is still learning from the books and he does not yet understand, but Faber tries to explain to him the mistakes of the past.  Mistakes are like cliffs, the larger the mistake the longer the fall Humans continue to jump from cliffs, make mistakes, and refuse to learn from the past. But books allow people to see their error. The human race will always have faults, but in the future it is possible that we can minimize our faults.favorite_border03 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 3moadd me on snap @lyd470Avatar of Anonymous 3mofllow me on instaAvatar of Anonymous 3mo@_thatsryleigh_Your avatarAdd commentSiddhartha RaoAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrSiddhartha Rao&quot;Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing that you were  headed for the shore&quot; (Bradbury 82). The metaphor by Faber compares the journey that Montag is  to him swimming to the shore in the sea. In both cases, he will try to succeed in what he wants. If he does not succeed, he will at least die knowing that he had the right intentions. This quote be Faber encourages Montag to do what Montag believes is right, no matter what the consequences may be.favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentJoseph RamnarineAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrJoseph Ramnarine&quot;They&#39;re Caesar&#39;s praetorian guard, whispering as the parade roars down the avenue, &#39;Remember, Caesar, thou art mortal.&#39;Like Caesar, Montag is human and not superior to anyone else. However, Montag believes that he is more powerful and can outsmart anyone. Beatty is similar to Caesar&#39;s guard in that he gives the allusion of siding with Montag. However, Montag needs to listen to the &quot;whispering&quot;, watch his back, and realize that he is a wanted, mortal man. favorite2Your avatarAdd commentadd3. The Sand and the Sieve: pages 93-106.Jordan Doss- MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrJordan Doss- Metaphor “His fingers were like ferrets that had done some evil and now never rested, always stirred and picked and hid in pockets, moving from under Beatty’s alcohol flame stare” (Bradbury 101). The quote is taking place at the firehouse, shortly after the incident with Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Bowles, in which Montag reads a short poem to the women and as a result made them extremely upset. Montag realizes how dangerous it is for him to hide his secret of possessing books from Captain Beatty, a character described in the novel with one of the most immense hatreds for such books. The metaphor also implies how Montag is secretly and constantly doing more (such as hiding more books) that could get him arrested and into even more trouble, as someone who has “done some evil and now never rested… moving from under Beatty’s alcohol flame stare”. Montag is clearly taking a huge risk in having these objects that are directly breaking one of the most important laws in his dystopian society, yet is willing to take these risks in order to preserve these books which  contain so much meaning and worth to him. favorite1Your avatarAdd commentAnahita Sheriyarji - MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAnahita Sheriyarji - Metaphor&quot;Some were missing and he knew that she had started on her own slow process of dispersing the dynamite in her house, stick by stick.&quot; (Bradbury 98) Montag knows that Mildred is getting rid of the books slowly but surely, behind his back. These books are being compared to dynamite. Mildred knows that, if their house is caught on fire, it would be because of the books, similar to how dynamite can be the root cause of a fire igniting, hence the comparison. The objective of this metaphor is to demonstrate Mildred&#39;s comparison of a highly explosive object to books - and how she thinks of them as equally dangerous and a cause of the same effect - fire. favorite_border01 commentAvatar of Krish DesaiKrish Desai 3yrKrish Desai: I agree that the books represent dynamite, but I think it&#39;s because dynamite is a dangerous, flammable, explosive substance that you would not keep in the house in fear of your life, and Mildred sees the books in exactly the same way - they&#39;re dangerous and could bring ruin down upon her life.Your avatarAdd commentMetaphorAvatar of Kathryn BartramKathryn Bartram3yrMetaphor&quot;The room was blazing hot, he was all fire, he was all coldness; they sat in the middle of an empty desert with three chairs and him standing, swaying&quot; (Bradbury 96). As Montag speaks he feels hot as hot as a desert because all eyes are on him. However, he also feels as cool as ice, because he feels confident. And these three woman sitting in their chairs are in an empty desert since they have nothing to fill their desert with. The desert is being compared to the womans minds which are empty. Their mind&#39;s have no thoughts of their own, only the thoughts of othersfavorite_border01 commentAvatar of ERIC SODERERIC SODER 3yrAn eardrum is an actual part of the body, and while the term is a metaphor, this would not be considered a literary metaphor for descriptive purposes.Your avatarAdd commentMichael Pepe- MetaphorAvatar of Michael PepeMichael Pepe3yrMichael Pepe- Metaphor&quot;They rounded a corner in thunder and siren, with concussion of tires, with scream of rubber, with a shift of kerosene bulk in the glittery brass tank, like the food in the stomach of a giant&quot; (Bradbury 105). Comparing the vehicle that the characters were in to food in an empty stomach of a giant helped to get the idea across that the vehicle was flying crazily all over the place, just as if there was food in the large empty stomach of a giant, that it would have a lot of space to wildly move around. This helps to make the car seem alive because it gives the reader the sense that the car has movements similar to that of a human, because the metaphor is comparing the nonliving car, to food in a living person.favorite11 commentAvatar of ERIC SODERERIC SODER 3yrHow does it make the car seem more alive?Your avatarAdd commentVivek Kumar - MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrVivek Kumar - Metaphor&quot;His fingers were like ferrets that had done some evil and now never rested, always stirred and picked and hid in pockets&quot; (Bradbury 101). Montag&#39;s shocking response to Beatty&#39;s force results in him burning Beatty alive. Montag experiences denial after murdering Beatty, claiming that it wasn&#39;t his actions, but the action of his hands. He compares his hands to ferrets, and how the evil of his hands resulted in such a tragedy. Montag&#39;s newfound knowledge fails to help him take accountability for his actions. favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentadd4. Burning Bright: pages 107-120.Laura BortnickAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrLaura Bortnick&quot;&#39; The pains were spiked driven up his kneecap and then only darning needles and then only common ordinary pins.&quot;(Bradbury 117). In the moment, Montags fear causes him to freeze in disbelief. Although physically he is not hurt and is capable of running, he is in such shock of killing Beatty that he needs a second to process what happened. Montags shock of the situation causes him to sit still, as if his legs were paralyzed, instead of making a run for it. Overtime, the pains in his legs change to be slightly more bearable. it;s as if his legs go from feeling like they were being stabbed numerous times, to just having the pins and needles effect, the feelings you get from sitting in the same spot for too long. When the pain decreases, it allows Montag to get up and run to safety.favorite_border015 commentsAvatar of ERIC SODERERIC SODER 3yrHow is the pain in his leg changing?Avatar of Daniel GirgisDaniel Girgis 3yri like how you used his mental state to explain how he is feeling and how his feelings are controlling what he does.Avatar of Anonymous 1yri will beat the shit out of you mr. soderAvatar of Anonymous 1yr:)Avatar of Anonymous 1yriAvatar of Anonymous 1yri am someone n your classAvatar of Anonymous 1yrcan you guess?Avatar of Anonymous 8monoAvatar of Anonymous 3moYUPPPPPPPPPAvatar of Anonymous 3moget it sisAvatar of Anonymous 3momhmAvatar of Anonymous 3moypAvatar of Anonymous 3mojfwoAvatar of Anonymous 3modlnglnr&#39;Avatar of Anonymous 2moHey niggerYour avatarAdd commentPavly Tadrous - MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrPavly Tadrous - Metaphor &quot;Beatty flopped over and over and over, and at last twisted in on himself like a charred wax doll and lay silent&quot; (Bradbury 113). Beatty is expressed and compared to charred wax as he was able to be easily burned and melted just like wax that has been charred. Beatty was portrayed as easily flammable just like wax in comparison to all the books and houses he as burned, and once you understand that books are good and not wrong you become less flammable and you won&#39;t end up burning just like the rest of the society that believes the incorrect theory of books.favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentAmira ElabboudyAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAmira Elabboudy &quot;There was a crash like the falling parts of a dream fashioned out of warped glass, mirrors, and crystal prisms.&quot; (pg.108)Montag was surprised and disappointed when Mildred his wife ratted on him and left when they were burning his house.

Though the crash is caused by Stoneman and Black breaking the windows in his house, in Montag&#39;s mind it is the shattering of the illusion of stability and happiness that he once believed in.With this comes the realization that his past life was twisted and ignorantly blissful; the &quot;mirrors&quot; and &quot;warped glass&quot; show his complete misinterpretation of the world prior to discovering literature. As Beatty and the firemen finally confront him  and his unaccepted behavior, Montag decides that he can never go back to how he was before and considers that dream shattered forever.favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentNico LeeAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrNico Lee&quot;The books leapt and danced like roasted birds, their wings ablaze with red and yellow feathers&quot; (Bradbury 110).

Each becomes a black butterfly. Beautiful, eh?&quot; (Bradbury 72).When Montag imagines Beatty talking about burning books, he imagines Beatty speaking with an insane passion, like a psychopath who is driven so far off the edge, that they have achieved perfect clarity. To Beatty, burning books gives him a sense of euphoria, causing him to describe the ashes as butterflies, which are inherently thought to be pretty and representative of nature.favorite22 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 3yrI agree, the way Beatty talks about books and the manner at which she does, implies a deep, dark passion for the burning of books.Avatar of Anonymous 3yrVivek Kumar^^^Your avatarAdd commentZack Gill- MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrZack Gill- Metaphor&quot;She was beginning to shriek now, sitting there like a wax doll melting in its own heat.&quot; (Bradbury 72)Mildred is referred to as a doll because of her relative lifelessness. She only experiences emotion and life by watching TV so therefore she has experienced very little life herself. However she is melting in her own heat in the same way that a toddler has a meltdown. Mildred herself is becoming hysterical and cannot think properly or reasonably because she is broken similarly to how a doll or machine overheats and then stops workingfavorite1Your avatarAdd commentAngela PistilliAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAngela Pistilli&quot;There sat Beatty, perspiring gently, the floor littered with swarms of black moths that had died in a single storm&quot; (Bradbury 73).The burnt books are being described in this quote. Each page that is lit by fire becomes black and floats through the air, similar to a black moth. The fire that burns the books is the &quot;single storm,&quot; sweeping through the house and destroying all paper that it touches. The fire creates a swarm of black burnt pages, which look like dead, black moths. Captain Beatty is fittingly in the middle of it all, admiring his work with pride. favorite1Your avatarAdd commentMALCOLM LINNEHAN-HERRINGAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrMALCOLM LINNEHAN-HERRING &quot;The train radio vomited upon Montag... The people pounded into submission; they did not run, there was no place to run; the great air train fell down its shaft in the earth&quot; (Bradbury 75).In a society based merely off the influence of telecommunication and lack of social intercommunication  Montag conveys the stress from listening to a radio blasting on the train which creates rebellion due to discovering self reliance. Montag expresses individuality despite the foreseen consequences, by becoming agitated and reading the bible on the bus. Not only does that break the law but goes against the conformity of censored knowledge in society. When everyone in society becoming submissive to what whatever the government commands, by Montag willfully rebelling creates a hysteria and dumbfound interpretation depicted in society. favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentAtharva AcharyaAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAtharva Acharyafavorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentKyle WangAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrKyle Wang&quot;Faber sniffed the book. &quot;Do you know that books smell like nutmeg or some spice from a foreign land? I loved to smell them when I was a boy&quot;&quot; (Bradbury 78). When commenting on the book, Faber says that it smells like a foreign spice. Faber is referring to the different exotic experiences received from different books. He enjoys reading these books because of what he learns from them, and as a child, he loved reading books, He believes that each book is special, and will each bring a different experience for the reader.favorite2Your avatarAdd commentAtharva AcharyaAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAtharva Acharya&quot;The book can go under the microscope.

Books have life and could convey the meaning of the words that are contained in them. The more details a book has, the more value it has as it could teach the reader ideas and morals. In this society, books with pores are despised as they can spark a person&#39;s imagination that societies doesn&#39;t want. favorite1Your avatarAdd commentEmptyAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3mofavorite24 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 3molmao wOtAvatar of Anonymous 3mo++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Avatar of Anonymous 1mouhh i&#39;m just looking for some metaphors dude...Avatar of Anonymous 7dHa!!!Your avatarAdd commentadd2.

As of now in the book, Guy is just a vessel if which justice can be served. he cannot think for himself yet, but he is the perfect person to make sure that books can be saved from complete desolation.

The whole culture&#39;s shot through. The skeleton needs melting and reshaping.&#39;&quot; (Bradbury 83). When talking about starting a literature revolution, Faber informs Montag that it&#39;s not as simple as rounding up all of the people who used to love books. The problem is perpetuated by society, because no one wants to read books anymore. Society is the skeleton to inside everyone&#39;s intentions, and because that skeleton is shaped in such a way that opposes books, it has to be destroyed and remade to make people want to read again. The current order needs to melt and burn, like it burns books, in order for people to stop rejecting books and for society to reform.favorite2Your avatarAdd commentHelena BeshayAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrHelena Beshay &quot;When we had all the books we needed, we still insisted on finding the highest cliff to jump off. .. We do need knowledge. And perhaps in a thousand years we might pick smaller cliffs to jump off. The booksare to remind us what asses and fools we are&quot; (Bradbury 82). Montag is still learning from the books and he does not yet understand, but Faber tries to explain to him the mistakes of the past.  Mistakes are like cliffs, the larger the mistake the longer the fall Humans continue to jump from cliffs, make mistakes, and refuse to learn from the past. But books allow people to see their error. The human race will always have faults, but in the future it is possible that we can minimize our faults.favorite_border03 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 3moadd me on snap @lyd470Avatar of Anonymous 3mofllow me on instaAvatar of Anonymous 3mo@_thatsryleigh_Your avatarAdd commentSiddhartha RaoAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrSiddhartha Rao&quot;Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing that you were  headed for the shore&quot; (Bradbury 82). The metaphor by Faber compares the journey that Montag is  to him swimming to the shore in the sea. In both cases, he will try to succeed in what he wants. If he does not succeed, he will at least die knowing that he had the right intentions. This quote be Faber encourages Montag to do what Montag believes is right, no matter what the consequences may be.favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentJoseph RamnarineAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrJoseph Ramnarine&quot;They&#39;re Caesar&#39;s praetorian guard, whispering as the parade roars down the avenue, &#39;Remember, Caesar, thou art mortal.&#39;Like Caesar, Montag is human and not superior to anyone else. However, Montag believes that he is more powerful and can outsmart anyone. Beatty is similar to Caesar&#39;s guard in that he gives the allusion of siding with Montag. However, Montag needs to listen to the &quot;whispering&quot;, watch his back, and realize that he is a wanted, mortal man. favorite2Your avatarAdd commentadd3. The Sand and the Sieve: pages 93-106.Jordan Doss- MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrJordan Doss- Metaphor “His fingers were like ferrets that had done some evil and now never rested, always stirred and picked and hid in pockets, moving from under Beatty’s alcohol flame stare” (Bradbury 101). The quote is taking place at the firehouse, shortly after the incident with Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Bowles, in which Montag reads a short poem to the women and as a result made them extremely upset. Montag realizes how dangerous it is for him to hide his secret of possessing books from Captain Beatty, a character described in the novel with one of the most immense hatreds for such books. The metaphor also implies how Montag is secretly and constantly doing more (such as hiding more books) that could get him arrested and into even more trouble, as someone who has “done some evil and now never rested… moving from under Beatty’s alcohol flame stare”. Montag is clearly taking a huge risk in having these objects that are directly breaking one of the most important laws in his dystopian society, yet is willing to take these risks in order to preserve these books which  contain so much meaning and worth to him. favorite1Your avatarAdd commentAnahita Sheriyarji - MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAnahita Sheriyarji - Metaphor&quot;Some were missing and he knew that she had started on her own slow process of dispersing the dynamite in her house, stick by stick.&quot; (Bradbury 98) Montag knows that Mildred is getting rid of the books slowly but surely, behind his back. These books are being compared to dynamite. Mildred knows that, if their house is caught on fire, it would be because of the books, similar to how dynamite can be the root cause of a fire igniting, hence the comparison. The objective of this metaphor is to demonstrate Mildred&#39;s comparison of a highly explosive object to books - and how she thinks of them as equally dangerous and a cause of the same effect - fire. favorite_border01 commentAvatar of Krish DesaiKrish Desai 3yrKrish Desai: I agree that the books represent dynamite, but I think it&#39;s because dynamite is a dangerous, flammable, explosive substance that you would not keep in the house in fear of your life, and Mildred sees the books in exactly the same way - they&#39;re dangerous and could bring ruin down upon her life.Your avatarAdd commentMetaphorAvatar of Kathryn BartramKathryn Bartram3yrMetaphor&quot;The room was blazing hot, he was all fire, he was all coldness; they sat in the middle of an empty desert with three chairs and him standing, swaying&quot; (Bradbury 96). As Montag speaks he feels hot as hot as a desert because all eyes are on him. However, he also feels as cool as ice, because he feels confident. And these three woman sitting in their chairs are in an empty desert since they have nothing to fill their desert with. The desert is being compared to the womans minds which are empty. Their mind&#39;s have no thoughts of their own, only the thoughts of othersfavorite_border01 commentAvatar of ERIC SODERERIC SODER 3yrAn eardrum is an actual part of the body, and while the term is a metaphor, this would not be considered a literary metaphor for descriptive purposes.Your avatarAdd commentMichael Pepe- MetaphorAvatar of Michael PepeMichael Pepe3yrMichael Pepe- Metaphor&quot;They rounded a corner in thunder and siren, with concussion of tires, with scream of rubber, with a shift of kerosene bulk in the glittery brass tank, like the food in the stomach of a giant&quot; (Bradbury 105). Comparing the vehicle that the characters were in to food in an empty stomach of a giant helped to get the idea across that the vehicle was flying crazily all over the place, just as if there was food in the large empty stomach of a giant, that it would have a lot of space to wildly move around. This helps to make the car seem alive because it gives the reader the sense that the car has movements similar to that of a human, because the metaphor is comparing the nonliving car, to food in a living person.favorite11 commentAvatar of ERIC SODERERIC SODER 3yrHow does it make the car seem more alive?Your avatarAdd commentVivek Kumar - MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrVivek Kumar - Metaphor&quot;His fingers were like ferrets that had done some evil and now never rested, always stirred and picked and hid in pockets&quot; (Bradbury 101). Montag&#39;s shocking response to Beatty&#39;s force results in him burning Beatty alive. Montag experiences denial after murdering Beatty, claiming that it wasn&#39;t his actions, but the action of his hands. He compares his hands to ferrets, and how the evil of his hands resulted in such a tragedy. Montag&#39;s newfound knowledge fails to help him take accountability for his actions. favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentadd4. Burning Bright: pages 107-120.Laura BortnickAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrLaura Bortnick&quot;&#39; The pains were spiked driven up his kneecap and then only darning needles and then only common ordinary pins.&quot;(Bradbury 117). In the moment, Montags fear causes him to freeze in disbelief. Although physically he is not hurt and is capable of running, he is in such shock of killing Beatty that he needs a second to process what happened. Montags shock of the situation causes him to sit still, as if his legs were paralyzed, instead of making a run for it. Overtime, the pains in his legs change to be slightly more bearable. it;s as if his legs go from feeling like they were being stabbed numerous times, to just having the pins and needles effect, the feelings you get from sitting in the same spot for too long. When the pain decreases, it allows Montag to get up and run to safety.favorite_border015 commentsAvatar of ERIC SODERERIC SODER 3yrHow is the pain in his leg changing?Avatar of Daniel GirgisDaniel Girgis 3yri like how you used his mental state to explain how he is feeling and how his feelings are controlling what he does.Avatar of Anonymous 1yri will beat the shit out of you mr. soderAvatar of Anonymous 1yr:)Avatar of Anonymous 1yriAvatar of Anonymous 1yri am someone n your classAvatar of Anonymous 1yrcan you guess?Avatar of Anonymous 8monoAvatar of Anonymous 3moYUPPPPPPPPPAvatar of Anonymous 3moget it sisAvatar of Anonymous 3momhmAvatar of Anonymous 3moypAvatar of Anonymous 3mojfwoAvatar of Anonymous 3modlnglnr&#39;Avatar of Anonymous 2moHey niggerYour avatarAdd commentPavly Tadrous - MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrPavly Tadrous - Metaphor &quot;Beatty flopped over and over and over, and at last twisted in on himself like a charred wax doll and lay silent&quot; (Bradbury 113). Beatty is expressed and compared to charred wax as he was able to be easily burned and melted just like wax that has been charred. Beatty was portrayed as easily flammable just like wax in comparison to all the books and houses he as burned, and once you understand that books are good and not wrong you become less flammable and you won&#39;t end up burning just like the rest of the society that believes the incorrect theory of books.favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentAmira ElabboudyAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrAmira Elabboudy &quot;There was a crash like the falling parts of a dream fashioned out of warped glass, mirrors, and crystal prisms.&quot; (pg.108)Montag was surprised and disappointed when Mildred his wife ratted on him and left when they were burning his house.

The dream, or unbroken glass represents Montag&#39;s stable life he was able to have. Even though Montag violated law by reading books, he was still able to have a job and live in a home. However, the crash comes when Beatty reveals his knowledge of Montag&#39;s books. Montag is now a crirminal and his house is going to be burned.  Montag knows that he can never return to his old life, which has fallen apart like shards of glass.favorite23 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 3yrI agree that Montag feels like his life has fallen apart and he can&#39;t do anything about it.Avatar of Anonymous 3yrMontag realizes the flaws with his own life and I agree, just as the glass, he feels as though his own life has fallen apart.Avatar of Anonymous 3yr(Thomas DeRuvo)To add, his life, and also books are fragile. People can take their lives and literature for granted, and he realizes how important his life and the books are.Your avatarAdd commentSteven Mi - MetaphorAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrSteven Mi - Metaphor&quot;There was a crash like the falling parts of a dream fashioned out of warped glass, mirrors, and crystal prisms&quot; (Bradbury 108).This metaphor illustrates the destruction of Montag&#39;s life as he had known it. Though the crash is caused by Stoneman and Black breaking the windows in his house, in Montag&#39;s mind it is the shattering of the illusion of stability and happiness that he once believed in.With this comes the realization that his past life was twisted and ignorantly blissful; the &quot;mirrors&quot; and &quot;warped glass&quot; show his complete misinterpretation of the world prior to discovering literature. As Beatty and the firemen finally confront him  and his unaccepted behavior, Montag decides that he can never go back to how he was before and considers that dream shattered forever.favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentNico LeeAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrNico Lee&quot;The books leapt and danced like roasted birds, their wings ablaze with red and yellow feathers&quot; (Bradbury 110).  The book represents the roasted bird and the pages represent the wings of the bird.  When the pages catch fire, red and yellow flames slowly burn the pages and represent the yellow and red feathers.  favorite_border01 commentAvatar of Daniel GirgisDaniel Girgis 3yri like how you alliterated this fire colors with the colors of the bird&#39;s feathersYour avatarAdd commentTo Nico LeeAvatar of anonymousAnonymous2yrTo Nico LeeNico Lee, thats personification.  not a metaphor.  its still a good one thoughfavorite12 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 2yrno its not lolAvatar of Anonymous 1yrgreat workYour avatarAdd comment.Avatar of anonymousAnonymous1yr.favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentPg 108, Simile, There wasAvatar of Ralph Miko DacilloRalph Miko Dacillo9moPg 108, Simile, There was a crash like the falling parts of a dream fashioned out of warped glass, and crystal prismsfavorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentPersonificationAvatar of anonymousAnonymous7moPersonification“The books leapt and danced like roasted birds… Pg. 110favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentniggerAvatar of anonymousAnonymous7moniggersupfavorite_border02 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 7moggAvatar of Anonymous 4moGood analysisYour avatarAdd commentAvatar of anonymousAnonymous7mofavorite_border01 commentAvatar of Anonymous 4moInteresting point of viewYour avatarAdd commentMetaphor pg. 115Avatar of anonymousAnonymous12dMetaphor pg. 115&quot;A shotgun blast went off in his leg every time he put it down.&quot;  pg. 115 - Montag&#39;s leg is in agony after his close encounter with the mechanical hound.favorite1Your avatarAdd commentadd5.

This metaphor is describing how Montag is used to only having this kind of excitement in the &quot;fictional episodes&quot; he watches. The world is so scary that there is no need to go outside however, now that he is exposed to the outside world he is playing his own &quot;chess game&quot;.

This metaphor is bringing the thought of fear into Faber&#39;s life. Montag was near Faber and he was clearly a fugitive. Faber didn&#39;t want to take part of this man chase because he knew it could affect his life. He didn&#39;t want to take in &quot;oders&quot; of this ghost which Montag represents. favorite_border01 commentAvatar of Anonymous 3yrI also agree that there is conflict within Faber where he argues whether he values his or Montag&#39;s safety moreYour avatarAdd commentZinah FriedmanAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrZinah Friedman &quot;He could feel the Hound, like autumn, come cold and dry and swift, like a wind that didn&#39;t stir grass, that didn&#39;t jar windows or disturb leaf shadows on the white sidewalks as it passed&quot; (Bradbury 130). While Montag is being chased, he feels very worried, and the Hound only adds more fear and unsteadiness. It&#39;s as if the Hound is present but empty, and brings worry like wind does. The Hound was so swift that Montag couldn&#39;t hear or feel where exactly it was, which made Montag even more anxious .favorite1Your avatarAdd commentThat’s litAvatar of anonymousAnonymous2yrThat’s litIma big boyfavorite1Your avatarAdd commentyeeetAvatar of anonymousAnonymous2yryeeetfavorite1Your avatarAdd commentbitchAvatar of anonymousAnonymous1yrbitchfavorite11 commentAvatar of Anonymous 1yrbishYour avatarAdd commentnoAvatar of anonymousAnonymous1yrnofavorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentmaybeAvatar of anonymousAnonymous1yrmaybemaybefavorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentAndrew ChackoAvatar of Manuel VillalvaManuel Villalva12moAndrew Chacko&quot;And there on the  small screen was the burnt house , and the crowd and something with a sheet  over it and out of the sky, fluttering, came the helicopter like a grotesque flower&quot;(Bradbury 127).The way in which the  helicopter was moving was like a flower in the way that a flower moves about in the wind.

This metaphor is symbolizing the effects  of the bombing that takes place in their society. Bradbury is trying to show the impact and the great force that the explosion had not only on the city, but as well as the men and Montag. favorite55 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 1yrFaggot that&#39;s a simile, it uses like/asAvatar of Anonymous 4mo2Avatar of Anonymous 2moWhat a fucking idiotAvatar of Anonymous 27dits a simile thoAvatar of Anonymous 22dBIG BIG CHUNGUS BIG CHUNGUS BIG CHUNGUSYour avatarAdd commentVal MaungAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrVal Maungfavorite12 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 3yr&quot;They held onto the earth as children hold onto familiar things, no matter how cold or dead, no matter what has happened or will happen, their fingers were clawed into the dirt, ant they were all shouting to keep their eardrums from bursting, to keep their sanity from bursting&quot; (154)Avatar of Anonymous 1yrnigga nigga niggaYour avatarAdd commentLexi RoshkovanAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrLexi Roshkovan&quot;He stood breathing, and the more he breathed the land in, the more he was filled up with all the details of the land.

As Montag continues his journey through the train tracks, he becomes familiar with the area. Later on, he makes the conclusion that Clarisse was present in this area prior to him, making this path more recognizable. favorite_border0Your avatarAdd commentMetaphor Thomas DeRuvoAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrMetaphor Thomas DeRuvo &quot;The difference between the man who just cuts the lawns and a real gardener is in the touching, he said. The lawn-cutter might just as well not have been there at all; the gardener will be there a lifetime,&quot; (Bradbury 150).This metaphor is describing a person who will be remembered versus a person who will be forgotten. When Montag asks himself what he gave to the city, all he can say is ashes. There is nothing that Montag will be remembered for after he dies besides the flames and destruction he has caused.favorite3Your avatarAdd commentnoAvatar of anonymousAnonymous2yrnonofavorite_border02 commentsAvatar of Anonymous 2yryesAvatar of Anonymous 1yrnoYour avatarAdd commentmore_vert Daniela TropeanAvatar of anonymousAnonymous6momore_vertDaniela TropeanoAvatar of anonymousAnonymous3yrDaniela Tropeano“Montag reminded himself again that this was no fictional episode to be watched on his run to the river; it was in actuality his own chess game he was witnessing, move by move.” (Bradbury 131).
