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>

emmainna [20.7K]
<span>In his book Walden, a reflection on the act of living as simply as possible, Thoreau spoke at length on the impact of technology on our daily lives and humanity as a whole. He believed that technology was leading to a degradation of our relations with one another and with the natural world. He cited the construction of a telegraph line from Maine to Texas, saying,"We are in great haste to construct a magnetic telegraph line from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important to communicate." We can see them same in our modern day quest for the "next big thing"; snapping up the latest iPhone for hundreds of dollars, posting ever more on social media, with many having nothing important to contribute to a wider world despite access to that world at an unprecedented level. As a society, we have at our fingertips the lessons and work of all the world's great thinkers and scholars, and yet a great number of people use the potential at hand to watch funny cat videos. I believe that this is a sign of the degradation that Thoreau spoke of made manifest.</span>

PLEASE HELP can you tell me a story about the picture with a lot of details
Softa [21]

Answer:

A draft of wind blew past and ran through her hair.  The air was crisp and the ocean smelled fresh and there was a thick coat of fog swirling around in the atmosphere.  Passing crows flew through the air gracefully, their loud, croaky barks filling the air in a crescendo of volume.  Sarah stared off into the distance as the cold and salty water lapped up onto the shore, and the sky was like a curtain of silk with puffy clouds of creamy white, that reminded her of the inside of her favorite dessert, a light and flaky pâte à choux pastry.   She stared at the waves crashing upon the shore longingly.  The beautiful sound of the waves soothed her like a lullaby her mother used to sing her when she was little.  She dug her toes into the grainy, damp sand.  She ran.  Clumps of seaweed that had washed up on the beach made her stumble, but she kept going. The horizon was a line of nickel-silver.  The sunset, a splash of red, yellow, and orange seemed to be seducing her and causing her to run even faster.  Sarah jumped.  The waves fell down upon her, wrapping her like a huge blanket.  The salty water felt good.  She grinned contently, vivacious, obviously pleased with her incredible accomplishment.

Explanation:

I can add advanced SAT words in the paragraph if you want, but it'll take some time.  Tell me if you want that.  :)
