"You ever seen a burned house? It smolders for days. Well, this fire’ll last me the rest of my life. God! I’ve been trying to pu

t it out, in my mind, all night. I’m crazy with trying." "You should’ve thought of that before becoming a fireman." "Thought!" he said. "Was I given a choice? My grandfather and father were firemen. In my sleep, I ran after them."What is the significance of this quote from Montag?

The significance of this quote is Montag's realization of what his job is actually about and what it implies. He became a fireman because he was meant to. However, he is now haunted by this new feeling and does not know anymore what is right and what is wrong.

Can some one write a 3 stanza poem about ambition for me?​
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Coral life forms in copious swarms

feast in the Cambrian chyme,

dividing their cells and forming their shells

to end on the seafloor as lime.

Tectonic churning and magma upturning

renders marble whiter than bone.

The marble is mined, but the cutters are blind

to the angel confined in the stone.

A young sculptor arose, with a bend in his nose

and a transcendent creative spark,

charged with ambition to fulfill a commission,

an angel for St. Dominic's Ark.

An artist sublime who will live for all time,

his genius is to see things not shown.

For an angel to achieve he first has to perceive

its splendor enclosed in the stone.

At dawning's first glow he surveys the tableau

of the blocks the stone cutters supplied.

In some he sees dreams of potential themes,

but only one holds an angel inside.

“A beautiful thing never gives so much pain

as does failing to hear it and see it.”

The block that he chose was rejected by those

who then lied and claimed to foresee it.

With talent and skill he falls to with a will,

surrounded by rubble and relic.

His method you see, for the angel to free

is to remove all the bits not angelic.

Michelangelo’s art for all time stands apart

but there's something further to heed.

For there's a bit more to the fine metaphor

in the tale of the angel he freed.

“A beautiful thing never gives so much pain

as does failing to hear it and see it.”

For in all our insides a bright angel abides

and is just waiting for something to free it:

to remove all the parts which harden our hearts,

to chip out the darkness and pride,

to smooth the rough patches, to polish the scratches

and unshackle the angel inside

How is Scrooge developed in the Christmas Carol
ASHA 777 [7]
Ebenezer Scrooge is the ​protagonist​ (main character) of ‘A Christmas Carol’. He is a banker or ‘moneylender’ of sorts who owned his own ‘counting house’ alongside his late business partner Jacob Marley.

In the opening of the novella, Scrooge is presented as a miserly ​and ​misanthropic ​(someone who dislikes other people) businessman with a strong aversion to Christmas and the society around him in general. :)
