1.Give a very short (1-3 sentence) summary of the two main scenes in this section. The first scence was at home in the living room and the second scene was in the fire house with Beatty.
The two main scenes in this section are, of one when Montag came to his boiling point at the house. He got pissed off because of the women explaning there opinions on the future presidents, for example the woman said they would like a cuter or good looking one instead of a president with brains. And when Montag heard that he blew up and started going off about how stupid the country is getting. Another important part was when he got eaten alive by Beatty.
2.Analyze the use of language in the reading by analzying figurative language or descriptive verbs and adjectives.
Find a sentence or two that has strong adjectives and/or verbs. Quote the book and explain why these are strong descriptive words and why they are effective. How do they appeal to the senses? What mental images do they invoke?
" It was good listening to the beetle hum, the sleepy mosquito buzz and the delicate filigree murmur of the old man's voice at first scolding him and even consoling him in the late hour of the night as he emerged from the steaming subway toward the firehouse world."
The reason I chose this passage/quote was because of all the descriptive metaphors used.
