“Thinking back later he could never decide whether the hands or Beatty’s reaction to the hands gave him the final push toward murder. The last rolling thunder of the avalanche stoned down about his ears, not touching him.
Beatty grinned his most charming grin. “Well, that’s one way to get an audience. Hold a gun on a man and force him to listen to your speech...Go ahead now, you second-hand litterateur, pull the trigger.’ He took one step toward Montag” (Bradbury).

Answer:
Both the events of the 1992 LA Riots and the current social and political conflicts in America have the same origin, which is none other than the inequalities of social, economic and political opportunities that exist between African Americans and whites in the United States.
Thus, the 1992 LA Riots arose after the assault on Rodney King by the police and his subsequent acquittal by a mostly white jury, which demonstrated the impunity that the police had in the face of attacks on black people, as well as the structural power of whites versus blacks in the government structure.
In turn, the current disturbances arose after the murder of George Floyd by white police officers, thus repeating the pattern of abuse of power by the security forces, especially against members of the African-American community.
Answer:
Romeo and Juliet get married: <em>Rising action</em>
Juliet finds out that Romeo killed Tybalt: <em>Falling Action</em>
Romeo finds Juliet in the tomb, and he kills Paris: <em>Denouement</em>
Juliet’s mother asks her to marry Paris: <em>Exposition</em>
Romeo kills Tybalt and is banished from Verona: <em>Climax</em>
Explanation:
This is the best way to match the events of the play to the stages of dramatic structure. <em>Exposition</em> is the part in which we are introduced to important background information. <em>Rising action</em> occurs when the story acquires a faster pace in preparation for the most dramatic events. <em>Climax</em> is the point of highest tension and excitement. This leads to the <em>falling action</em>, in which emotion decreases again and all the conflict begin to be resolved. Finally, the <em>denouement</em> describes the conclusion of the narrative.
