What can an author do to promote <br> a readers suspension of disbelief
otez555 [7]

Answer:

The correct use of images, symbols and word play will be vital to create, and promote, a readers suspension and disbelief. These images, the environment of suspense created by them, and the words used by a writer, will enhance this suspension and this disbelief. In literature this is vital as it is one way in which a writer will be able to maintain a reader´s interest in the story. Without this, the emotional and sensible part of the reader will not be engaged and soon interest will fall. But through the use of suspensful words, and images, as well as the use of symbols that create a sense of wonder, and leave the reader wishing for more, the writer promotes that sense of suspension and disbelief.

What metaphor does bradbury use to describe the earbuds in mildreds ears? What should alarm the reader about this description
frosja888 [35]

Bradbury describes Mildred’s earbuds as seashells. He uses this metaphor in a reference as people hold a seashell up to one’s ear to hear the sound of the ocean.

This should alarm the reader because the <em>seashells are used by Montag’s society to control information and control potential rebellions</em>. This is a way to control individuals and paint a different reality. Also with the seashells always plugged in <em>people don’t have the time or a silence to listen to their own thoughts.</em>
