Read the following excerpt from the novel: Chapter 1: Sun and Shadow Thirty years ago, Marseilles lay burning in the sun, one da

y. A blazing sun upon a fierce August day was no greater rarity in southern France then, than at any other time, before or since. Everything in Marseilles, and about Marseilles, had stared at the fervid sky, and been stared at in return, until a staring habit had become universal there. Strangers were stared out of countenance by staring white houses, staring white walls, staring white streets, staring tracts of arid road, staring hills from which verdure was burnt away. The only things to be seen not fixedly staring and glaring were the vines drooping under their load of grapes. These did occasionally wink a little, as the hot air barely moved their faint leaves. There was no wind to make a ripple on the foul water within the harbor, or on the beautiful sea without. The line of demarcation between the two colors, black and blue, showed the point which the pure sea would not pass; but it lay as quiet as the abominable pool, with which it never mixed. Boats without awnings were too hot to touch; ships blistered at their moorings; the stones of the quays had not cooled, night or day, for months. Descendants from all the builders of Babel, come to trade at Marseilles, sought the shade alike—taking refuge in any hiding-place from a sea too intensely blue to be looked at, and a sky of purple, set with one great flaming jewel of fire. Blinds, shutters, curtains, awnings, were all closed and drawn to keep out the stare. Grant it but a chink or keyhole, and it shot in like a white-hot arrow. The churches were the freest from it. To come out of the twilight of pillars and arches—dreamily dotted with winking lamps, dreamily peopled with ugly old shadows piously dozing, spitting, and begging—was to plunge into a fiery river, and swim for life to the nearest strip of shade. So, with people lounging and lying wherever shade was, with but little hum of tongues or barking of dogs, with occasional jangling of discordant church bells and rattling of vicious drums, Marseilles, a fact to be strongly smelt and tasted, lay broiling in the sun one day. Read this line again: Strangers were stared out of countenance by staring white houses, staring white walls, staring white streets, staring tracts of arid road, staring hills from which verdure was burnt away. What does this line suggest about the city of Marseilles? It was the place to find grapes. It was a colorful city. Its people were fond of swimming. It was a difficult city to live in.

Article source of the US-News
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

U.S. News - The New York Times

Explanation:

(From newspapers and magazines)

There are numerous situations when reading articles from popular sources might serve to introduce you to a topic and how that topic is addressed in society. In most cases, articles from popular sources:

  • are published for a general audience by journalists or professional authors
  • written in a language that the broader public can understand
  • They rarely contain a bibliography; instead, they are fact-checked throughout the editorial process of the magazine in which they appear.
  • They do not presuppose prior knowledge of a subject area; as a result, they are frequently quite useful to read if you don't know a lot about your subject area yet.
  • may include an argument, viewpoint, or analysis of a problem

Faber says he bears some responsibility for the dismal state of the world. What is the source of Faber’s guilt?
Basile [38]

https://www.gradesaver.com/fahrenheit-451/q-and-a/5-faber-says-he-bears-some-responsibility-for-the-dismal-state-of-the-world-what-is-the-source-of-fabers-guilt-do-you-share-his-opinion-or-think-that-hes-being-too-hard-on-himself-367101


the answer


if you can't see it the answer is

I believe that Faber's guilt stems from his cowardice. It is very easy to see that he is not brave, such as when Montag has to convince him to go to his printer friend and when he gives Montag the earpiece so that he is with him without actually being there. While he is one of the few intellectuals left in their society, I don't believe that he had much in the way of responsibility because they were fighting a losing battle. Even if he had done more, it ultimately would have done nothing because the minds of the mass would not have been swayed by one more mere voice.

Thus, his guilt stems from his inability to act, but he is being too hard on himself as there is only so much that one person can do, especially facing the odds that he did.
