Burn Of Fire Book Report

“It was a pleasure to burn” (Bradbury 1). At the start of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, published by Simon & Schuster Paperbacks, comes one of the most iconic introductory phrases in literary culture. At the moment of reading it, this line is interpreted to be an expression of the thrill that came with the act of lighting a fire as Montag does his job to burn illegal books. However, by the end, it is possible to say that this line has a different meaning altogether. In a time where censorship and other forms of oppression were on the rise, Bradbury wrote his work to speak out against a strong government, preserving freedom for the individual. Through the use of allusions, he grounds Fahrenheit 451 in reality, calling the themes of the novel into question in the present as much as they were in the time when the novel was written. Through the world of his story, Bradbury makes a statement about a potential path society could take, destroying freedom of thought and individual expression, becoming nothing less than a dystopia like the one in Montag’s world.

In Fahrenheit 451 ,written by Ray Bradbury, the motif of fire, sparks an interest in the reader which pulls them into the life of Guy Montag. In the daily life of Montag, Bradbury portrays the importance of fire in the censored society. From Montag's standpoint the reader gains a clear perspective of the symbolism and importance of fire. Throughout the story fire is used to represent a different emotion or characteristic. At the start of the book fire symbolizes destruction; towards the middle of the book fire is used to represent change and discovering ones identity; and finally at the conclusion of the story fire symbolizes renewal and rebirth.

There was a party that Saturday. I needed to go to the library to get a head on homework before I went out. I turned the corner as he turned the corner. I stumbled backwards, he caught my elbow, and before I knew it, I was falling for him, I guess. He said he'd be at the party and hoped to see me there. I just smiled my shy smile, said something silly, I'm sure, and continued on my way. Did he notice the blemish on my forehead? I don't know. I never asked.

The whole situation wasn't romantic in the least. Subsequently, I had a picturesque mental portrait of his face, each flaw and perfection, his buggy eyes and closed mouth. I felt he was just some boy that reappeared. Proving how immensely strange the universe is.

Vahan and his family are caught in the middle of the Armenian Genocide. In the book, Forgotten Fire, by Adam Bagdasarian, Sarkis Kendrian is a well respected Armenian mandarin of the city of Bitlis with several children and very little to worry about. That, of course, was until the beginning of the Armenian Genocide. Just after the beginning of it, multiple military personnel showed up at the front door of the home of Sarkis. They said he was wanted by the government and even though he knew that was not true he went with it. He, along with many other men from his town, were taken into the streets where they were killed. Shortly after, two of Vahan’s older brothers were taken behind the house and killed as well. This left the mother, Vahan, and his sisters and brother on their own as they were taken by the military along with many other members

Before you is a battlefield. The land that bears this violence is deprived of the beauty it once held. It is riddled with craters, mostly likely created from bombs, grenades, and other explosives of the same caliber. Trees once filled with life are now black small traces of heat, and flames linger on the now charred remains of the tree. Few have broken down from more or less likely a body that was sent flying during the battle to then crash and destroy the charred remains. A few odd slash or bullet holes left by swords or guns, the latter of the two more then not. Clouds of dust and debris scattered around the land, making it hard to see as to where or what is going on within. The sounds that can heard within the clouds are chanting of magic

Since entering college, I've been teaching myself how to wood burn. I started off by burning designs onto simple pieces like ornaments, bowls, and coasters. As my skill has improved, I now also do commissions where I take photos and wood burn the image onto plaques. As this is a hobby that I've been doing for many years, I can't accurately determine the total hours for this

One particular day I had to show a condo off to a new client, he was from Ohio and had only been to New York one time. He had recently gotten a job at a major investment firm and needed a place fast. We had spoke online a few times, and he looked sexy from what I could see, so I made sure to dress in something that would grab his attention.

He looked like your everyday, attractive mid-westerner. He had blue eyes that looked like they had come out of a precious stone.I was
