How are the words Montag sees as he helps burn the library at 11 N. Elm significant for understanding Fahrenheit 451?

1 answer:

3 0

The event at 11N. Elm was significant for Montag. Here he meets Mrts. Blake, the owner of the house filled with books that they have to burn. She is adamant not to leave her house and books. Before she gets burned with her books, the woman said the quote "Play the man, Master Ridley; we shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out." This line is very significant because the woman wants to imply that may her death serve as the spark that will light up a revolution against the government and their stamping out of free thinking. She wants to serve as an example on why she is willing to sacrifice her life for her beliefs. It is significant in understanding fahrenheit 451 because it is the turning point for the protagonist Montag to finally go with his principles and go against the government.

Answer: the awnser would be C Pompeii was this old awsome city near Naples in Italy, built at the foot of a weird mountain.

Explanation: BECAUSE, you have to think about what the fourth graders would be interested in, sure maybe some would be interested in the others. But what would get them into it the most. "weird mountain" would definitely. They would probably wonder why and want to hear more so they could find out why the mountain is weird. That's what I think
