-I believe that the salamander on Montag's arm is a symbol of how he thinks of himself. The salamander represents Montag's actions and it helps you understand his character more. It might also foreshadow something that might happen later on in the story.
What is the inciting incident of the story? If you're not sure, choose an event and explain why you think it qualifies.- I think an inciting event is something that starts the plot of a story and gives you an incite on what might happen. In the story, Montag just got off work and is walking and gets a weird feeling that someone is watching him. This is where he meets Clarisse McClellan which might start a conflict. For some odd reason Montag is intrigued by the girl and has an attraction to her which leaves him wanting to talk to her more.
Describe Montag at the beginning of the novel. Do you think he's a hero? Why/not?
- At the beginning of the novel, the author is talking about how much Montag adores his job as a "fireman". Bradbury goes into deep description about the books burning in the fire. It creates an image in my mind that is so realistically unreal. In my opinion, I do not believe Montag is a hero. It is not an exceptional thing to burn books. Authors spend their own time coming up with marvoulous ideas that they want to share with the world. They put so much effort into their stories, so it would be completely offensive for someone to outlaw books and have them burned.
Describe Bradbury's tone. What is his attitude toward the characters, the topics, and the audience? How can you tell?
-He speaks as if he is talking to every single individual in the world. He presents his ideas in simple terms that anyone can understand and it also is very deep at the same time.
