Fahrenheit 56K

Madison Carver Project 2 Eng. 1102 Tuesday 11:00 13 September 2015 Literary Analysis of “To Build a Fire” In “To Build a Fire,” Jack London masterfully uses the elements of setting, symbolism, and irony to reveal his perspective on the theme of survival. London uses fire in the story to symbolize life and death while interchangeably using the fire to show the contrast between the man and the wolf dog. Throughout the story, the man realizes how prudent the fire is to his survival. When the snow blots out his fire, it symbolizes how his life is now inarguably running out and the man feels “as though he just heard his own sentence of death” (Kenney and Gioia 131). The fire is also significant to the story because it allows the reader to see the distinction between the man and the wolf dog when the man chooses to put out his fire; the dog yearns back toward the fire while the man ignored the instinct to remain at the fire and thoughtlessly trudged on into the cold. The man’s hands are used to symbolize his power and security with himself throughout the story. One can see early on in the story that the man was not prepared for the journey ahead and that his hands would pay the price from the foreshadowing of the man removing his hand from his mitten to help tear out the ice particles from the dog’s paws. The harsh conditions of the Yukon had shut down the power of his hands and prevented him from lighting the fire properly which resulted in him burning his flesh and inhaling the…

The seventeen-year-old neighbor, Clarisse McClellan, is mentioned first and provides the stimulus for Montag’s new outlook on life.

1 : Introduction 1.1 General Background Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 (1953) is a dystopian novel, set in a world where the ownership of books is illegal, and firemen burn books instead of putting fires out. The protagonist, Guy Montag, is a fireman. He decides to investigate the loyalty some in their society have for books by reading some he kept in secret. He is then discovered by his captain who reports him, and is chased by the government until he escapes in a river. In the end, he washes up…

Have you ever wondered what it is like to live in a conceited dystopian society where any possession of books is illegal? Well, in a dystopian society like Fahrenheit 451 written by Ray Bradbury, it is a community where firemen have to burn books for a living. People are not allowed to peruse books but only allowed to scan through training manuals for their jobs. When people who are against the government read the books, they will either get arrested and have a death penalty, or they either can…

“It was a pleasure to burn.” (3) Guy Montag lives in a society where firemen burn books, ‘family’ are projections on a wall sized TV, and people are considered crazy if they have opinions other then the norm. This dystopian life is controlled by the ignorance of the people and the censorship from the government. Owning books and reading are against the law and the people are drugged into compliance through sleeping pills. In the novel Fahrenheit 451 the author Ray Bradbury portrays the idea that…

Introduction: Aerobic cellular respiration is the process in which energy is being released from organic compounds by chemical oxidation. In this lab we compared the change of the consumption of oxygen in germinating peas as it underwent changes in temperatures of either ten degrees Celsius, or 22 degrees Celsius (room temp.) to the oxygen consumption of dried peas as it also underwent the same temperatures of ten and 22 degrees Celsius. I hypothesized that the germinating peas would consume…

Introduction: There is a direct relationship between temperature and pressure in gases. The relationship can be proven by measuring pressure, which is measured with a pressure sensor, and temperature, which is measured with a temperature probe. Two areas remain constant throughout this experiment, which are volume of the gas and the number of molecules the gas itself contains. In this experiment, using the constructed apparatus, an Erlenmeyer flask with an air sample will be placed in four…

Introduction: Based on preliminary research, the hypothesis of the present study was that at temperatures higher or lower than 40 degrees Celsius fermentation is inhibited. Alcoholic fermentation is used in food production such as brewing, winemaking, and baking (Campbell). Thus optimizing fermentation and understanding the effect of various environmental factors can have important economic and social benefits. The production of CO2 is being assessed to show the rate of fermentation at certain…

HYPOTHESIS: As the ice cubes melt in the warm water, the melted water from the ice should flow towards the bottom of the cup because the melted colder water is denser than the surrounding water. PURPOSE: The purpose of this experiment is to improve my ability to observe an experiment. In addition, it will help aid me in making proper observations while also drawing conclusions. RAW MATERIALS: Clover Valley food color and egg dye blue food coloring contains FD&C Blue #1…
