Why does the author use the analogy of the firefighter to a conductor?Slide9
The firefighter is enjoying burning the books just as a conductor enjoys conducting music. It is almost an art to the firefighter.Slide10
Why does the author use visual imagery in this line “gorging fire that burned the evening sky red and yellow and black?”Slide11
Red, yellow, and black are colors symbolizing danger and the word “gorging” gives the picture of something greedy and large. The visual imagery helps support the mood.Slide12
