Bradbury is trying to show how this society is constantly bombarded with media. In this case, it's advertisements pounding them into a passive state. No one on the train is talking or interacting. They are just sitting listening to the advertisement like they are being brainwashed into buying denham's dentifrice. In contrast to this Montag is trying to read a passage from the Bible about letting go of material things (including Denham's dentifrice). This juxtaposition between the natural world and materialism further shows how society is so wrapped up in media that they are unaware of the world around them.

Summary of the story throwing fire
Phantasy [73]
Hello

<span>In Throwing Fire, historian Alfred W. Crosby looks at hard, accurate throwing and the manipulation of fire as unique human capabilities. Humans began throwing rocks in prehistory and then progressed to javelins, atlatls, bows and arrows. We learned to make fire by friction and used it to cook, drive game, burn out rivals, and alter landscapes to our liking. Our exploitation of these two capabilities figured in the extinction of many species, and may have played a role in the demise of Neanderthals.

Can anyone give me an example of Internal conflict ? I can't find a good example
Bezzdna [24]

Well, an internal conflict is when a character struggles in their mind and heart over a decision. An example could be; someone struggling over to make the right or wrong decision, like saving a book or burning a book, killing a spider or setting it free, helping someone carry boxes or leave them to do it themselves, etc.

Hope this helped!! Have a good day!
