Fahrenheit 451 is set in an unspecified city at an unspecified time in the future after the year 1960. The novel is divided into three parts: "The Hearth and the Salamander", "The Sieve and the Sand", and "Burning Bright".
I think you become an adult when you acknowledge the responsibilities of your actions and your everyday decisions.
I make this statement because I've been asking this question to myself many times. It is really difficult for me to try to draw the line in this matter; you could say that adulthood has to do with acting good or bad, but, if so, we would be shifting from adults to childs from one minute to the other because we always behave in a good or a bad way depending on the circumstances and the times we are going through.
After a lot of thinking, I realized that the only difference between myself now and myself when I was a child is that now I am aware of what my actions cause.
When I was a kid, I used to do what I felt like and didn't realize much about consequences, or if someone got hurt by my actions. Today I try to follow my heart in doing what I like to do, but I always consider if I am hurting or upsetting someone.
I think this is the key for adulthood, making choices in total acknowledge of the consequences, which means being responsible for them.
A. is the answer :) :) :)
The sentence from Herman Melville's short story "The Lightning-Rod Man" which is an example of allusion is the one we find in letter B. Who has empowered you, you Tetzel, to peddle round your indulgences from divine ordinations?
One of the characters is mocked by being called Tetzel, who was a German Dominican preacher who sold "indulgences" (paid forgiveness for one's sins) in the 1500's. In the aforementioned sentence, there is an allusion to Martin Luther, who was openly against Tetzel and his "indulgences". An allusion is an indirect reference to something or someone, and Martin Luther is indirectly mentioned in the sense that it's like he is talking to his adversary. Except it's not Martin Luther himself speaking; it's one of the characters who try to impersonate him.

Yolanda was insulting her father by calling him by the nickname of Trujillo.
