One example of alliteration in Fahrenheit 451 is in the line: "Bright blooms of fire bloomed in the air." The repetition of the "b" sound in "bright blooms" and "fire bloomed" is an example of alliteration.
Page 17 "As he stood there the sky over the house screamed..."
this sentence is saying that the sky has screamed...and the sky cant really scream so its personification.

451 degrees Fahrenheit, as the movie title reminds you.
"Itch and scratch" in Fahrenheit 451 refers to the superficial pursuit of entertainment and distractions in the society depicted in the novel, where people are constantly seeking immediate gratification through mindless activities to avoid confronting deeper issues or thinking critically. It highlights a culture that prioritizes escapist activities over critical thinking and reflection.
The title of Fahrenheit 451 is Fahrenheit 451. The shorter version of the story was called "The Fireman", which was the basis for Fahrenheit 451. The reason why this book was entitled Fahrenheit 451 is because the temperature in which books burn is Fahrenheit 451.
In "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury, books are banned and burned by the government in order to control the spread of knowledge and ideas among the population. The government fears that books will cause people to question authority and disrupt the conformist society they have created. Guy Montag, the protagonist, becomes a rebel as he starts to realize the importance of books and the knowledge they hold.
One example of a metaphor in Fahrenheit 451 before page 31 is the comparison of burning books to βpouring keroseneβ on the mind of society, implying that the act of censorship destroys knowledge and intellectual growth.
Yes, that is a reference to Ray Bradbury's novel "Fahrenheit 451", where books are burned by a specialized fire department. The temperature symbolizes the destructive power of censorship and the suppression of knowledge.
Montag wears the number 451 on his helmet in Fahrenheit 451. The number signifies the temperature at which book paper burns.
It is the temperature at which paper, in this case books, spontaneously combusts (bursts into flames). 451 degrees Fahrenheit.
