The society of Fahrenheit 451 is fast. School is shorter, after-work is centered around entertainment, cars are faster, etc. Life became so fast for the people of Fahrenheit 451 people never took the time to slow down and read or experience other activities. ]]> 2020-02-10 19:20:11 UTC https://padlet.com/juwilliamson/lnabjqy1wepz/wish/443274188 juwilliamson https://padlet.com/juwilliamson/lnabjqy1wepz/wish/443277007 2020-02-10 19:23:52 UTC https://padlet.com/juwilliamson/lnabjqy1wepz/wish/443277007 juwilliamson https://padlet.com/juwilliamson/lnabjqy1wepz/wish/443912425 “I sometimes think drivers don't know what grass is, or flowers,
because they never see them slowly," she said. "If you showed a driver a green blur, Oh yes! he'd say, that's grass! A pink blur? That's a rose- garden! White blurs are houses. Brown blurs are cows. My uncle drove slowly on a highway once. He drove forty miles an hour and they jailed him for two days. Isn't that funny, and sad, too?"

out again Finnegan, the Army called Pete yesterday. He'll be back next week. The Army said so. Quick war. Forty-eight hours they said, and everyone home. That's what the Army said.”

the gag, the snap ending." Pg 52

However at the end of the novel, when Montag leaves the fast city and the city blows up, the natural imagery slows down the plot and that makes the story feel more calm.]]> 2020-02-11 19:04:52 UTC https://padlet.com/juwilliamson/lnabjqy1wepz/wish/443922169 juwilliamson https://padlet.com/juwilliamson/lnabjqy1wepz/wish/443923244 On one wall a woman smiled and drank orange juice
simultaneously. How does she do both at once, thought Montag, insanely. In the other walls an X-ray of the same woman revealed the contracting journey of the refreshing beverage on its way to her delightful stomach! Abruptly the room took off on a rocket flight into the clouds, it plunged into a lime-green sea where blue fish ate red and yellow fish. A minute later, Three White Cartoon Clowns chopped off each other's limbs to the accompaniment of immense incoming tides of laughter. Two minutes more and the room whipped out of town to the jet cars wildly circling an arena, bashing and backing up and bashing each other again. Montag saw a number of bodies fly in the air.
