  4. FAHRENHEIT 451 • Let’s discuss symbolism, characters, irony, figurative language and theme as a class.

  5. FAHRENHEIT 451 Let’s discuss symbols: • (I’ll help you discuss): On page 18, we first hear about the power of water. We then hear about water on page 21, 24, 103, 109 140-41 and 143. • What does water DO for the characters in this story? • What character is most connected with water? • What does water represent and why? • (Let’s do together): • What does fire represent throughout the story? • What does fire symbolize at the story’s end? (154) • (You do on your warm-up page): • What does the sieve represent and why? (page 78) • Are people’s minds becoming sieve-like in our society? Why?

  6. FAHRENHEIT 451 Let’s discuss character: • (I’ll help you do) Read the last paragraph on pg. 5 and first on page 7. • What details are used to describe Clarisse? • Why are these details important? • (You do together) Refresh your minds about the parlour ladies. (98) • What one or two adjectives would you use to describe them and why? • What makes them this way? • Is it their fault that they are the way they are? Why/why not? • (You do on warm-up) Read page 12 describing Mildred. • How do you characterize Mildred and why? • Does her “seashell” remind you of anything in our society?

  7. FAHRENHEIT 451 Let’s discuss irony: • (You help me do…) Humans are living beings while books are non-living beings. • What is ironic about the humans and books though in this society? (page 51-52 and 83) • What message is being sent through this irony? • (Write on your warm-up, then discuss together): On page 44, we see the irony of Montag’s home and marriage. • What is ironic about the term “living room”? • What is ironic about Montag and Mildred’s feelings for each other (44 and 77)?

  8. FAHRENHEIT 451 Let’s discuss figurative language: • (You help me do): On page 157… • There is a metaphor about gardeners and lawn cutters. What does the gardener present and what does the lawn cutter represent? • What is the message? • (You do on your warm-up): On page 139… • There is a metaphor about gray animals. Who/what is compared to gray animals? • What message is this metaphor presenting?

  9. FAHRENHEIT 451 Let’s discuss theme: • (Together) Clarisse asks Montag if he notices “how people hurt each other nowadays” (Bradbury 30). • Where do we see violence in this story (hint: 128)? • Why do you think the violence exists? (Note: what does Faber says about violence on 89?) • What message is being sent that connects to violence? • (You do on your own, then discuss together) Almost anytime Mildred comes into the story, she is discussing the “walls”. Why does Montag ask her if the play on her walls “has a happy ending”? • What does the wall remind you of in our world? • What message is Bradbury sending?
