I hate you saying bad things about me.
Personification:
"The parlour was dead and Mildred kept peering in at it with a blank expression as Montag paced the floor and came back and squatted down and read a page as many as ten times, aloud." (Page 32)
This use of figurative language illustrates Montag's loneliness and feelings of isolation.
Simile:
"He stared at the parlour that was dead and grey as the waters of an ocean that might teem with life if they switched on the electronic sun." (Page 33)
The simile above helps us to understand how technology alienates us from reality.
Metaphor:
"Maybe the books can get us half out of the cave. They just might stop us from making the same daxmxn insane mistakes!" (Page 34)
This metaphor illustrates the huge barrier between Montag and Mildred. He needs reality, whereas, she is content and happy to live stagnantly through the lives of fictional beings.

The role that fictional Heroes play for us in our lives is limited because of the fact that no one has or ever will have super powers. Also I don't know bout u but I feel depressed when I know I can't do something they can... a reason why they can play a great role in our lives is that we look up to them and strive to do better seeing how they act.
The transition words
are used to link words, phrases or sentences in order to help the reader to
progress from one idea to the next idea. They also help to build up coherent
relationships within the text. Transition words have been assigned to
artificial categories such as: agreement, opposition, causes, examples, effect,
conclusion etc.
In the first sentence
transition word is “and” (“…bespoke repression and even a certain strength”) which
belongs to the category of agreement transition words (alongside again, then,
also…)
In the second sentence
transition word is “but” (“But now there was a dull stare in her eyes…”) which
belongs to the category of opposition (alongside still, unlike, yet, while…),
whose gaze was fixed away off yonder on one of those patches of blue sky.
<span>In the third sentence is
the transition phrase “but rather” (“…but rather indicated a suspension of
intelligent thought”), in category of opposition.</span>
