Answer:

”Lost Illusions” contains the theme of how the innocence of youth gives way to facing the reality of life. The narrator refers to the veils that shielded her from truth in her youth, but as she left the shelter of those veils, she came to know the sadness associated with reality. The speaker yearns to reclaim the veils that shielded her from the truths she has faced in as she has aged.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Great question

Explanation:

First off, Mildred. She, remember, is not like Montag, she is a bit crazy and is caught up in only her self interest and is only concerned about going against society or aka breaking the law.

Montag, he is touched, because that little girl he met realy opened his mind and heart to the things forgoten and the book is his way back to life.

Theory, Montag represents light (hope) because he searches for that which he can not understand and brings meaning to it like light to darkness

Mildred, represents, darkness (despair) because she doesnt care what new things light shows but is worried that the "new" things are dangerous and should be forgoten. In short, she is affraid of what she could know, could hert her and so shuts it up.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The valley of ashes between West Egg and New York City consists of a long stretch of desolate land created by the dumping of industrial ashes. It represents the moral and social decay that results from the uninhibited pursuit of wealth, as the rich indulge themselves with regard for nothing but their own pleasure. The valley of ashes also symbolizes the plight of the poor, like George Wilson, who live among the dirty ashes and lose their vitality as a result.
