Why
does the author use the analogy of the firefighter to a conductor?Slide7
The firefighter is enjoying burning the books just as a conductor enjoys conducting music. It is almost an art to the firefighter.Slide8
Why does the author use visual imagery in this line “gorging fire that burned the evening sky red and yellow and black
?”Slide9
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.Slide10
What does the quotation “eyes all orange flame” mean? How does it connect with Unit 1’s “The Sniper?”Slide11
“Eyes all orange flame” shows that
Montag is consumed by his job just like the sniper lost himself in his job and his eyes had the “cold gleam of the fanatic.”
