Answer:

Norma's personal desires resulted to her pushing the button, which unknowingly, led to her husband's death.

Explanation:

"Button, Button" is a shorty story written by Richard Matheson. It focuses on the story of a couple, Norma and Arthur, who were having financial troubles. Then, came a day when a mysterious box showed up. A stranger visited the house when Arthur was at work. He gave Norma the key to the box and told her that she could press the box to receive $50,000. However, if she does this, someone she didn't know will die.

Norma didn't listen to her husband when her husband threw the box in the trash. She was focused on <u>obtaining the</u><u> $50,000</u>, without thinking about who will die if she presses the button. Although her husband already told her that an innocent person might die once she does it, she still didn't care.

So, when Norma pressed the button, <em><u>her husband died in a train incident</u></em>. Norma wondered why her husband died and asked the stranger about it. The stranger only answered, <em>"Do you really think you knew your husband?</em>"

How does clarisse in the book faranheit 451 have such an effect on montage “awakening” in the novel?
Bas_tet [7]
I don't have the book and I did it in freshman year so I don't remember specifics but I do know when Montage meets clarisse he focuses on her image and her white dress which shows her purity which makes a big impact on him somehow, when he actually speaks with her she makes him question everything around his society and why they don't actually read books, clarisse does read books herself and Montage does not report her which means that he's actually seeing how corrupt his society is. Eventually when she dies it's like he breaks or something like that and he ends up going against what he did all his life and against the firemen. Like I said I don't remember much, but I hope this could give you an idea on what you could look for.
