Literary Devices

Bradbury uses different literary devices to portray Mildred as a superficial person, wanting only to spend time with her parlor families. When Bradbury writes "Her face was like a snow covered island..." (17) he uses this simile to show how cold she is towards reality and Montag and how detached she is from the real world while she submerges herself into her parlor family.

If you Really Knew Me (Professor Faber)

Ray Bradbury used many different methods and literary devices to describe the characters and making them relatable and good. "The thought had been with him many times recently but now he remembered how it was that day in the city park when he had seen that old man in the black suit hide something, quickly, in his coat." This example is an imagery of a memory that Montag has of Faber. Doing this throughout the story makes the reader feel more connected and understands the character better. Even more importantly, it helps the reader understand what the character has to do with the overall theme of the book.

Literary Device On Clarisse

In the story Ray Bradbury uses a literary device (which is a simile) and how he uses this is on page 11 in the story Fahrenheit 451 he compares Clarisse's face to be bright as snow in the moonlight. "There was only the girl walking with him now, her face bright as snow in the moonlight" that's the textual evidence from the book.

Dear Montag

Dear Montag,
I'm sorry that I put in the alarm but I told you that bringing books into this house would ruin us. I would have let it go on for longer but you read it in front of Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Bowles and I couldn't just act like it wasn't a big deal anymore. All I wanted to do was sit in the parlor with my 'family' but you completely ruined it when you stole those books and read poetry to my friends. Why couldn't you just leave everything as it was?
--Mildred

Hello! Montag here,

                                 Yes I might be a little clumsy and misguided but my dedication has began since the beginning. I am also get frustrated and confused easy. Many of you have heard about the old lady on Elm Street it was very tragic.


       
                   

Dear Mildred

Dear Mildred,

Why did you take the books? Don't you know that you are going to get in trouble?


Faber's Letter

Dear Montag,

         Hello friend, how are you doing in these rough times? I heard about the lady on Elm Street. That event was a tragedy. She was actually a good friend of mine long ago before the war. We taught together and she was a very intelligent person. It hit me hard when I heard what had happened and it's very unfortunate you were there to see it.

         I have been thinking a lot about my life after the war since this event. I have always considered myself a coward for not speaking out about books. Books are clearly important to the right people. Just because books had lost value to the majority of people, they are still very valuable to others. Our society now days is so ignorant of a lot of things in life and I feel things cannot go well for much longer. I have agreed to help you with your plan and I do so to try and make a change. If I didn't then I could no longer respect myself and would probably ending up being just the lady on Elm Street.

                                                                                                                          Sincerely,
                                                                                                                       Professor Faber

About Me

My name is Clarisse. I am a lover of nature, i'm seventeen and I am very aware of my surroundings and the people I am with

A Little About Me

Hello, I'm Mildred. I have a husband named Guy, but everyone just calls him Montag. Sometimes I think his opinions are a bit off. We used to have these neighbors who had all these crazy ideas, I think they might have affected him. But thats all solved now, I think they're dead. I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping lately, and it seems like the pills don't help. I'd say more, but I have to get back to the 'relatives'.

       Hello my name is Montag and I work as a firemen, but sometimes I wonder about if its truly the right thing to be doing. I have a beautiful wife named Mildred who sometimes can get on my nerves, but we still love each other. Another thing to mention is one of my neighbors Clarisse even though i've known her for a short amount of time she's made a very big impact on me and my way of thinking and she went and disappeared.
