Sholpan [36]3 years ago

Nick describes himself as someone who was very tolerant, and withheld judgement from most people. "<span>In consequence, I’m inclined to reserve all judgments, a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me and also made me the victim of not a few veteran bores" (Fitzgerald Chapter 1). He says he graduated from New Haven, and fought in the first World War, which left him feeling restless. He says that he decided to study and attempt to make it in the industry of bonds. He moves to West Egg, where the new money is, or the young men seeking to make their fortunes through hard work, in contrast to East Egg, where the old money is, or family-inherited money. So, in short, Nick is a restless man looking to make his fortune through hard work, and completely reserves judgement of most of the people around him. </span>

Lena [83]
A static character is a character that has personality, but has not changed heart or outlook on life by the end of the story. For example, Killer Kane from Freak the Mighty. He's evil and cruel at the beginning and the same way by the end of the book. Hope I helped!

How does the author use characters to make a statement about the value of human life in the world of F451? What does the author
Liula [17]

Incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the story, "Fahrenheit" 451 by  Ray Bradbury.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For example, in the novel, the character Clarisse is portrayed as someone who appreciates nature, so much so that she finds time always to observe creation even though most people in her community are preoccupied with work and entertainment that they lack the time to do so.

Another character is Mildred, the wife of Montag, she is portrayed as someone who has a love for entertainment that is so strong to the extent it overshadows that of her husband. Her behavior contrast with that of Clarisse who has a healthy view of entertainment.

What the author, Montag is saying through his characters is that

  • those in his society do not value human life, recall we were told the police don't punish those who over speed, thus accidents occur often.
  • those in his society are less concerned about their families; which was made evident in the case of Mildred.
