Explain the following quote:

English
1 answer:
scoundrel [369]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

This quotation connects to the theme because it represents the censorship that the government in the novel Fahrenheit 451 believes to be good. The quote is from Captain Beatty and it explains his point of view on censoring citizens. Captain Beatty believes that giving the civilians little knowledge of the world is best for the city and that if they were to gain knowledge, it would only create problems because the citizens would be able to question authority and make decisions that could cause harm to one another. This quote relates to the overall theme because it explains the force that Montag is working against and emphasizes his individuality because it describes the norm of society in believing that censorship yields the best results for a harmonic society. Montag is different because he questions society and begins to make his own decisions through gaining knowledge in books. He believes that in order to become happy, not only politically but in every aspect of life, he must explore the world and understand all sides of a question before he  can make his own decision. Montag's desire to go against Captain Beatty's rules demonstrates the theme because his inclination to understand the world drives his goal and fuels his rebellion against the law in the interest of living a better life. Captain Beatty's opinion on the censorship of citizens is important to the theme because his opinion is what drives Montag to pursue knowledge in books and acts as an opposing force in the way of Montag's pursuit of a happy life. The quote demonstrates Beatty's reasons behind censoring the citizens. He believes that if the citizens were to gain knowledge they would worry and it would cause problems within the city. The quote connects to the theme by representing the reasoning behind censorship and the motivating force driving Montag to escape government restriction in order to pursue knowledge and understand the world.

Graphic Analysis:

I chose the image of a baby to represent this quote from Fahrenheit 451 because baby's needs are taken care of and they have no need to worry about the world. Babies are innocent and oblivious to the world around them. Their minds are not developed and therefore they don't have the ability to understand what is occurring around them. The baby represents the quote because it symbolizes the happiness Captain Beatty is talking about. The Captain says in order to keep people happy, they must not be worried. The baby represents this because it has no need to worry and doesn't have the ability to question it's surroundings. Babies have comfortable lives because they have all their needs taken care of similar to the citizens in Fahrenheit 451 who have food, shelter, and fancy technology to keep them busy. The happy baby is symbolic of the happy citizens because it doesn't understand life and doesn't question anything. The baby represents the politically happy, brainwashed members of society because as long as the citizens are kept satisfied with fancy technology and other distracting material goods, they stay happy and oblivious to their censorship, just like how babies are kept satisfied with distracting items such as pacifiers and rattle toys to keep them distracted from their real issue.

Tuck in= If you *tuck in* a piece of material, you keep it in position by placing one edge or end it behind or under something else. Source: Collins dictionary
*If you tuck in material such as sheet or the clothes you're wearing, you push the loose ends into a narrow space, in order to hold them in position.

Look into= If you look into a particular problem, subject or situation, you find out and examine the facts relating to it.

Drop in= If you drop in someone, you visit them without any formal arrangement to do so.

Turn round= If someone or something turns round, or you turn them round, they move so that they are facing in the opposite direction.
* If something like plan, project or business that is failing turns around or if you turn it around, it becomes successful.

Hang up= If you hang something up in a high place or position, you attach it there so that it doesnt touch the ground.

Cut out= If you cut out part of something, you remove it by cutting it.
* Of you tell someone to cut it out, you are telling them angrily to stop misbehaving.
* If you cut someone out of an activity, you dont allow them to do it.

Give away= If you give something away, you give it to someone without taking money in return: give sth. to others without expecting anything.

Turn in= When you turn in, you go to bed.

Tear off= If you tear off your clothes, you take them off quickly and violently

can you guys give me some studying tips cause i've trying to study for like 2 hours and all i got is nothing
riadik2000 [5.3K]
I guess that all you have to do is focus, don't procrastinate. Shut off anything that might distract you, like put away your phone. Don't even listen to music, because sometimes that just breaks concentration. Considering how you've been trying to study for the past 2 hours, try taking a break. And continue to take short breaks so you don't get too tired! 

I hope this helped haha! I've had far too much experience with the same issue.
