“Thinking back later he could never decide whether the hands or Beatty’s reaction to the hands gave him the final push toward murder. The last rolling thunder of the avalanche stoned down about his ears, not touching him.
Beatty grinned his most charming grin. “Well, that’s one way to get an audience. Hold a gun on a man and force him to listen to your speech...Go ahead now, you second-hand litterateur, pull the trigger.’ He took one step toward Montag” (Bradbury).

Answer:
<em> by using descriptive phrases to explain difficult ideas</em>
Explanation:
The Big bend can be described as a proposed skyscraper which is to be constructed in New York City. The proposal is most known for its distinctive U-shape, which would make it the longest building in the world,though not the tallest, if it were built. The Big Bend is a curved, 4,000 foot-long skyscraper planned on Manhattan's Billionaire's Row. Although the author uses descriptive phrases to explain the ideas behind the big bend however, it is very unlikely that the project will ever be built.
The main ideas shaping US imperialism were "Manifest destiny" and the "White man's burden". Manifest destiny refers to the 19th century belief that the United States were meant to expand across North America because of the particular excellence of its (white) people and (democratic) institutions. This lead to the Trail of Tears, among other atrocities. Once the US reached the Pacific Ocean, new lands came into view (Puerto Rico, the Phillipines). Manifest destiny became entwined with the idea that "civilized" nations had a moral obligation to colonize other peoples, which Rudyard Kipling summed up in his poem "White Man's Burden". The tensions in this "benevolent imperialism" were never fully resolved; the US invasion of Irak was launched under similar pretenses (the invasion was "for the good" of those invaded). The idea that other peoples have a right to self determination regardless of their level of development has not yet become accepted by the great powers, including the US.
