Fahrenheit 451: Journal #3 Quote Analysis Essay

In the citation above, Faber describes books and their content to Montag, who as started to rebel against society finished books. Faber was a very superfluous and memor competent person Montag met in a park a few years back. They had a conversation in which Faber recited close to poems to him and because of that, Montag k untestedfound he was a rebel a reader. He was the only person Montag could think of that would help him in his situation. Faber is the one that uttered this quote and is, by far, my front-runner character in the book. The way he describes books is so unique.He uses many figures of speech to explain books and even society. Because of this, what he says usually has indirect meanings. Take this quote for example. This quote contains metaphors and personifications that describe Montags society and why books are burned. Pores in the face of life is a personification that represents the problems in life. Pores on our faces are unwanted, ugly, problematic. alike(p) w ith the issues in our lives. It makes people unhappy, and brings torture in their lives. People are afraid of this therefore, they are removed, avoided. Books reveal these pores in the face of life, so they are removed as well. Thats how Montags government controls Montags society. Through fake, hollow happiness.The government digs a hole and buries the locked treasure box filled with everyones emotions (excluding happiness) and issues unintelligible inside the hole. Heck, they even teach society to do that themselves For the next sentence, flowers is a metaphor for ideas. Good fall and black loam represents creativity and imagination. Flowers need Good rain and black loam to blossom into something grand, special, unique.But, because the flowers are growing on other flowers, they become identical to it. Each and every flower grows on each other until the introduction is covered in identical flowers. A few are different, yes, but they slowly dwindle through the influence of the id entical flowers and the disturbance of nature those flowers created. Those special flowers may transform into an identical flower, or, they die.Journal 4May 5, 2013They were gone. The Hound was gone. Now there was only the river and Montag floating in a sudden peacefulness, away from the city and the lights and the chase, away from everything. (Pg. 140, Fahrenheit 451)This quote occurs after Montag kills Beatty and two other firemen, as well as burn the Salamander, after his house was burnt by them. Because of that, he is now being chased by firemen in helicopters and Salamanders, and a more efficient and high tech Mechanical Hound. Montag visits Faber one last time, receiving money, new clothes, and directions from him, and then runs into the river, which carries him away to safety. The Hound and firemen then loses track of him. This quote is where, in my opinion, the climax ends and the resolution starts.Its when Montag completes his transition from mindless follower to independe nt thinker. alone with natures aid. Nature, at this moment, is shown as something that overrules technology. Even when its faced with the highest, most efficient technology that the humans can create, nature wins. Nature was able to bring Montag to safety from the Hound and the clutches of society and technology, to help him escape from everything that was holding him back.The peace and relaxation nature provides help Montag complete his thinking process, which was fractional because he couldnt really think when he was surrounded by the fast-moving, overly colorful things, people that didnt give a damn roughly anything except for themselves and their happiness, and a government thats watching your every move. Not until he was completely separated from all that was he able to accept his new self and to move on to make peace with his inner conflicts. Even he wasnt able to accept and make peace when he was with Faber, mortal he trusted and cared for. He was wounded by technology an d healed by nature.
